This series has been issued to glorify Thai kings of different periods from past to present. The denominational range of the new series, which retains the sizes and the colors of the current series (series 15) consists of 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 baht. Each denomination of the new banknotes will be issued separately, with intervals between releases, so it will take several years until all denominations are introduced.
