sticklee Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 A well known prolific poster has suggested that it's not worth carrying 20 Baht or less around, in another post. So why don't we suggest for him, and anyone else, the many things that 20 baht or less can buy. I'll start with; a bottle of water, 10 B or less ice cream at DQ, walking street vendor or 7/11 and Tesco-15B or less spring roll, banana roll, fried prawn at walking street-10 B each charitable donation to any of the less fortunate who play and sing at the walking street markets red bus to most locations around the city-20B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Some small kanoms from the bakery under the escalator at Kad Suan Kaew. A small salad from the salad bar on the opposite side of the escalator near the exit to the car park. They charge by weight, so just make a salad using light-weight stuff. My usual salad includes heavy items like beans, corn and a boiled egg and it's never more than 40 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 So what the OP is proposing s just carry twenty baht notes and if it cost less throw it in the street or leave it as a tip. Any thing as long as you don't have it in your pocket. Of course the OP is saying some one else some other place said it. My personal experience carrying it is my nephew gets some spending money every Friday. You people do know there is a burger thread you can post valuable information on.

beb Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) I would guess that the 20 baht note is the equivalent to a US $1 bill in usage. Pretty sure it's the most used denomination in my wallet. And it's exactly what the local washing machine requires. My lunch typically runs around 40 baht or less so if for some reason I decided that I'd only carry 100s or more then I'd be throwing away a lot of money very quickly because almost every transaction would involve those worthless 20s in change. So I don't get the premise. Edited October 14, 2012 by beb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
