Cheap barbers

[bignok]

Any cheap barbers in Bangkok? Cant find any on google. Crazy prices.

[mfd101]

Go where the locals go, not where the tourists & the rich people go.

 

PS: The locals won't be on Google.

Try looking and searching in Bangkok!

I do not believe that the city of google is anywhere your stratosphere!

The cheapest barbers when I lived in Bangkok averaged 400 or 500 baht.  The majority of the customers were locals.  
Of course it depends what someone defines as expensive or cheap

Costs 50 baht to get a good cut where I live. The man or woman spends a lot of time, including using a razor on the neck. Sorry it's an 8 hour drive from Bangkok.

NO because the reason tht most barbers are sharging so much is that they hve to pay higher rents.  Come out to places outside the city where it is cheaper to live and 100 baht haircuts is the norm and there is nothing wrong with them.

In Sisaket province, everyone I've ever talked to says it's been 30-50 baht all along.

Doesn't take a whole lot of talent to cut hair, as I, untrained, use to cut hair of friends.

 

That they started wearing hats was a bit strange ????

Best haircut in Thailand used to be on Patpong 1 at Takara.  Haircut, shower, massage with very happy ending all for 2000 baht in 97

Soi 13, next to The Miami Hotel. Nice old little shop. 300 baht.

 

Solid brit pub down the soi too. You can order in a curry from next door.

[brotherother]

My go-to was Lek Barber on Sukhumvit soi 23, just before soi Cowboy.

 

Hard for them to mess up though as I'd only ever get a head shave.

 

Good luck.

As has been suggested go where the locals go. Keep away from the downtown tourist areas. I pay 120 baht for a decent cut. There are a number of barbers in Phrakanong & Onnut.  

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

I pay 100 baht at the local barber. 

 

My son complained that the last time he went to that barber, he got a bad haircut.

 

That's nothing. I get a bad haircut every time I go.

 

But for 100 baht, there's really no such thing as a bad haircut.

[lagarto]

I found a barber shop by accident 23 years ago. Still going there despite the fact that the price of a haircut went up from 60 baht to 150 baht, and the guy who still cuts my hair, years ago cut right into the collar of my shirt...

Here in Prasat Surin the price is still 60 or 70฿ but I give him 100.

Soi Setthi Thai Sap between Sukhumvit 16 and 22. On Sukhumvit 22 there is a barber shop that has been in the same location for 30 years or more, cost is about 100 Baht, Easy Cut has many locations - cost is 150 Baht. There are many barber shops even in expensive areas that have survived with the cost in some ass low as 60 Baht.
