I use USD because it has value and meaning to me. If the USD has no meaning to you then ok. The Baht to me is just transactional currency while i am in LOS. When I am in SIN, Seoul or Tokyo then the local currency has transactional meaning but no value to me.

As currency rates fluctuate, the US$ price has a tendency to greater stability as US$ is the medium of international trade more often than any other currency. The only exception is when dealing with prices in Europe when quoting in euros can be better. We are living in Thailand, the OP wants a visa trip from Thailand and his flights will be quoted in Baht. Baht is the logical answer. Phnom Penh is the other answer 1 2
zzzzz Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 i have lived in se asia, mostly Thailand with some time in Cambodia, over 35 years I use US$ when i travel around countries cause its the most convenient to convert in my head to what ever country i am in> While in Burma, laos, Malaysia etc, i dont convert the local currency to Baht in my head, but to $$, to know the cost funny how the OP has NOT come back to say where he was travelling from in Thailand ???? guess he really doesn't give a S#@T To each their own. 1
