In Thailand, they speak Thai.
Dialects and accents change dramatically from various regions across the country, but it’s mostly the same.
Thailand uses the Thai Baht.
1 ZAR = THB 2.30
1 USD = THB 32.00
1 EUR = THB 36.00
1 GBP = THB 38.00
You are more likely to use cash than your card when in Thailand, so make sure you have money on you! Markets, small stores and informal traders almost never have card facilities. There are many ATMs scattered around, but if in doubt, just try to find your nearest 7/11, there’s sure to be an ATM there.
These exchange rates are very rough 5-year averages, just so you can get an idea.
We’d highly recommend renting a motorcycle and driving yourself (remember to get your International Driver’s Licence before leaving your home country).
There are so many ways to get around Thailand and everyone is so friendly, so if you’re ever in doubt, just ask someone!
