How to buy Thai Baht

The inviting beaches have attracted both locals and tourists to the islands for many years, and with good reason. It’s no surprise, especially as an average of 400,000 British tourists make their way to Thailand every year. 

If you’re planning on holidaying to the land of smiles, you can buy Thai Baht online from us.

Experience the local splendours of Thailand

Thailand’s award-winning resorts, eclectic nightlife, and impressive landmarks are only a grain in the sand of its many unique experiences. The Southeast Asian country has long inspired travellers to write, paint and sing about its tropical wonders.

Within the beauty of Thailand, travellers can explore Michelin-awarded hawkers in Bangkok and the sights of the Adaman Sea islands on the back of a jet ski. A traditional Thai massage is also ideal for those who need that extra sense of relaxation, especially in the open air on a Ko Samui beach. Then there’s Chiang Rai Night Bazaar, perfect for anyone who wants to pick up a little souvenir. These experiences are best had with local vendors, many of which rely on cash payments. 

Whether you’re off on your honeymoon or planning a family holiday, ensuring you have enough Thai Baht for your trip is important. Order your Thai Baht online and have them delivered straight to your front door, or pick them up at your local John Lewis or Waitrose store. 

Sell your leftover Thai Baht

Once you’re back from your holiday to Thailand, you can sell back any of your leftover Thai Baht banknotes. Exchanging foreign currency to pounds can only be made in-store, so just visit your local John Lewis Bureau de Change with a valid form of ID.   

If your trip to Thailand has been cancelled, you can return your Baht for a full refund within 35 days of the purchase date. Make sure you have your original order receipt or order confirmation when you make the return. Please note returns and buybacks can only be made in-store.
