Street food 40 baht bargain

used to be able to get a blowie for 50b from bush babies hiding in the bush pratamak hill... Some times they would accept 40 !

[bkk6060]

Go to the Termial 21 top floor food court.  Many dishes for less then 40 b.

Who goes shopping with 40 Baht??? Too pretentious. I never leave the house with more than 10 Baht.

not really a 40b blowie then when you factor in the other miscellaneous costs.

Two thirds of a Magnum ice cream

Way too much to list ... so just some of my regular items (7-11)

... sweet tooth fix at 7-ll;  cheesecake, black forest cake, various pandan or pinapple rolls/puffs/eclairs from 20 & up, but <40

... same with ready made meal for 35-39-40.  Meatier ones 45 & 49.

... the whole single piece ice cream case

... garden salad

... all the toasties (bread or croissant)

... BBQ Bao buns 2 or 3 depending on size

... a crappy can of local beer, is still < 40, I think ... NO THANKS

... Full Moon wine thing, still <40 ?

... I'd be remiss if didn't state, add 2 baht, and get the Double Pork Cheeseburger 

... Chicken curry puffs, where available 10 baht ea, more flavors besides chicken

... coffee/tea, instant or fresh, hot or cold

... pack of bologna

... Royal bread for the bologna sandwich

... some chips to add to it, or on the side

 

Of course street food ... unlimited amount of items, a few notables

... bag of ready made salad

... sweet tooth fix, cakes, donuts, etc

... skewers of various meats, 10 baht & up

... dumplings or gyozas

... prepared take away dishes, or curries in a bag.

... various sliced fruits 20 & up, size dependent

 

Almost a full length ride on the BKK rail lines (BTS/MRT) as i think highest fare is still 45 baht.  That's if you get off and don't simply hop back one, to one station before you boarded, then 15 baht.   Cheap sight seeing without the PM2.5 exhaust.

You can travel 5 times on a red bus in Bangkok. Travel three times in a boat along the Chao Praya River. Not far from my home, they sell pork noodle soup with meatballs, middle size plate costs 20 baht. 12 average-size potatoes at the market. These are just a few things from the long list🙂😁

[SoCal1990]

You'll need to borrow 5 Baht from bob smith.

Just think, any 5 of those in the day, would give you enough substance to live on.

5 X ฿40 = ฿200 X 30 days = ฿6000 monthly food budget.

 

Best part, no dishes to wash 

 

฿3-4k for your room & utilities, and you have a ฿10k a month living budget.

฿10k X 12 = ฿120k a year ... $3350 USD

 

Trying living on that back in the ol' USA 

 

And we need to bring in ฿800k for a retirement visa/extension ...
