The baht (Thai: บาท, sign: ฿; code: THB) is the currency of Thailand. It is subdivided into 100 (สตางค์). The issuance of currency is the responsibility of the Bank of Thailand.
History
The currency was originally known as the tical; this name was used in the English language text on banknotes until 1925. However, the name baht was established as the Thai name by the 19th century. Both tical and baht were originally units of weight, and coins were issued in both silver and gold denominated by their weight in baht and its fractions and multiples.
