Bank of Thailand Issues Commemorative Banknote
The Bank of Thailand has announced the availability of a new commemorative banknote honoring Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
According to a report by Thai Post on September 14, 2026, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) has officially opened the exchange process for a new commemorative banknote. This special currency issue is dedicated to honoring Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this release represents a significant cultural event. Commemorative banknotes are often sought after by collectors and those interested in Thai royal history. While these notes are legal tender, they are frequently kept as keepsakes rather than used for daily transactions. If you are interested in obtaining one, it is advisable to check with local commercial banks or the Bank of Thailand’s official channels regarding specific exchange locations and availability, as these items are typically issued in limited quantities.
At this stage, specific details regarding the exact denomination of the note, the total number of pieces available for public exchange, and the specific duration of the exchange period remain to be confirmed. Those planning to visit a bank to exchange currency should monitor official announcements from the Bank of Thailand to ensure they have the most current information before traveling to a branch.
