How it's used
Thai baht is almost exclusively used in travel contexts or financial news regarding exchange rates. Unlike common currencies like US dollars or Hong Kong dollars, it is rarely discussed in daily life unless one is actively planning a trip to Thailand. When speaking, locals often just refer to it as 泰紙 to emphasize the physical banknotes.
