The Thai baht has always been the currency of Thailand, but prior to the 19th century, it was known as the tical.

Prior to 1897, the baht was subdivided into many different denominations, such as the bia (1/6400 baht), and the feuang (1/8 baht). In 1897, the present decimalization system was introduced and the old denominations were replaced by 1910.
