thai baht bills youll get when you convert aud to thb

Are you flying to Thailand soon? Every Baht counts when you’re planning hotels, meals, and sightseeing. If you’re wondering how much 100 AUD to THB is today, here’s the quick answer: check the live exchange rate before you pay.

Right now, 100 AUD equals roughly 2,370–2,390 Thai Baht. But it depends on the live AUD to THB exchange rate you use. Also, exchange rates move every second as markets shift across Australia, Asia, and beyond.

That’s why at Foreign Xchange, we help Australians like you avoid nasty surprises with real-time rates and even a rate tracking feature that helps you lock down your exchange at the best price of the day.

How Much Is 100 AUD in Thai Baht Today?

As of August 2025, 100 AUD equals around 1,850–2,100 Thai Baht, depending on where you convert.

That’s the mid-market rate you see on currency charts. But most banks clip 2–3% off that rate. So, instead of, maybe, 1,989 THB, you might only see 1,899 THB land in your hand. That’s dinner and drinks for two in Bangkok gone in bank margins, except you go to online exchanges like Foreign Xchange.

Banks often quote rates slightly lower than real market prices because they add margins.

Example:

  • At a live mid-market rate of 1 AUD = 23.85 THB, 100 AUD = 2,385 THB.
  • If the bank adds a 3% margin, you get only 2,313 THB.

That’s a difference of 72 Baht, enough to cover meals for a day in Thailand.

Factors That Affect the AUD to THB Exchange Rate

The AUD to THB rate reacts fast to global and local shifts. Here’s how each factor moves the needle with real context:

Inflation

When inflation in Australia runs high, the dollar weakens. For example, in early 2023, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia, inflation hit 7.8%, the highest since 1990. That pushed the AUD lower as investors expected living costs to erode returns. Meanwhile, Thailand’s lower inflation of around 1.7% in 2023 helped keep the Thai Baht steady.

Interest Rates

Higher rates attract global money. When the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) lifted its cash rate from 0.1% to 4.35% in 2022-23, the AUD gained value because investors chased better returns. In contrast, the Bank of Thailand’s policy rate stayed near 2.5%, making the Baht less attractive for yield hunters.

Political Stability

Markets hate uncertainty. During Australia’s federal election in May 2022, the AUD dipped briefly as traders waited for results. Similarly, protests in Bangkok in 2020 sent the Thai Baht down 3% in one month against the US dollar.

Global Demand

The AUD is often called a “commodity currency.” When iron ore prices hit US$230 per tonne in mid-2021, Australia’s export earnings jumped, boosting the AUD. When prices dropped below US$100 later that year, the dollar fell too, even against the Thai Baht.

Market Sentiment

Risk appetite drives hourly swings. When global stock markets rise, traders buy higher-risk currencies like AUD. But during COVID-19’s first wave in March 2020, investors rushed to “safe” currencies like the USD and JPY, making the AUD fall nearly 15% in two weeks against many currencies, including THB.

Where to Convert AUD to THB Safely

You generally have three main options:

  • Banks: Secure, but often add fees and weaker exchange rates.
  • Currency exchange kiosks: Convenient, but airport kiosks charge heavy mark-ups. Plus, you have to join a queue.
  • Online platforms: Online platforms like Foreign Xchange offer live rates with no hidden fees, and delivery straight to your door.

Travellers converting Australian dollars to Thai Baht often find online currency converters cheaper and faster.

Tips to Get the Best Conversion Rate

Here’s how to avoid losing money when converting AUD 100 to THB:

  • Check rates early: Watch the AUD to THB chart over several days to spot trends.
  • Use online platforms: They give mid-market rates without heavy bank margins.
  • Avoid airport kiosks: Their prices are the worst because they exploit last-minute travellers.
  • Convert larger amounts once: Multiple small transfers mean repeated fixed fees.
  • Look for zero hidden fees: Always read the total cost before confirming.
  • Lock in rates: Some services let you freeze today’s rate for future use.

Doing this could save hundreds of Baht over a single trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best way to convert 100 AUD to THB?

Skip the airport kiosks. They’re notorious for giving 4–5% worse rates than the real market price. For 100 AUD, that’s like throwing away 100 Baht for no reason. Online platforms with live rates and no hidden fees, such as Foreign Xchange usually stick close to the real rate, sometimes within 0.5% of the market price. You see exactly what you’re getting before you lock it in.

Do live exchange rates change every day?

They don’t just change daily. They move every single second. Markets in Sydney, Bangkok, London, and New York all push the rate around as they open and close. On a busy day with big news, the AUD to THB rate can swing 1–2% in 24 hours. On 100 AUD, that’s a 20–40 THB difference; about the cost of a tuk-tuk ride across Chiang Mai.

Is it cheaper to convert AUD to THB online?

Most of the time, yes. Banks often hit you with a $10 transfer fee plus a worse rate on top. Online providers cut those costs out. Some even offer free delivery if you spend above a minimum amount. So, 100 AUD might come with zero fees if you plan it right.

Can I lock in the AUD to THB rate?

Yep, some services like Foreign Xchange track the rates for when AUD is strongest, while others let you freeze today’s rate for 24–48 hours after you book. Say the rate is 1 AUD = 23.90 THB now, if the Baht strengthens overnight to 23.50 THB, you’re protected. On 100 AUD, that’s 40 Thai Baht saved.
