Thailand — Currency & Money
Thai Baht (THB). Cash dominant; cards in malls and hotels. Use SuperRich exchange (orange) for best rates — never airport currency exchanges. ATMs charge THB 220 fee per withdrawal regardless of amount; withdraw the maximum (THB 30,000 typical) to amortise.
Tipping: not traditional but increasingly expected (10% in restaurants, round up taxis). Bar fines THB 700–1,000; tip THB 100–500 on top of session fee for good experiences.
