Thai is the main language spoken, but in Chiang Mai and Krabi, there are different dialects of the language spoken. Although the main language is Thai, most people have a basic understanding of the English language because of the western influence over the region and the abundant amount of western travelers that come to the area.
The baht is used in Thailand. $1 is equal to about 30 baht, which makes traveling in Thailand fairly affordable for Americans.
A bottle of water costs between seven to 15 baht depending on the size of the water bottle, so this means that it costs less than $1.
I love getting an order of fried chicken and rice. I order it so often that the restaurant I go to to get it gives me a discount on my meal!! He also calls it KFC Thailand, which I find pretty funny.
Much of Thai food consists of some type of stir-fried vegetables and meat, fried rice, fried noodles, some form of curry, and other similar dishes. people within Thailand have a high spice level so more than often, the food will be spicy.
