Below, we analyze Thailand to India historical remittance data to help you understand where costs may arise and share some best practices to try to maximize your INR payout.
Data-driven cost insights for Thailand to India money transfers
When you send money internationally from Thailand to India, the key factors that will influence the overall cost of your transaction are:
- THB-INR exchange rate
- Transfer fee

Ideally, you would want to optimize these 4 factors to try to get the maximum INR payout for your overseas recipient in India.
Another counter-balancing aspect is money transfer speed. If you need to rush money from Thailand to India, you may have to compromise on some of the above factors whilst optimizing for speed.

🛠️ Key takeaway: Compare providers using both exchange rate and fees, then optimize your payment and delivery methods to reduce total cost.
Below, we provide detailed data-driven insights on various factors that influence the total cost of your Thailand to India money transfers.
📈 THB to INR exchange rate is often the biggest driver of both cost and payout
The exchange rate on your Thailand to India money transfers is usually the single biggest factor that will determine your overall THB cost and your recipient's INR payout.
To analyze exchange rates, we will rely on the exchange rate markup (also called FX margin) which is the difference between the mid-market exchange rate
Based on historical pricing data for a THB 7100 money transfer benchmark, we see the following FX markup ranges for Thai Baht to India transfers:
- Average markup: 3.02%
- Median markup: 1.64%
- Lowest markup: -0.44%
ⓘA negative markup generally represents a promotional exchange rate whereby a provider offers an exchange rate that is even higher than the mid-market rate, often on smaller amounts. - Highest markup: 11.38%
That is a spread of 11.82 percentage points between the lowest and highest observed FX markups.
To put this into perspective, on a THB 7100 transfer, the above markup range is equivalent to roughly INR 839.22 purely from differences in the exchange rate. That incremental saving increases to INR 2,103.96 for a THB 17800 transfer.
🛠️ How to use this insight: When comparing providers for Thailand to India remittances, pay close attention to the exchange rate you receive. A small difference in the FX markup can quickly outweigh other factors like fees, and the gap generally grows as transfer amounts increase.
THB to INR exchange rate can be the single most critical factor that determines the cost of your transfer. When comparing providers, keep an eye on the rate you will get.
💰 Transfer fees affect your total Thailand to India remittance cost
Whilst exchange rate is a major factor affecting total transfer cost, the transfer fee can also have a big impact on how much of your Thai Baht reaches your recipient in India.
Based on data from last 5 years, we notice the below about Thai Baht to India money transfer fees:
- Average fee: THB 655.01
- Median fee: THB 600.00
- Lowest fee: THB 16.05
- Highest fee: THB 1,650.00
The average fee amount of THB 655.01 noted above represents 9.23% of the total amount sent.
Also note that even if two providers provide the same exchange rate, a best vs worst case transfer fee can increase the payout by THB 1,633.95.
🛠️ How to use this insight: For your next money transfer from Thailand to Indian Rupee, look for providers that provide lower (or even 0) fees.
One caveat to this, though, is something called the hidden fee. Some providers may hide their real fees by offering a 0 or low fee, but providing a lower exchange rate. The money lost due to an inferior FX rate affects your bottom line and is referred to as a hidden fee. Therefore, you should also keep an eye on rates whilst paying attention to fees.
Another point that you should keep in mind is that for larger transfers, fixed fees become a lesser percentage of total amount. But for smaller transfers, fees can be a major part of total cost.
💸 Payment and delivery methods matter for THB-INR remittances
Based on our detailed analysis of historical Thailand to India data, we see consistent variation in overall cost amongst the payment method and delivery method you choose.
Here is the average cost for popular payment methods used to send money to India from Thailand:

- Mobile Wallet: 4.23%

That is a total spread of 10.85 percentage points.
This means that on a THB 7100 transfer, you could save up to THB 770.55 simply by choosing the best priced payment method.
These savings will only multiply for higher THB amounts.
Here is the average cost of popular delivery methods used to send money from Thailand to India:
- Cash Pickup: 4.90%
- Bank Deposit: 14.62%
The cost difference between the above delivery methods is 9.72 percentage points.
Once again, this means that you could save up to THB 690.38 on a THB 7100 transfer to India by choosing Cash Pickup versus Bank Deposit.
As you can imagine, the possible combinations of Thailand payment methods and India delivery methods will all have disparate cost. Let us look at that next.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thailand to India money transfers
These FAQs use data from RemitFinder's historical analysis of Thailand to India money transfers over several years.
What factors affect the total cost of sending money from Thailand to India?
The total cost of your THB-INR money transfer depends on how you fund the transaction (payment method), how the recipient receives it (delivery method), the exchange rate you get, and any transfer fee charged by the provider.
To avoid overpaying for your transfer, compare money transfer providers.
How much does the exchange rate affect Thailand to India transfers?
Historical THB to INR exchange rate markup ranges from -0.44% to 11.38%, a spread of 11.82 percentage points. Even small differences in the exchange rate markup can impact your final payout significantly.
Can THB-INR exchange rate markup be negative?
Sometimes, money transfer providers may offer promotional exchange rates that are better than the mid-market exchange rate, resulting in a negative THB-INR exchange rate markup.
Such offers are generally limited by transfer amount, eligibility, or duration. Compare providers to see if you can take advantage of any ongoing special offers.
Is the exchange rate or the transfer fee more important for Thailand to India transfers?
Exchange rate markup ranges from -0.44% to 11.38% (a spread of 11.82 percentage points).
Transfer fees range from THB 16.05 to THB 1650.00, which equals roughly 23.01% on a THB 7100.00 transfer.
At THB 7100.00, the larger driver of overall cost is the transfer fee, whilst at THB 17800.00, it shifts toward exchange rate markup.
Regardless, our recommendation is that it is important to compare both exchange rates and fees when choosing a provider for Thailand to India transfers.
As the transfer amount increases, the % impact of fees decreases (because the fee gets spread across a larger THB amount), whilst exchange rate markup remains a percentage-based cost that can scale with transfer size.
For smaller transfers, fees can matter more, whilst for larger transfers, exchange rate often becomes the bigger driver. Either way, comparing both helps you get the most INR for your THB.
How much can Thailand to India transfer costs vary between providers?
Historical transfer cost ranges from 0.67% to 30.53% for THB transfers to India. That is a spread of 29.86 percentage points, meaning significant differences between various money transfer providers.
A major contributor to this variation is exchange rate markup. FX markup alone ranges from -0.44% to 11.38% (a spread of 11.82 percentage points). Thus, even small differences in FX margin can have a big impact on the final INR payout.
Why do various money transfer providers price THB to India transfers differently?
If you send the same Thai Baht amount to India via different providers, the cost of each transfer will be different because of variations in FX markup, fees, and payment and delivery methods.
Even small differences among all the above factors can change the final INR payout in India in a big way.
How stable are transfer costs in the Thailand to India corridor?
When we analyzed the historical total cost for THB-INR transfers, we observed a range from 0.67% to 30.53% (29.86 percentage points difference), along with a variability (standard deviation) of 9.43%.
