Today I found 1 foreign coin. Although it will not count toward the daily totals it does keep alive my consecutive change streak.

Surprisingly I’m not feeling the effects of jet lag in the least. This is odd since the time difference between Boston and Bangkok is 11 hours. But, I’m not going to complain.

I can’t even list all the places that we visited today, but I can tell you that at one of the many wat’s that we visited I found a 25 cent Baht on the ground. As the exchange rate is about 33 Baht to the dollar it would be silly to try to convert this. Sufficed to say, it was not a lot of money.

One of the cooler places that was visited was The Grand Palace, one of the many homes to the beloved King of Thailand:


Walking out I heard one of the best comments of the trip. As we passed an American lady on the way in she turned to a friend she was with and said, “Wow, it’s like Epcot, only real!”

Totals for the day: 1 Foreign Coin
Race Totals: $661.71
