fatter than harry Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Eat your mamma noodles at the computer, in a few days ther'll be enough mamma between the letters on your keyboard for a nice savoury sandwich filling. Go balloon chasing, if asked just say you're 'mates with Steve' Buy an adventure game for your pc, 15 days will pass in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayo Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 You'll be fine... Stock up on water, rice, eggs, and some veg... spend the rest of the remaining nine hundred on beer and cigarettes. Sit inside for 15 days. Or, go to your favorite bar *but I believe you've probly moved far away from that town* and eat and drink on credit.

Soph Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Cheers for the tips guys Some excellent advice, (apart from the katoey bit) So last night I managed to end up at a birthday party in town - free bbq - they even had cheese and pineapple on sticks so that was one day down, 14 to go! Might try the motorbike taxi trick tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) I once blew my remaining monthly budget a few years ago on a toot in Hua Hin and was left having to go through 7 days on 400B. It wasn't easy but I managed it but I had booze in the fridge and enough food to scrape through. After a couple of days I remembered I had a drawer full of small change. I would grab some of this every time I went out and used it to pay the odd amounts over the paper value e.g. when paying 45B I would give the exact money instead of maybe 3 x 20B notes. This way I got rid of my change, avoided looking skint, and also stretched out my limited resources. Shop assistants also seemed to like it and giving the right change earned me a few brownie points but thats another story!! Personally I'd just borrow a couple of thou until payday. I wish I had. Would have saved me a lot of pissing about! Edited November 16, 2005 by ProfessorFart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 1000 baht should be plenty to last you 14 days - I used to do it all the time after I had blown all my wages on booze. At least you won't have the cravings for booze and fags. Bananas and Mama and a Loaf are the way to go. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Bananas maybe 1 bunch a day. 30 baht I loaf - 30 baht Mama pack of 6 - maybe 30 baht. You'll be a bit short by a couple of days - budget! Good luck! I'd lend you 1000 baht.

Soph Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 You are a generous bunch on here guys - thanks for the offers! Just had a setback at lunchtime - went out with the Thai girls and as usual we split the bill, only today they decided to splash out and order some really expensive North Thai dish at 95 baht a go (I ordered cow pat pak!) so that cost me a hundered dont know what this thing was they were eating - it was loads of those dried shrimp mixed with what tasted like a bag of MSG served on rice with a salty egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
