Querentino_Spaghettino Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I wonder what are some opinions on this matter. Is Thailand still cheap to visit now these days? What are some other countries for which the visiting costs might be the same or might be cheaper? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post proton Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Well the expensive wine SHOULD have been a lot cheaper by now as the tax was reduced months ago. The prices are all exactly the same, apart from a few increases! 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pomchop Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 (edited) How long is a piece of string? If you want a cheap time it is readily available in thailand assuming you don't eat much/any western food, stay in small thai style hotels,use local transport like buses bolt skytrain baht buses, and do not hand your atm card to the first cute gal you meet. On the other hand if you want to stay at a five star hotel, eat western food and have a bevy of beauties follow your every move and tell you how hansome you are it can get pricey...but even then still cheaper than a dexluxe vacation most anywhere else in the world.

Popular Post Yagoda Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Solo rates for a typical day/night. Rounded/converted/averaged Decent hotel in a touristy area $40 Average Taxi ride $3 Skytrain/ MRT Ride $2 Pad Krapow on the Street $2 Coffee/ Smoothies $2 Random Mall Food $4 Hotel Buffet with Discount $50 (go for the ones with loads of seafood and meat to increase value) Chinatown Food $10 Tourist Boat $1 Admissions (Wat Arun, Grand Palace etc) $3 a venue People watching free Promo Doobie $7 Gram of the finest (yes I actually saw this in MBK) $30 Gram of US quality $15 Barfine in Nana $17-35 depending on venue I havent given a cost for beer because I dont drink. You can get beat up on booze so be careful. Same with weed, if you are a heavy smoker arrange some in advance. Wholesale is $1-5 a gram, dont buy it outside a store. Girl costs depend on you. Buying lady drinks is a waste. Some folks end up cutting their trip short because some Thai gilr got her claws in the wallet. I gave $40 for a hotel because thats what I pay for my usual. My kid pays $30 over in Silom. I dont lay my head in slums, I have a need for some luxury. When I come in from Cambodia once a month, I budget about $150 a day cash over and above my room. Important tip: Get a room with free breakfast. Dont pay any attention to breakfast critics. The $5 extra a breakfast may cost is PRICELESS when you wake up hungover and ashamed of yourself. All decent hotel breakfasts have a grill station, eggs are eggs and eating a dozen wont hurt even if the steam tray of stir fry for the Chinese looks like puke. Always make sure the breakfast includes the grill station for eggs and omelets, its key. No grill, no stay. If you are really a Cheap Charlie, stuff yourslef at breakfast and you can go all day without food until your paid girlfriend has you sitting on a plastic chair across from Nana Plaza having Pad Thai, probably with the same oil they have been using for the past 30 years. I want a Nana Burger. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Depends entirely on how you want to live, as it does in any country. If you want to stay in top hotels/ apartments and eat western food it will not be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is cheap for those who know Thailand, but your first 3 - 4 holiday trips there you will spend alot more than someone who have lived there for awhile. And if you choose all cheap options, you might be dissapointed, because you get what you pay for. Especially hotels and food. Some love cheap streat food, but personally I will not touch it out of several reasons, but if you really do not care about healthy food, and hygiene, go ahead, and you might find it cheap and delicious. Travelling is really cheap in Thailand, if you know the best options for the best price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
