About Baht thailandez (THB)
The Thai baht (THB) is the currency of Thailand. All banknotes feature the reigning monarch — the current series depicts King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X). Thailand has a lèse-majesté law, so banknotes (bearing the king's image) must be treated with respect — stepping on a banknote is considered an offense. The BOT targets inflation of 1–3%, and the baht is one of the most traded currencies in Southeast Asia.
