What can you buy for 1,000 baht in Thailand?

By Dan Cheeseman 

 

 

Let’s start this blog with some exchange rate conversions for you, 1,000 baht converts to £22.68 and US$32.

 

So, just as a bit of fun initially, I posted on my Twitter and Facebook pages asking people what they buy for 1,000 baht. It must have hit a nerve with people as the answers kept coming and coming.

 

Some were silly, others a tad rude (well, I had to expect that) and others were altogether quite insightful and interesting. There was also some differentiation in the answers between platforms, with Facebook proving far more cheeky in it replies gathered than Twitter (so much so I deleted the post afterwards in the name of clean moderation!).

 

So what can you buy?

 

One expat on Twitter from Surin said 1,000 baht is his daily budget. Whereas one of my Thai followers said it would equate to 2 bottles of Australian Shiraz from Wine Connection.

 

Hotel accommodation in Thailand can be great value so many commented that this can a cheap room for the night.

 

Simon from Pattaya said a 1,000 baht gets him a Thai green curry, coconut rice and some beer whilst he can watch the sunset along Pattaya beach.

Rivetting topic.....just can't wait to see the replies. I have no ideas myself?

A portion of rice according to my girlfriend ??

that dan about thailand sure writes a quality bit o' useless fluff

seriously, the entire "article" is about a few responses he got on social media.

what happened to doing research and actually finding a number of cool things you could buy or do for 1000 baht rather than sitting on your ass generating clicks for copy and pasting from twitter.

Think the OP was asking for a bit of fun, not miserable folk replying...

 

Me, 1000bht.....Well if I wave one then eyes open wide with  big smile....

"One expat on Twitter from Surin said 1,000 baht is his daily budget. Whereas one of my Thai followers said it would equate to 2 bottles of Australian Shiraz from Wine Connection."

 

So they both said the same thing, then.

 

I used to budget on 1,000 baht per day, and substantially more per night.

I normally had money left over from the day budget, but not so often the evening.

1000 Baht a day gives you a pretty decent life in Thailand, that is if you're not an alcoholic or wh**e monger.

Glue it to your forehead a walk down Soi 6, 

Exposure to double pricing in any number of establishments

If I had a 1000 baht my wife would relieve me of it immediately and probably buy another handbag to add to her impressive collection.

What? How do 1,000 baht give anybody a nice life? It can buy 17.24 Leos at my shop, or 16,66 boxes of Camel. Or it just disappears in my truck's tank. 

What can you buy for 1,000 baht in Thailand?

 

If you cant't find that out by yourself you should not be here. Close to being the most stupid post this week.
