$62.47, according to xe.com, but close enough. Caveat emptor, as always.

Ahh, but as I recall from my extended visits to Thailand during the
less-than-recent unpleasantness that the US was involved in, the
post-prandial activities available to the discerning tourist were
extensive, inexpensive and sublime.

Details no longer available due to encroaching age and a concerned
spouse.
