Popular Post thailiketoo Posted July 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Just a small note about the title. The topic is cheap fun in Thailand not the UK or USA. If you (you know who you are) want to write about cheap fun in the USA or UK open your own thread; this one is about cheap fun (not illegal or bad activities) in Thailand. The movies are cheap and the theaters are usually new and the seating comfortable. Mall watching. The malls are crowded with people usually new and fun to see the young girls on the hunt for a boyfriend. Family convenience stores usually have a couple of tables in front or to the side and one can buy a cheap large bottle of beer or soda and watch the girls on the motorbikes ride by. The ladies sit side saddle to make this almost a national Thai pastime. Health fares at the hospital or mall. Get a check up for free or almost free and meet some new nurses. Buy a concrete drill at Home Pro. I met 6 cute sales women (one girl gives you to another and so on) as we wandered all around the store before I was handed off to one old guy who knew there the drill was. Watch elephants at the beach. I live close enough to the beach to walk but I ride my scooter because the cops don't hang there and I like riding a scooter at the beach. I ride up and down till I find a spot there elephants are likely and take in some sun till the big fellas ramble along. Take movies at the daily markets. Talat knot. Or Delat not, are daily markets that occur a couple of times a week in most cities around Thailand. I pretend I'm talking on my phone and make movies as I walk along. I guess one could make movies of anything in Thailand using this phone talking ruse. If anyone knows a good free editing program feel free to list it.

mrtoad Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Relatively Thailand is still cheap, hotels are cheap and good value. I've been travelling g the last week, with some holiday and also work. Domestic flights are still good value other than on my route to Bangkok, but that's as it is a Bangkok Airway only route. Can still eat out cheap, movies cheap, taxis are cheap. I can fill my car up with petrol for just over 2000 baht that's cheap. I live overlooking the sea and five minutes from a nice beach, can hang out the for next to nothing other tan a few plates of food and a few drinks. The list goes on to be honest, although you can pay premium prices to in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Costas2008 Posted July 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2014 OP, seems to me, you are too much into watching young girls go by. Yes, this is a cheap way to entertain yourself, the problem is when you get them starts getting expensive, Anyway, how can I complain, this country gives me so many things I can afford on my measly pension. Even got a new shirt from Pratunam, the other day.......99Baht. Let's hope the Baht keeps going down, so I can buy some underwear next time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailiketoo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thats kinda creepy that you like to take vids whilst pretending to be on the phone. Most of the great photographs taken in the world are candid. Taken by a photographer the captures people doing what they normally do while not being posed. Great photography is a photo or a video that is not posed and phony and staged. I find you creepy for trying to flame me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nothing To Do by Shel Silverstein Nothing to do? Nothing to do? Put some mustard in your shoe, Fill your pockets full of soot, Drive a nail into your foot, Put some sugar in your hair, Place your toys upon the stair, Smear some jelly on the latch, Eat some mud and strike a match, Draw a picture on the wall, Roll some marbles down the hall, Pour some ink in daddy's cap -- Now go upstairs and take a nap.

thailiketoo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Note to future posters. I don't think discussing cheap things to do in Thailand is a bad topic. If you do don't post in this thread.

bkkden Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 There are so many very nice places to go for short journeys and as one comment said, hotels are not expensive. If you have interest in the culture, history, etc you can always find interesting things to do and enjoy that don't cost a lot of money. If you can speak some language and open your self up you will find how nice the people are as well!! Part of the charm of this lovely country!

Lol, probably a far more interesting life than you. Eating from 7-11 and living in a Thai style hovel don't interest me. I can throw in all the other bits too, such as golf, cricket and football. Travel around the region, etc, etc I'm pretty happy with my life, maybe you aren't. Book a therapy slot with Dr Will.

thailiketoo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Taking photos in Thailand is great cheap fun. I'm thinking about buying a better camera smart phone to help me do this. The Nokia 1020 seems to be the one. 41 mega pixels wow. You can zoom with a crop. And the video looks great. Most of the Thai people I know like to have photos taken. Get out a camera and they start doing funny things. I think if you are in a public place you are liable to have your photo taken within reason (No Public restrooms or places like that). With the new technology point and shoot phones have gained incredible sharpness. It is fun watching ladies jump when picking out live lobster or crabs. I don't know if Thailand has any laws that would prevent shooting photos in public. I don't think so. With the advent of google glasses and small cameras and mobile phone cameras it would be useless to protest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
