Set up a THB / FX hedge with Bangkok Bank

Thai hotels that publish inventory in multiple currencies carry an FX exposure between contract and settlement. This guide explains the plain-vanilla forward-contract path with Bangkok Bank.

Step 1 — Size the exposure

The THB / FX Hedge Report module reads booked revenue by currency from your HotelMinder workspace via the official API and produces a 90-day forward exposure profile. Use it to size the notional.

Step 2 — Open a corporate FX line

Book an appointment with your Bangkok Bank corporate branch. Bring your Thai Tax ID, DBD registration extract, and the last two months of foreign-currency revenue export from HotelMinder. The bank will assess your line limit — typically 25–40% of average monthly foreign-currency revenue for a well-run boutique.

Step 3 — Book a forward

Use a plain-vanilla forward — sell EUR / buy THB — at 30, 60 or 90 days. Bangkok Bank publishes indicative forward points daily; the FX Hedge Report commentary will help you decide when the point structure is favourable.

Step 4 — Reconcile at maturity

At settlement, the forward is closed against the spot rate and the difference credited or debited to your THB current account. Book it against foreign-currency reservation revenue that arrived in the same window.

This is not financial advice — please engage your CFO or Bangkok Bank corporate FX desk before entering any material forward contract.
