Can you eat for US $0.05 cents in rural Isaan?
Yes you can, but you must embrace Mama Noodles.
A 30 count box of Mama Noodles is 175 thb.
175 thb / 30 packs = 5.833 thb per package.
So, yes it is possible to eat a meal for close to 5 thb.
However, we do not advocate eating Mama Noodles every meal due to the high sodium content, but if you needed something in your belly and you didn’t have much money, a pack of Mama Noodles can get you through until the next meal.
Just hope the next meal isn’t mama noodles.
