The Money in Thailand is called Baht (Bht). So I want to explain to you how Baht converts into US Dollars. For example the 100 Baht bill converts to just $3.17. The 20 baht bill coverts to only $0.63!
Some of the foods here are really cheap. 
Yesterday we got some soup, for lunch that was just 35 baht each. Thats $1.11 per bowl. For the four of us it was $4.44 for lunch! Compare that to lunch at a restaurant in the US!

One US gallon equals 3.8 liters. A liter of gas here costs about 30 baht. So if we multiply 30 by 3.8 we get 114 baht per gallon. In Us dollars that means a gallon costs about $3.45. That's more expensive then in the US.
The smallest brass coin that you see in the picture is just 1/4 baht. That means its .75 of one cent. You couldn't spend it on anything.
