SGD to THB Exchange Rate Today
As of 24 May 2026, the live SGD to THB rate is:
- 1 SGD = 25.5882 THB
- S$100 SGD = 2,559 THB
The Sing dollar is up 3.10% against the baht over the past year. After a sharp dip to around 23.60 in January 2026, the SGD has climbed back above 25.50 and now sits near its 1-year high — a friendlier picture than the strong-baht headlines of last year suggested.
Zoom out 5 years, and it’s better still: SGD is up 8.37% against the baht. The 5-year peak was ~27.00 in mid-2024. The all-time low? Around 20, back in 2008.
💡 Pro tip for Singaporean travellers: Lock in rates using YouTrip to avoid bank markups and save on every THB spent!
SGD to THB Chart & Historical Trend
| Time Frame | High | Low | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year (May 2025–May 2026) | ~25.70 (recent) | ~23.60 (Jan 2026) | +3.10% |
| 5 Years | ~27.00 (mid-2024) | ~23.50 (2021) | +8.37% |
| All-Time (MAX) | ~27.00 (2024) | ~20.00 (2008) | +10.11% |
The Sing dollar dipped against the baht through late 2025, bottoming near ~23.60 in January 2026, then rebounded strongly to ~25.59 today. So while the baht had a genuinely strong 2025, the recent trend has swung back in the Sing dollar’s favour — up 3.10% on the year, and up 8.37% over five years. Keep it in perspective, but the timing’s good if you’re heading over soon.
SGD to THB Forecast 2026
| Period | Forecast High | Forecast Low | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2026 (Apr–Jun) | ~25.75 | ~24.80 | Already near the top of the range; could push higher if the US dollar firms up |
| Q3 2026 (Jul–Sep) | ~25.50 | ~24.50 | Likely to hold fairly steady |
| Q4 2026 (Oct–Dec) | ~25.25 | ~24.00 | Could ease back if Thailand cuts interest rates again |
Bottom line: The SGD to THB rate looks set to trade broadly in the 24–25.75 range for most of 2026. We don’t pretend to predict currency moves — but at ~25.59 today you’re already in a strong window, so if you’ve got a trip coming up, there’s a fair case to lock in your THB via YouTrip’s Thai Baht Wallet rather than wait.
💡 Pro tip: Set a rate alert in the YouTrip app or on XE.com for when SGD to THB crosses 25.75. You’ll get a notification when it’s time to convert.
What Is a Good SGD to THB Exchange Rate?
| Rate (1 SGD = X THB) | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 26.00 and above | 🟢 Excellent | Near 5-year highs (~27.00 in 2024) — exchange now |
| 25.00–25.99 | 🟡 Good | Around today’s rate (25.59) — a strong time to exchange |
| 24.50–24.99 | 🟠 Average | Just below today’s rate — typical market conditions |
| Below 24.00 | 🔴 Weak | Near recent lows — wait if you can, or use YouTrip for 0-fee access |
Right now at 25.59, we’re firmly in Good territory — a strong time to convert, and not far off the 26.00 “Excellent” mark. The 1-year high of ~25.70 was the sweet spot, and we’re almost there. Set a rate alert for 25.75+ if you want to hold out for the very top.
Why Is the Thai Baht So Strong Right Now?
The baht had a remarkable run through 2025 — it was one of Asia’s strongest currencies, gaining around 9% against the USD. It’s eased back in 2026 (which is why the Sing dollar is up on the year), but it’s still firm by historical standards. Here’s what drove the rally:
- Weakening US Dollar — Fed rate cuts made the USD softer, which lifted Asian currencies, including THB.
- Surging Gold Prices & Trading — Thailand has a huge gold trading scene; rising prices prompt traders to sell USD and buy THB en masse.
- Capital Inflows & Foreign Investment — Direct equity investment into Thailand grew in 2024 and kept climbing in 2025.
- Tourism Recovery — More foreign tourists converting currencies into THB adds demand.
- Foreign Bond Purchases — Net purchases of Thai government bonds by foreign investors created additional THB demand.
⚠️ Worth knowing: At the peak, even Thailand’s own Finance Minister called the baht “too strong,” saying it was hurting the economy, and the Bank of Thailand stepped in to slow the inflows driving it up. That’s part of why the rate has softened back toward 25.50 — handy timing for Singaporean travellers.

