THAILAND TIPS

HOW MUCH IS THAT?

Normally I am loathe to rely on apps for my iPhone, but I must recommend the “Currency converter calculator!” available for free. It looks like a regular calculator but can show the conversion between over 100 countries and bitcoin. The conversion rates are updated daily through Google, and it comes in handy when you’re wondering what that Bangkok kiosk is charging you for that coffee you’re craving because you just flew over 24 hours to get here. 

(35 THB=$1.04 USD). 

Or, if you’re debating whether to drop 1,100 THB on a pair of very legitimate (I must stress) one-hour hot oil massages for you and Janet at Palace Massage across the street from your hotel. (1,100 THB=$32.62).

Or, if you’re pondering whether to risk a 2,000 THB penalty the Bizotel Premier Hotel will charge you if you try to smuggle a smelly Durian fruit onto the premises. (2,000 THB = $59.30).

Just go to the app store on your phone and search for “Currency converter calculator!” and download.

It’s worth your Baht, or would you prefer that in Vietnamese Dong?.

Thanks for reading. 

Love Janet and greg
