Thankfully im at a stage of life where i can affird to spend a little more
But there are a lot of farang guys paying mortgages etc who cant splurge too often ir are doing it tough , u can have a cheap holiday !!!
But speaking to a guy from the UK last night in a bar he cant affird to come to Thailand every year he comes for 6 weeks every second year
On questioning him he comes over for a month and stays in a hotel paying something like 40,000 b, i suggested he use Airbnb and can get rooms from 5,000 baht a month
In a month excluding airfare he spent 170,000 baht which included the hotel
He gets motorbike taxis everywhere , he eats farang food , he bar offs from bars,he over tips because he has first world guilt that he is not paying enough eg he told me he always paid a mb taxi 120 baht from jomtien to boyztown
Laziness has got a lot to do with it,wont walk anywhere because its too hot etc he told me he was 42 so not that old but can only affird every second year a trip
Get over your first World guilt that you must pay more or tip high , dont bother tipping if u cant afford it and the service was normal
There are tons of way on a long stay to save money there is no need to only come every second year if you plan and research your trip beforehand
