Banana roti, B30 any city I go to. Love it! Where else in the world can I get fresh-cooked dessert for $1.00?

What do you love about your day in Thailand today?

12 years a slave in an original 1960's cinema (Scala) for 100 baht

good movie unique environment

Actually, zipped off down the road and bought 2 pieces of watermelon for 66 cents. 20 baht. Could have bought a whole one for 50 if I could be bothered slicing it up.

500 baht (which included a 200 baht tip) for a 2hrs long massage in central Bangkok, in a nice air conditioned community mall.

Nice restaurant, live music, pretty waitress's, fluffy white rice, tom yam gung, chicken dish, fresh fruit salad to finish. Delicious.

Total cost for meal for 2 = 380 baht ! Amazing Thailand !

 

Are you sure you did not pay double price? It seemed to be the norm of complaining here, double pricing.

Well, 500 for two hours Thai massage is almost double price...the real price is 300 for two hours.

Very generouse tip by the way. In the US, they charge $40-$70/h massage, and no happy ending. So your $15 for 2 hours massage was way cheaper!.

60 baht per hour in my neighborhood, but B100 if you want air con.

But not the sort of "girls" you'd even want happy endings from even if they were on offer - which they're not

8-)

However soapy down the road, which is definitely oriented toward that sort of massage is also B100 per hour - but most customers spend a LOT more than that, think management makes most of its profits from the food and drink brought up to the rooms, some guys stay for 5-6 hours, go in large groups too, "party time"!!

Ah, Thainess. . .

Love riding my motorcycle (scooter) to the front of the line (queue) at red lights. Could never do that in America, or at least it would be illegal and might get a ticket.

You are one of those who are responsible for double pricing the falang. Which normal man gives 2£ tip on a 3£ bill? You have to be on low battery

REAL double espresso with sweet milk, 4 donuts, and all the sweet business ladies making eyes at me for B25. Morning is starting out nice :)

Laughing with 10 people because I spilled espresso down my shirt after the vendor put the the drinking hole over the seam of the cup? Priceless. Would have likely been an irate crowd in an American Starbucks wanting me to sue. lol. Mai pen rai.

Nope. Just find a market near an office building. 6am to 6pm. B30 with ice.

He left a B200 TIP!!

I love the street coffee in Bangkok, iced coffee for B15!!!!!!! I can't get enough of it. Or the Mango and Sticky Rice with coconut cream over it for B20 on the way back to the hotel. Street food is heaven.

2 shops... the espresso was 20, the donuts 5. Both made as I watched. I am in more populated, business areas, but in the back neighborhoods, cheaper like you describe.

Strange isn't it, that so many threads end up talking about the size of TIPS !

Fresh oily <deleted> that I wouldn't eat even if you pay me ? Luckily not everywhere !

to the first boy on this topic. How do they spell Kii niao??

I love it - I can get something to eat almost anytime here in Thailand. Day or nite, yummy good stuff - can't do that where I come from.

30baht for Banana Roti, you are being ripped pal, only 20baht in Sukhumvit in Bangers.

Of more interest, Nana Plaza is having a Buy 2 Get 1 special tonight.

Last weeks Buy 3 Get 3 special at Soi Cowboy certainly drummed up some business.

Is this the 'Nine inch Nicky' thread?

I love the 'mookaata' - eat all you want, cook it yourself, includes sweets for 129B which is walking distance from my house in a country town. I also love the daily, freshly cooked food I get from the market at 25B a serving - usually spend about 100B a day = 3,400B p/m so my pension sure goes a long way. I also have an electricity bill of about 300B p/m so I am a very happy bloke living in Northern Thailand - weather also good and no 'shut downs' eithercheesy.gif gotta love it

As many posts have referred to tipping, all the Thais I know fail to tip anywhere! I have often been surprised!
