Any currency or payment tips?

Currency & Tips: We recommend you carry Thai Baht in small bills. ATMs and currency exchanges outside the airport offer better rates. 7/11 stores are great for breaking large bills. Tipping is appreciated—around 10% is customary. QR code payments: Widely used for instant, cashless payments via mobile banking apps like Deep Pocket, allowing users to scan and pay at nearly any vendor—from street stalls to hotels. You may need your passport and license to set up.
