Is Thailand expensive ? For a lot of things, Thailand is very cheap. A meal can be had for  20B in some roadside restaurants, a cheap room in a guesthouse for  100B  or less. For better quality, the price goes up but it remains very  good  value compared to western countries. Some imported products,  such as luxury cars, are much more expensive  in Thailand than in, for example, the USA. How should I bring money to  Thailand ? Which currency is best to bring ? Should I get some baht  before  I enter Thailand ? The most popular way of bringing money to Thailand nowadays seems to  be with traveller's cheques and/or ATM debit cards. You probably  get  a slightly better deal through an ATM than with a traveller's  cheque  (this depends on what your bank charges for withdrawals).
