Twenty Baht

While we were visiting Ayutthaya a small Thai girl stopped me and wanted me to buy a locust made from a banana leaf.  She put her hands on her hips and told me - "Just Twenty Baht"  when I smiled she stopped, and pulled a twenty Baht bill from her coin purse and said "Just Twenty Baht" She was pretty insistent and also pretty darn cute.










The joy on her face when she was trying to teach me how to make the noise was priceless.  So little means so much to some of the lower class Thai's.  It was the best twenty Baht I spent that day.

Next time I go to Ayutthaya I'm totally going to find that girl. We didn't see any of those, because I'm sure my kids would have wanted one.
