The main language spoken here is Thai. In the city, people may speak small amounts of English. There are regional languages in some areas of Thailand, but the main language is still Thai.
To introduce yourself in Thai, you can say: Chan Chuu (your name)
So for me, it would be: Chan chuu Marcel (My name is Marcel)
The money in Thailand is called baht. It is very colorful and has pictures of political figures on it, similar to how there are presidents on U.S. dollars. One dollar in the United States is about 30 baht.
Yesterday I bought a bottle of water at 7-Eleven, and it was seven baht, which is $0.23 in the U.S.
Thailand is famous for pad thai! It is a noodle dish that has vegetables, egg, peanuts, and sometimes meat. Usually it is served with lime and spicy pepper flakes. It is one of my favorite things to eat here, but I also love the fruit! Dragon fruit is my favorite.
