How much spending money for 12 days in Bangkok and pattaya

[tryasimight]

I spent roughly 4000 euros six years ago.  Ten days in  Jomtien, Pattaya and eight days in Rawai,  Phuket.no fancy restaurants or anything else.  Just full on party time. 

The first few days I was clueless as to the delights on offer. 

I reckon, with inflation,  you'll do OK with 6000 euros.

I could have a grrrreat time for 2.5k euro and have a fair bit left over.

 

My thing is to start each day with about 4-5K baht in the pocket, never falls short.

 

I buy lady drinks only for a confirmed target, not for mama sans, girls' friends and no ringing the bell.

 

4-5 K covers modest, yummy meals, daytime pleasure and a LT at night.

 

Punters are paying anything the girls ask these days....softie millennial crap.

 

Just bear in mind....the average barfine should be 300-350b.

 

ST average is 500-700 in pattaya.....LT 1000-1500 (in bkk I never go above 1.5K LT)

 

There are those who go to a flash gogo and pay 700b barfine and 5K for two rounds of action

with a sexy yet mercenary performer.

 

The no 1 rule is never never never let a thai woman see ur cards....never say you are there for the first time.

 

They will take u to the cleaners....and then dry-clean you as well.

 

If ur in bkk then u r an expat from chiangmai...and so on.

 

To each his own but i prefer 30+ women to a 20+ "spinner"

 

 

 

 

i guess its been a while since you've had a LT in Bangkok

A fool and his money are easily parted lol

I think there is where you miss the point. It's only money; and although I am not rich, I have enough to treat me and mine very well.

median household income for a Thai household is about 28,000 per month, but if you really want to be a jackass, the sky is the limit.  Perhaps, rent a Jetski, and show the world you can make air, water, and noise pollution..all at the same time, while on vacation.  And if you still are having a short guy complex, plenty of roid heads around there will set you up. I hear the boxed red wines are excellent...March was a good month.

No offense meant. But I would hate to see the girls you choose to frequent with. I know Pattaya very very well and at those prices you really are getting someone at the lower end of whats on offer in Pattaya. Each to his own I suppose.

 

It is common for someone who has been brainwashed by a certain pattaya sex forum run by soi 6 bar managers to say stuff

like you just did.

There worth what they can get

[moontang]

As far as giving money to the girls....1000 is too much; a million is not enough.

With 2500€ you will have a roughly 8500b (220€) per day, should be enough unless you intend to go crazy every night.

 

Realistically, and if you only pay for yourself, 1500b for food per day is enough - 200b for breakfast, 400 lunch, and a decent dinner 500-900b with drinks. I personally eat all meals out, sometimes thai, sometimes western, and rarely spend more than 1000b per day on food. I think average is closer to 600b.

 

Lets say 2000-3000b for drinks - cheap bars will be 100b per beer/drink, expensive bars/clubs 300b. Let's say average 200b so this would mean 10-15 drinks per night, that should at least get you buzzed.

 

This still leaves you with +4000b per day for other activites ?  In my opinion it is more than enough, you could have a full service massage and LT every day.

 

In Bangkok you will probably spend 300-400b per day on getting around. In Pattaya not so much, mostly walkable or can use the 10b songthews.

Yep ... why I like women over 40 ... they don't yell ... they don't tell ... and theyre as grateful as hell ...

Cheers pal. I'm a cheap bastard when it come s to drink so I will probably hit a 7/11 for a afew beers before heading out. Kind of regretting I didn't book pattaya for longer now.

You'll be fine on that budget. Lots of overestimates on costs given here, especially given that your hotel is booked. That means you might have a free breakfast for starters, all sorts of lunchtime deals are available in the pubs and restaurants, and generous daytime happy hours there. If you want to eat the local food it's way cheaper (and less heavy on the palate in the hot climate) and it's way better than the food you'll find in Thai restaurants in the west. In the bar scene many places run happy hour to around 9 or 10pm. Keep an eye out for drink scams and ward off the freeloaders. 

 

Bring your money in foreign currency, don't change it before you leave as rates are lousy. Similarly don't change up much when you arrive at the airport, best rates are downtown at places like SuperRich or Vasu exchange in Bkk, or the yellow TT booths in Pattaya. Unless you've got a pile of luggage take the airport link into the city. Tell taxis to use the meter, and take the big bus from Ekammai to Pattaya, only 100 baht, more spacious and better views than a taxi. Many ways of keeping the costs down, but really you have enough money to have a blast.

