$$Costing Tips Thailand is very cheap, though the north is far cheaper than Bangkok and the southern islands. You can find cheap guesthouses for as little 300 THB per night in cities and 200 THB per night in the countryside, though in the big cities like Chiang Mai and Bangkok, rooms start at about 400 per night. On the islands or for a nicer room with air-conditioner, expect to pay 600 THB and up per night.
FOOD🔛: Food is really cheap in Thailand. Street food costs as little as 20 THB, though on average you’ll spend about 35-50 THB per meal if you want something really filling. If you stick to the local street food, you can eat for around 120-170 THB a day. Most western dishes (burgers, pizza, pasta, etc) cost between 170-340 THB, though they can be higher in the fancier western establishments.
TRANSPORTATION➦– Like everything in Thailand, transportation is also cheap. Local buses cost as little as 8 THB per trip, the Metro and Skytrain in Bangkok cost 15-50 THB per trip and metered taxi rides are usually 60-100 THB each. Tuk-tuks are un-metered and generally more expensive, costing 100-235 THB per ride.
I too have wanted to visit Thailand. Although how is the money converted there? How much USD would it be for say 8 THB? It would be so awesome to see everything there and try the foods too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I was hoping to travel to Thailand next summer so its good to know how much I should expect to be spending on basic necessities such as housing, food, and transportation. Isn't it awesome how cheap things are there? It would be extremely nice to travel there and live like royalty.
