The Bank of Thailand issued Thai Baht banknotes in 6 different denominations, including this 500 Thai Baht banknote (updated portrait). They are part of the current Thai Baht banknotes series. The Bank of Thailand started issuing these 500 Thai Baht banknotes in 2014. They are currently still in circulation.

The violet 500 baht note has the updated portrait of Bhumibol Adulyadej, better known as King Rama IX, on the obverse side. On the reverse is Thailand’s famous Buddhist temple complex of Wat Pho in Bangkok, and Phra Phutthayotfa Chulalok, who as Rama I became the first king of the reigning House of Chakri of Siam (now known as Thailand).

In 2017 a new version of this banknote was issued in remembrance of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) who died in 2016. This version shows the King as a mature man on the reverse.