• Depends on your age, stamina, and personality
• I would say - for ten days - $500+ a day, all in, cause  if this is a single mans vacation of a lifetime, think Hangover III, then you will need it and more.  Travelers cheques are best, when, not if, when, they get stolen, they are insured.
• this is if you are a sex pat tourist...........now if you are a sight seeing tourist???  $200 a day is plenty, and I mean plenty, but if you are going the Rock Star route  $500 a day is minimum.  Bring some friends  have FUN!!

[Different]

2500 pound is more than enough to enjoy 12 days, you will be spending at least 8000 baht a day.

Go for it.

I assume to get to that figure you are including all the rich people in Bangkok. The net income of a real Thai family in the village is far less. Much more like 8000 - 10000.

20,000 baht a day, whilst on holiday is outrageous !!! I wouldn't spend that living in Thailand but if I was coming on a holiday, to have fun, go on tours, shopping, girls etc ??

Damn right, why would you be a penny pincher on holiday !! Here to have fun not budget for a rainy day ?

For food, drinks etc me my wife, my mother in law need about that for food and drinks only with shopping at lotus, 7-eleven and big c.

In Europe with a 2 person family 250 euro a month is already more then most people can afford. So I totally thing the guy posting the question is a moron.

Can I assume you actually know what "median" is?

€500 a day is crazy money. I'll be sticking to sight seeing and budget €600 for fun times if ya get me. So €1900 should be enough for food attractions and shopping

Depends on what you do, doesn't it?  A decent dinner for two in an upscale Thai or Western restaurant can cost upwards of B5K, maybe B5k more if you have a couple bottles of good wine and a coffee and cognac or two afterwards. If you paid for your dinner companion, add another 3-5K. If you go bar hopping with her afterward; well, there you go and you haven't paid for breakfast, lunch, or a few afternoon beers. Holiday partying is not day to day living on the cheap.  

breaking news: he doesnt cum to thailand to vine & dine his to-be hi-so wife, he will eat some basic meal and spend the rest on beer

in a go-go, and some hookers

cognac my arse, maybe to smoothen some mosquito bite,

but its beer that matters.

i had a good time drinking for 2k a day,

i dont think many can consume that amount

Please don't advise the lad to bring Travelers cheques that are far inferior to a debit card in terms of ease of use.

I'm bringing two bank cards and cash ? 

[tifino]

bringing along THAI wife is a big variable factor for how long the money lasts....

 

... the variable being; how many visits has she planned, to the relatives?

Smart move.   

 

You're two steps ahead of the average traveler.

poanoi, I have heard your rustic song before. I wouldn't expect you to enjoy any more than the basics. However, some people enjoy more than beer and bologna.

Partying

 

500 Euros a days is easily spent, thats after hotels etc just play money! especially when girls and their drinks are involved  ?

 

It aint cheap here any more just been in Bangkok for 2 days ( i live in the sticks ).......so i know

I'm only 19 but have been to Amsterdam 4 times in the last 2 years. Usually spend around 800 for a week there. Surely Bangkok is cheaper. If I budget 400b for lady drink and my drink in gogo bar and 3-4000b for short time maybe 3-4 times during my trip. I'm not a big eater so street food and shopping food court is good. And I'll pre drink vodka or beer from supermarket. Taxi to pattaya and taxi to lopburi and ayyatuya are my big expenses. The rest is shopping and local attractions and fishing. €2500 should be good enough

here is his request for info:

[ Staying in Bangkok for 7 nights and pattaya 4 nights. Will be out partying most nights in well known areas and bringing girls back a couple of nights, maybe 4 nights as I'll be exhausted ]

 

does this boy sounds like he is even remotely

interested in wining & dining teaching a bar girl

how to swallow cognac for 5000 baht an evening ?

 

or does he sound like he wants to take her

to a short time room and pay 1000 baht tops ?

reading between the lines,

he will do his very best on finding the cheapest prostitutes in the world,

and drink some beer at the same time

 

where ever did you find the reason to bring cognac into the equation ?

its like adding pi when calculating squares
