To the left, a transparent window element incorporates a pentagonal holographic security device with the denomination numeral 100 in gold, flanked by the Royal Thai Government emblem at upper right and two authorising signatures with their Thai-script titles below centre; the denomination is rendered in both Thai numerals and Arabic numerals. |

Thailand's polymer 100 Baht was part of the Bank of Thailand's gradual migration away from cotton-paper substrates, a program that accelerated after the country gained experience with shorter-denomination polymer issues. The switch was driven partly by durability studies showing polymer notes lasting two to three times longer in Thailand's humid, high-circulation conditions — particularly relevant for the 100 Baht, one of the most actively handled denominations in everyday commerce.
Pick w147 distinguishes this from the long-running cotton-paper 100 Baht series; the "w" prefix in the Pick catalogue specifically flags polymer substrate issues.
