Question
What currency is best to bring to Phuket?
Insider's Response
The national currency of Thailand is the baht. The Thai baht is tied to the US dollar, so it’s best to bring US dollars in cash to Phuket. Other currencies, such as rubles, euros, or yuan, can also be exchanged at currency exchange offices, but the exchange rate will be less favorable.
