Bangkok makes the list of world's cheapest cities for short break

BANGKOK, 18 June 2015 (NNT) - According to travel ratings site TripAdvisor, Bangkok ranked fourth on the list of world’s cheapest cities for a short holiday break.

The site constructed the list by calculating the cost of a couple taking a three-day break in 40 key tourism cities. Hanoi, Vietnam topped the list of cheapest cities while Cancun, Mexico was ranked the most expensive.

The 27,927 baht cost of a Bangkok holiday break took into account the price of accomodation at a hotel, an activity each day, lunches, dinners with wine and the costs of a three-kilometer trip by taxi to and from dinner each day.

The total cost for Hanoi, meanwhile, is 24,887 baht.

Other cities on the cheapest list include Warsaw, Poland; Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt; Mumbai, India and Lisbon, Portugal.

Yes but they are also striving for Quality tourists and I would image for a quality location, Being in the top 4 cheapest cities to Holiday hardly brings to mind quality, Stop picking arguments and join the dots

Lets see if we can make it off of the first page before someone explains how its not true, but all a big plot by TAT & the government etc.....etc...etc.....

Remember, TAT and TripAdvisor are strategic partners.

For a cheap short-time I would choose Bangkok as well. Great hotels, great value, great times.

Actually, it said cheapest "tourist" city.

Katmandu, Nepal must be 10x cheaper than BKK, but apparently no "tourists" (ie people with more money than sense) go there, ever.

Only your life is cheap in Bangkok

Bangkok makes the list of world's cheapest cities for short time break

So maybe Bangkok would be the cheapest if accounted dinners without wine

Never believe everything, you read on the web!

I thought short time was getting kinda expensive nowadays ;-)

Deleted - double post

These cost of living surveys remind me of airline ratings. If an airline doesn't make the cut, the execs go looking for an organization, and I think sometimes creating their own, that will rate them higher.

Best/cheapest tourist destinations fall in the same category, but I think Bangkok is still great value for money.

All depends upon your flavour....easy to drop 20k on a hotel and 10k on dinner in Bangkok or spend 1000 Baht a day on hotel and food and still have fun.

Bangkok has it all covered which is good.
