'We used to spend around 200 baht for a pot of soup for the whole family, but now we spend at least 250 baht for the same amount," says Nantiya Thongsuk, 13.
Nantiya, known as Namwan, is in eighth grade and the second child of the family. After school most afternoons, she goes to a nearby market to pick up ingredients for dinner. It is one of the few things she can do to help her family and lately it has started to feel like a losing battle.
Fifty baht may not sound like much, but for Namwan's family, it's the difference between eating or going hungry.
