250 Lao Kip= 1 Thai Baht

So what can currency exchange do to a miser in Thailand like me when I go to Laos? A millionnaire! Kip millionnaire, that is.  Since 1 Thai Baht = 250 Laos Kip, I have 1,500,000 kip in my pocket. It's nice for me to know that I have the money....in millions but I pay my hotel room for 75,000 kip for one night!
