Dollar Menu

Eating out in Bangkok is a favorite pastime of our Northwestern team!  Every Friday they are given a weekly allowance for food, transport, and incidentals.  Their Thai students love to go out to eat before or after class, and they really like going with their American friends because it gives them a chance to practice English more, and also because they are very friendly and sociable.  They fan out to various small restaurants, food stalls, and even mall food courts for delicious and inexpensive meals. Most dishes consist of either noodles or rice with seemingly endless possible combinations of meats, vegetables, broth, and seasonings.  Delicious iced coffees and fresh fruit smoothies cost between 50 cents and a dollar.   Here's a sampling of what the equivalent of one U.S. dollar can buy here:
