The Baht Stops Here

The Thai unit of currency in the BAHT.  The current exchange rate is about 31 bahts to the US dollar.



Prices are very inexpensive here in Thailand, especially outside of Bangkok.  Our hotel in Lopburi cost 750 baht per night with breakfast and wi fi included.  That equates to $24 per night.

Roundtrip airfare from Bangkok to Nakhon Phanom was a little more than $100 equivalent.

A bottle of Coke - 13 baht (42 cents).  One of the Brazilian Rotarians bought a button down shirt for 40 baht ($1.30). 

If you drop a baht, you should not step on it to keep it from blowing away.  This is because it has the King's picture on it and you should not step on the King.
