Plural of baht; the monetary currency unit of Thailand, or coins/bills of Thai currency.
From Thai 'baht' (บาท), possibly from Sanskrit 'bhara' (weight or measure). The baht has been Thailand's currency since 1851, with modern coinage standardized in the 20th century.
Thailand's currency kept its ancient name through colonialism and modernization—most Asian countries adopted European currency systems, but Thailand kept 'baht,' making it a linguistic island of independence!
