Sending Thai baht from Thailand to the United States? Whether you're supporting US family, paying tuition at a US university, settling a US business invoice, or completing a property purchase — SummitFX gets your THB into a US account at a real rate, with same-day Fedwire delivery typical when funds reach us before our cutoff.
How the Thai baht has moved against the US dollar over recent weeks, months, and years. Use the tabs to switch between time horizons. The live dot shows where the market is right now.
Type in either box — enter a THB amount to see what you'd receive in the United States in dollars, or enter the USD amount you need and we'll show how many Thai baht it costs. Calculated at the live mid-market rate shown above.
Note: The rate shown is the live mid-market rate. Your actual executable rate includes a small spread — typically 0.5–0.9% at SummitFX vs 2–4% at a Thai or US high street bank. We'll always show the full breakdown before you book.
Thailand-to-US is a meaningful corridor — driven by family ties, business invoicing, education, property purchases, and emigration flows. Common reasons our clients send money this way:
Thai nationals and Americans resident in Thailand sending THB to US family — for ongoing support, US property obligations, or one-off transfers.
Thai students at US universities receiving family support payments — particularly at California institutions (UCLA, USC, Berkeley), NYU, and other institutions with established Thai student populations. Predictable termly schedules suit forward contracts.
Thai businesses paying US suppliers across technology, automotive (Thailand-US auto-parts flows), electronics, hospitality (Marriott, Hyatt with Thai operations), and professional services. Treasury teams use forwards to hedge predictable THB-USD exposure.
American retirees living in Thailand under the O-A retirement visa or other long-stay routes supporting US-based family, or maintaining US property and financial obligations. The American retirement cohort in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, and Bangkok is established and growing.
Thai-Americans, US citizens with Thai partners or spouses, or families with mixed Thai-US ties — managing dual-life financial flows. Standing arrangements smooth out monthly currency exposure.

Once converted, USD settles into your US recipient account via Fedwire (the Federal Reserve's wholesale system, same-day for amounts received before cutoff) or ACH (the retail network, typically T+1). Major US banks (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, US Bank, HSBC USA) all support inbound USD via both rails.
The most common reasons a Thailand-to-US transfer slips past same-day:
US OFAC and AML review on inbound USD. US banks apply strict OFAC sanctions screening on all inbound USD transfers, particularly for first-time large amounts or new beneficiary relationships. Standard reviews complete in 30 minutes to two hours; occasionally additional documentation is required.
Late THB arrival in UK time. Our cutoff is 14:00 UK time. Funds sent late afternoon or that bounce through correspondent banks can miss the window.
Thai or US bank holidays. Thai bank holidays differ from US ones (US has additional federal holidays like Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day). Trades booked when either side is closed will settle on the next mutual business day.
You can convert Thai baht to US dollars through your bank, through a transfer app, or through a broker. Thailand-to-US is a corridor where the difference between options is meaningful — both Thai and US banks tend to mark up THB/USD aggressively for retail transfers.

THB/USD trades on BoT versus Federal Reserve policy. Both currencies move on their own central bank's monetary policy stance, economic data, and broader risk sentiment — with USD often acting as the global reserve currency, attracting safe-haven flows during periods of risk-off.
If your THB arrives with us by 14:00 UK time on a UK business day, we settle the USD onward via Fedwire same-day for larger amounts, or ACH for retail (typically T+1). Note US inbound USD typically reaches a US beneficiary's bank within hours via Fedwire.
Thai and US banks typically mark up THB/USD by 2-4% for retail customers. SummitFX spreads are 0.5-0.9% depending on size — meaningful savings, particularly on larger property, business, or family-support transfers.
Yes. If you know an upcoming US property completion, scheduled tuition payment, or future business invoice, a forward contract fixes today's rate for delivery on a future date. You pay a deposit (typically 5-10% of the trade) upfront and settle the balance at delivery.
No hard minimum — we handle trades from THB 1,000 to THB 5m+ on this corridor. For recurring smaller payments (monthly support, mortgage payments), market orders or standing arrangements work better than ad-hoc bookings.
US banks apply AML and OFAC sanctions screening on all inbound USD, particularly for first-time large transfers or new beneficiary relationships. Standard reviews complete in 30 minutes to two hours; occasionally larger or unusual transfers require additional documentation. We work with you on documentation up front to avoid delays.
The Treaty of Amity (1966) gives American businesses preferential treatment in Thailand for certain investment categories. Practical effect on FX transfers is none — THB-to-USD conversions proceed via standard mechanics.
