The Bank of Thailand has printed two types of 100-baht commemorative banknotes to honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, and Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha. These will be available for exchange simultaneously at all banks nationwide starting 21 December 2026 GMT+7.
Mr. Vichai Ratanakorn, Governor of the Bank of Thailand (BOT), stated that the BOT has received royal permission to issue commemorative banknotes in grateful recognition of the boundless grace of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, and the profound kindness of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha. This issuance is to pay tribute and remembrance of their benevolence and to allow the public to exchange for keepsakes.
The BOT has printed 10 million copies of each of the two 100-baht commemorative banknotes. They will be available for exchange at face value starting 21 December 2026 GMT+7 at all branches of commercial banks, Government Savings Bank, Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, Government Housing Bank, and Islamic Bank of Thailand nationwide.
The two commemorative banknotes have fronts identical to the current 100-baht polymer banknote, Series 17, in circulation. The reverse side features images of royal duties and benevolent activities performed for the welfare of the people and nation, all cherished in the memory of the Thai people. Additionally, special fluorescent features have been added that glow under ultraviolet light, differing in color and design from circulating banknotes.
Simultaneously, the BOT has produced brochures for the commemorative banknotes, with 2 million sets per type available for sale at 10 baht per set. All proceeds from brochure sales will be respectfully presented to His Majesty the King as a royal merit dedication according to royal discretion.
