Thread: Touring Thailand on 250 baht per day.

You can make it up at the weekend, mate.

1.50 a day on food is pretty cheap if u ask me.

& if your renting somewhere outside of the main hotspots you could probably get a nice place for 3-4k & your bills would roughly be the same with a phone & internet.

That's not much more per day than the 250baht a day cheapskate....

I average about 1000 baht A day no problem.Hotel,food transportation,and companionship.

How much do you spend on each?

This threads nearly 4 years old btw.

How the heck do you get all that and a fuck out of b1000 a day?
I wanna know your secrete

When i first came here traveling about 7 years ago I got by on 1000bt a day but only because it was coming to the end of my travels and money was running out.

Room 250bt (in Koh San)
A Bangkok Post 20bt
2 meals at about 100bt each
A small bottle of Sang Som in the evening
And the rest on a couple of beers in Gullivers before bed

It wasn't much fun.

There's no way I could do that now but at the time I was looking for a job so had to make the money last.

No it dosen't sound any fun, I cound maybe struggle by on b2000 a day

i work to play so i don,t pinch me pennies,i might spend 1k one day then it might be 10 haveing a blinder, i suppose its all relative

excuse me but... beachroad whore st 500 baht , food 200 baht , transportation on foot, that leaves just 300 baht for a hovel ....the 1,000 baht/day budget is feasible only if you own your small condo and therefore pay no rent but only utilities.

I tend to agreed. What is the saying, "I rather live a year as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. "

Never heard that saying before but I love it!

That is a new angle and a fantastic idea. Everyone gets something. Well... unless she looks like this:

Must be a masochist!!