Is It Better to Exchange in Singapore or Thailand?
| Method | Exchange in Singapore | Exchange in Thailand |
|---|---|---|
| YouTrip card 👑 | Lock in your THB wallet in-app before you fly: wholesale rate, zero fees | Same wholesale rate, zero fees — tap to pay anywhere Mastercard’s accepted |
| Money changer | Good rates at People’s Park, Lucky Plaza | Excellent rates at SuperRich, Grand SuperRich |
| Bank counter | Avoid — high markup | Avoid — high markup |
| ATM withdrawal | N/A | Withdraw with YouTrip (free up to S$400/month) |
| Airport counter | Avoid — poor rates at Changi | Avoid — poor rates at Suvarnabhumi |
Our take: For cash, Bangkok’s SuperRich often edges out Singapore money changers by a small margin. But if you’re using YouTrip, it doesn’t matter where you are — you’re always getting the best available rate with zero fees.
Cash, Card, or YouTrip?
Honestly? Use both. Here’s how to split it smartly:
- YouTrip Card (recommended for most payments) — Use for hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, Grab rides, and any larger purchases. You’ll always get the best available rate with zero transaction fees. Top up your THB wallet in-app before your trip to lock in a good rate.
- Cash (Thai Baht) — Carry some for street food, night markets, tuk-tuks, small vendors, and local temples where cards aren’t accepted.
- Credit Card — Avoid using standard Singapore credit cards overseas unless your card has 0% FX fees. Most charge 2–3.25% on every THB transaction — those fees add up fast.
The sweet spot: Bring a bit of cash for markets and street food, and let YouTrip handle everything else. Simple, stress-free, and you’re always on a great rate.
How to Pay in Thailand
The YouTrip card is a prepaid Mastercard, so it works anywhere in Thailand that accepts Mastercard payments. Here’s where you can use it:
- 🛍️ Stores, malls & restaurants: Pay for shopping, meals, cafés and attraction tickets just like a regular pre-paid card. If they accept card payments, YouTrip works.
- 🚝 Public transport (MRT): In Bangkok, you can tap your card at MRT gantries or use it at ticket machines and counters for train rides.
- 🚗 Grab & Bolt rides: Link your YouTrip card to Grab or Bolt for seamless e-hailing payments at competitive exchange rates — no surprise FX charges after your trip.
How Much Money Should I Bring to Thailand?
How much baht you need really depends on where you’re going and how you travel. Here’s a rough daily guide:
| Travel Style | THB/Day | SGD/Day (est.) | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | 1,000–1,500 | S$40–60 | Hostels, street food, local transport |
| Mid-range | 2,000–3,000 | S$80–120 | 3-star hotels, sit-down meals, taxis |
| Luxury | 4,000+ | S$160+ | 5-star resorts, fine dining, private tours |
Didn’t get to exchange before your trip? No stress — just withdraw THB from Bangkok ATMs using your YouTrip card. You get free withdrawals of up to S$400 in foreign currency per calendar month, with a 2% fee after that.
FAQs: SGD to Thai Baht
As of 24 May 2026, 1 SGD = 25.5882 THB (mid-market), up about 3% year-on-year. Always check the live rate in the YouTrip app or XE before exchanging.
Above 25.00 THB per SGD is solid; 25.50+ is great. At ~25.59 today, you’re in a strong window.
At 25.5882, S$100 ≈ 2,559 THB. A year ago (~24.82), the same S$100 would have got you only about 2,482 THB — so you’re better off today.
A softer USD, gold flows, and stronger foreign investment pushed the baht up through 2025. It’s eased back in 2026 as Thai authorities moved to cool it, but it remains firm by historical standards.
For cash, Bangkok money changers often edge out Singapore by 0.5–1 THB. For card payments, YouTrip gives you wholesale rates with no FX fees wherever you are.
YouTrip offers competitive in-app rates anytime. For physical cash, check major money changer hubs like Chinatown or Orchard and compare rates first.
Most projections place the pair roughly between 24 and 25.75. A return to 27.00 looks unlikely any time soon.
Yes — it works anywhere Mastercard is accepted, including malls, restaurants, transport and hotels. You also get up to S$400 in free overseas ATM withdrawals monthly, with a 2% fee thereafter.
Use comparison platforms that aggregate live money changer rates across Singapore and Bangkok, or use the YouTrip app to compare live THB rates.
