...Thailand - 2022 Full Set Of Five Notes

ราชอาณาจักรไทย

(Kingdom of Thailand)

 

Bank of Thailand, Est.1942

(ธนาคารแห่งประเทศไทย)

Currency : Baht (THB) 

 

Here is a full set of five banknotes. These notes belong to the 17 Series, which was first introduced in 2017 and 2018. Since then, there were few reprints issued but not in full sets. The below notes were reportedly released in (nd)2022 and I believe these are the only full sets issued since these were first introduced in 2017. The 20 baht note has since been replaced by a polymer series, whilst the rest are still printed on paper materials.

 

The designs on the front are all the same, with the portrait of the current King of Thailand, King Rama X in his Air Force Marshal uniform. On the back, from 20 baht to 1000 baht, there are printed with two portraits of the Thai Kings, representing the Chakri Dynasty since 1782. Needless to say, the current King appears twice on the 1000 baht, both front and back.
