Currency

Q: What is the unit of currency in Thailand?

A: It is called the Thai Baht. After a major economic downturn 3 years ago during the Asian financial crisis the Baht has stabilized at around 40 to 1 US dollar. Making Thailand one of the best values in the world. Twice the value of a Mexico vacation for Americans. As an example a six course dinner in a 4 star hotel restaurant would cost about $15.00. Regular dinner in a regular restaurant, $7.00. Lunch in a café, $2.50
