THAILAND CURRENCY

The official currency of Thailand is the baht (THB), which is subdivided into 100 satangs. The baht, originally a unit of mass like the British pound, was once linked to a specific quantity of silver. In fact, until 1902, one baht was equivalent to 15 grams of silver. Consequently, the baht's value experienced fluctuations in relation to other currencies operating on a gold standard. Between 1902 and 1908, the Thai government increased the value of the baht until it reached a fixed rate of 13 baht per British pound.

The Bank of Thailand, established in 1942, is responsible for issuing the baht and managing the nation's currency and economic policy.
