When do you need cash in Thailand?
It is essential to have cash when travelling in Thailand. Card payments are still relatively uncommon in the country, and most restaurants, shops, and modes of transport must be paid for in cash.
Thailand is famous for its many street markets, where you will almost always need to pay in cash. The same applies to most taxis, tuk-tuks, and local buses, which only accept cash.
It is also very common to leave a tip in restaurants, hotels, massage parlours, or to a driver after a journey. Having Thai baht (THB) in cash is therefore indispensable to cover these expenses.
In some remote areas, it can be difficult to find an ATM, and the amount of cash they dispense is often limited. In addition, withdrawal fees can quickly add up. This is why exchanging your currency before departure is crucial – it helps you avoid any stressful situations!
