You sir are going to have the time of your life, its hard to spend that much but I have done it. Man was it fun. Please be careful and don't flash it just spend it. Have fun I'm jealous of you.  You should also ask of some does and don'ts here,  I don't know Bangkok well but you could get a ton of advice here on TV. Don't let the 1st lady set the hook.

You did research then, cos l ain't in your 'everybody knows'...

Maybe I should have said nearly everyone knows excluding trans. I think if you google chiang mai and pensioner you will have more than enough info

Keeps in mind it has the cheapest housing in Thailand when you consider its also a big town with approx 40000 expats

All joking aside I know guys who spend 10,000 a night on Walking street.

I've done it several times, easy come easy go.

Yes more than enough.  You can eat at some of the best restaurants in Bangkok and have some high class girls every day. Also good whiskey wine and other exotic experiences.  Plenty of money for cultural tours-shooting- days trips with a model/guide who will give you skilled sex and RGFE.

You know you are right about that. I've done it and came up short.

Even worse when you wake the next day and see the sms messages from your bank and discover you made a few visits to the atm during the night !!

Yeah done that to , but usually when I'm that far gone I can't remember my pin #. Really I've forgot several nights. Some times confusion and bad memory works in my favor.

You're out of touch.

 

A girl for the night will take care of over half of that.

 

A few heavy drinking sessions with lots of lady's drinks and a decent restaurant meal will take care of the rest.

 

It's not over the top spending for a guy on a short holiday wanting to really enjoy himself.

 

5000 baht bar tabs are quite commonplace these days. I've been out with friends who notched up a 12,000 baht bar tab in under 2 hours.

 

If the OP is not careful he'll be heading to the ATM to top up.

I didn´t even spend that amount when I lived in Sweden. But ofcourse you could spend 12 000 baht a day depending of what you want to do. Personally I think 2000 Baht for a holliday per day is more normal.

It would be a boring holiday at that budget.

Jeeze MF you must be really bored this PM or maybe just working on a heavy weekend, given some of the things you've come up with today!

 

And we need proof on the 40,000 expats figure and the cheapest housing in Thailand else it's just waffle. Wait, forget the proof, it's just waffle.

 

BTW the city of Chiang Mai is capitalised, just like you capitalised Thailand in your most recent post. My TVF nick is not capitalised purposely, just to be clear what or you are referring to in your posts.

Especially if you are fat, bald, and your extremities are disproportionately short..the bad teeth don't really get a discount, either.  5000 here is crazy and unnecessary.

OK, cheers for that bokningar, seems to work. When i tried this before, i think i was copying the (in this example) '27 minutes ago, bokningar said:' and that was blocking the 'quote this' active box.

 

Again, thanks for that....................

You had the energy to type a whole question asking what it is yet you didn't have enough left to type three letters into Google to find out!

 

Bangkok (mass) Transit System, the sky train et al.

BTW is the skytrain...1 day unlimktrd is 140 THB..I think..3 day subway is 210 THB....MRT subway is a little cheaper....there will be more integration on fares in the future.

Hi all

Very quick question. I will be going to Bangkok in February for fifteen nights. Hotel is payed for. I will be just there to have fun. Is 12000 baht a day enough spending money?

 

Don

 

Absolutely NOT if you find a luxury hotel for 12.500 a day .....

 

For fun only... Depending on your capacities, libido and medical statement.

For a normal hedonism, it should be more than enough even in Bkk

It would be if you came to Thailand to visit temples and drink green tea but that would get old quickly

There is a variety of tea's available. Regular black tea or why not white tea? It can also be had both warm and cold so I cant see how its gonna get old that quickly.

I've found that myself and SOME of my friends have burnt out on the bright lights, frantic activities and noise of the city. I am able to enjoy myself on less than 1,000 baht per day. As mentioned, SOME spend 1,000 baht per hour. Bangkok got scratched off my list of enjoyable destinations when Washington Square was razed. That was the place where all my old friends congregated and where we enjoyed shooting the bull and telling lies. Only memories now.

Yeap..... The 60's are over.....

Glad to be able to help 

Need to have some posts on TV not just taking the piss 

Do you need a farang guide? Just stay away from The "Models" - 3k BF and 5k ST.

Lots of stuffed snapper and smoked sausages I would venture.
