on reflection that OP is a troll / wind up ... there is a lot of DBP (dirty backpackers ) out there - but nobody coudl possibly be that cheap,

adn if they was they wouldn't have all the expensive electrical goods

and the smell DBP also tend to learn 7 words of thai (or whateva the local lingo is ) to prove they had an experience!

btw what do you guys think is the lowest amount of baht you could live on per day reasonably?

Not like the mad fellow in the originaly anecdote that kicked off this thread.....

I reckon you can get by paying about 500 baht a day for a room (personally I'm happier paying about a thousand as there's a big difference). Food is cheap often free brekkie and 1-200 baht for dindins. The rest is beer

20 quid or 1500 baht a day would be adequate...

Must be a masochist!!

KoolJohn74 · 25-01-2006, 08:45 PM

that would be about 15 bottles of beer a day depending on price?

i drink about 3 bottles a month

The travel cheap you got to use on of these in the city..

KoolJohn74 · 30-01-2006, 05:37 PM

What a happy bus that is...

^^
HeHe..just noticed the back to front teak door logo on the back of the bus.

BTW, Over the past couple of days when I quit drinking, I found myself spending about 150 baht a day, 50 on ciggies and the rest for food.

You can make it up at the weekend, mate.

KoolJohn74 · 31-01-2006, 08:03 AM

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....

thrilled · 06-10-2009, 02:36 AM

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

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.

The Fresh Prince · 06-10-2009, 02:57 AM

How much do you spend on each?

This threads nearly 4 years old btw.

The Fresh Prince · 06-10-2009, 03:15 AM

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.

Sdigit · 06-10-2009, 04:19 AM

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

nedwalk · 06-10-2009, 05:06 AM

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
