SGD to THB Exchange Rate Today

SGD to THB 1-year chart — 1 SGD = 26.2608 THB, up 5.22% over 1 year (XE.com, 29 Sept 2026)

As of 29 September 2026, the live SGD to THB rate is:

  • 1 SGD = 26.2608 THB
  • S$100 SGD = 2,626 THB

The Sing dollar is up 5.22% against the baht over the past year. After a dip to around 23.90 in January 2026, the SGD has climbed steadily and now sits near its 1-year high — a much stronger position than a year ago.

Zoom out 5 years, and it’s a smaller gain: SGD is up 6.15% against the baht. That’s a lower percentage than the 1-year figure. It just means the rate 5 years ago was already closer to today’s level than the rate 12 months ago was. The 5-year peak was ~27.30 in 2023–24. 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

SGD to THB 5-year chart — up 6.15% over 5 years, peak ~27.30 in 2023–24 (XE.com, 29 Sept 2026)
SGD to THB max chart — up 13.01% long term, low ~20 around 2008 (XE.com, 29 Sept 2026)
Time FrameHighLowChange
1 Year (Sep 2025–Sep 2026)~26.60 (recent)~23.90 (Jan 2026)+5.22%
5 Years~27.30 (2023–24)~22.00 (2025)+6.15%
All-Time (MAX)~27.30 (2024)~20.00 (2008)+13.01%

The Sing dollar dipped against the baht through late 2025, bottoming near ~23.90 in January 2026, then climbed steadily to ~26.26 today. So while the baht had a genuinely strong run for most of 2025, the trend’s swung firmly in the Sing dollar’s favour since — up 5.22% on the year, and up 6.15% over five years. Keep it in perspective, but the timing’s good if you’re heading over soon.

SGD to THB Forecast

PeriodForecast HighForecast LowWhat to watch
Q4 2026 (Oct–Dec)~27.00~25.50Near multi-year highs; could ease if the Bank of Thailand steps in to cool the baht again, as it did in 2025
Q1 2027 (Jan–Mar)~26.75~24.75Post-holiday demand for baht typically softens, which can nudge the rate down slightly

Bottom line: The SGD to THB rate looks set to trade broadly in the 25–27 range into early 2027. We don’t pretend to predict currency moves — but at ~26.26 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 26.75. 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)RatingWhat It Means
26.50 and above🟢 ExcellentNear 5-year highs (~27.30 in 2023–24) — exchange now
25.50–26.49🟡 GoodAround today’s rate (26.26) — a strong time to exchange
25.00–25.49🟠 AverageBelow today’s rate — typical market conditions
Below 25.00🔴 WeakNear recent lows — wait if you can, or use YouTrip for 0-fee access

Right now at 26.26, we’re firmly in Good territory, closing in on the 26.50 “Excellent” mark. The 1-year high of ~26.60 was the sweet spot, and we’re almost there. Set a rate alert for 26.75+ 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 against the Sing dollar 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:

  1. Weakening US Dollar — Fed rate cuts made the USD softer, which lifted Asian currencies, including THB.
  2. Surging Gold Prices & Trading — Thailand has a huge gold trading scene; rising prices prompt traders to sell USD and buy THB en masse.
  3. Capital Inflows & Foreign Investment — Direct equity investment into Thailand grew in 2024 and kept climbing in 2025.
  4. Tourism Recovery — More foreign tourists converting currencies into THB adds demand.
  5. 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 Sing dollar has clawed back ground through 2026 — handy timing for Singaporean travellers.

Not sure which money changer is offering the best SGD to THB rate today? CashChanger (cashchanger.co) does the comparison for you — it’s free, updated throughout the day, and covers money changers all across Singapore.

How to use it:

Is It Better to Exchange in Singapore or Thailand?

MethodExchange in SingaporeExchange in Thailand
YouTrip card 👑Lock in your THB wallet in-app before you fly: wholesale rate, zero feesSame wholesale rate, zero fees — tap to pay anywhere Mastercard’s accepted
Money changerGood rates at People’s Park, Lucky PlazaExcellent rates at SuperRich, Grand SuperRich
Bank counterAvoid — high markupAvoid — high markup
ATM withdrawalN/AWithdraw with YouTrip (free up to S$400/month)
Airport counterAvoid — poor rates at ChangiAvoid — 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

  • 🚗 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?

FAQs: SGD to Thai Baht

What is the SGD to THB exchange rate today?

As of 29 September 2026, 1 SGD = 26.2608 THB (mid-market), up about 5% year-on-year. Always check the live rate in the YouTrip app or XE before exchanging.

What is a good SGD to THB exchange rate?

Above 25.50 THB per SGD is solid; 26.50+ is excellent. At ~26.26 today, you’re in a strong window.

How much is S$100 in Thai Baht?

At 26.2608, S$100 ≈ 2,626 THB. A year ago (~24.96), the same S$100 would have got you only about 2,496 THB — so you’re better off today by around 130 THB.

Why is the Thai Baht strong?

A softer USD, gold flows, and stronger foreign investment pushed the baht up through 2025. It eased back against the Sing dollar in 2026 as Thai authorities moved to cool it, but it remains firm by historical standards.
