Massage 200 baht up ok

Massamun curry 170 baht pricey, 30 baht small rice

 

The mini bus from airport is a sham. Have to wait for 10 people. Easier to share cab 800 baht patong.

Why start a thread that will lead to nowhere?

 

"Massage 200 baht up ok"

You didn't read that masseurs are protesting as competition are offering 150 baht for a massage?

 

"Massamun curry 170 baht pricey, 30 baht small rice"

There are many places offering the massamun curry at 120 baht, 20 baht small rice.  There are also places where you can have massaman curry for more than 200 baht.

 

"The mini bus from airport is a sham. Have to wait for 10 people.  Easier to share a cab 800 baht patong".

There is a scheduled aircon bus from the airport to go to Patong that does not have to wait for 10 people.  If you have to take a bus, then sharing a cab is too expensive for you.  Furthermore, you have to search for people to share a cab with.

 

Must be a slow day.

If you have to count your baht, then Phuket is not the place for you to visit.  Should done some research before coming.  Better turn around before you have a heart attack from seeing the prices in Phuket.

Thats not true. Hotels are cheap, flights were cheap, street food is ok.

 

I got a good large room 600 baht.

 

Bangkok taxis are like 250 baht vs 800 baht. Its just out of line.

Not true though. Taxis inflated 200%. Other things not so much. Hotels are cheaper in Phuket than Bangkok. 600 baht room here would be 1000 baht in bkk.

 

 

[Sparktrader]

90% of women here in Patong ugly. 

[Sparktrader]

Basic aircon room ensuite 400 baht

 

Street food 100 baht

7/11 100 baht

2 large beers 110 baht

Massage 200 baht

 

910 baht backpacker budget easy.

Maybe all the lookers have not returned from being taken out over the weekend and took Tuesday off to recuperate so their orifices could return to single lady status.

Phuket taxi price has always been higher than Bangkok.  pointless comparing the two, it is what it is.

Yes the Taxi Mafia makes it expensive.  It is why when I fly I call a friend to pick us up or have the hotel we are staying at send a car.  Most I ever paid for a hotel car was 600 Baht last year when we flew and went to Cape Panwa.

True compared to west. Bkk is very cheap.

 

600 baht room is rather decent. Close to beach, short walk bars.
