Hey Hey it's Katie here, we have just got back from Thailand and we had an awesome
time! Now Thailand can be as expensive or as
cheap as you want it to be so today I thought I would share some ways to save
money in Thailand.
If you're planning a trip to Thailand make sure you hit subscribe to see more
of our Thailand vlogs. Now let's just jump right in.
Travel in low season. Now we visited Thailand in February and March and it
was a lot cheaper than it would be if we visited in high season. High season in
Thailand runs from November to early February because it is a lot less humid
Avoid the tourist traps now there are a lot of things to see and do in Thailand
but there are also cheaper alternatives that you can do to save more money for
example the Thai islands like Phuket and Koh Samui are very popular islands but they
are also a lot more expensive than the quieter islands such as Koh Chang or Koh
Lanta.
Transport. Now if you are on a real budget get yourself on an overnight bus.
If you prefer to fly, then have a look at AirAsia or Nok Scoot for some budget
airline flights.
Stalls. Always try to buy from stalls that have clearly marked prices if they
don't have clearly marked prices then make sure that you haggle, the same
goes for tuk-tuk drivers. Rent a Motorbike. Now if you are visiting some
of the smaller cities towns or islands in Thailand, then make sure that you rent
a motorbike and explore. This will work out a lot cheaper than the taxis but
also is really fun.
Buses in Bangkok. Now if you're in Bangkok and you want to save some money
catch a bus, they cost twenty baht and they are really easy to navigate. The BTS.
Again if you're in Bangkok you can catch a BTS to get you around most of the city.
It is super easy to understand and it's my favorite way of getting around the
city.
Eat the Local Food. Now I cannot stress this enough.
Eat a local food whilst you are in Thailand, not only is it amazing but it's also
super cheap. So get yourself to a street markets, buy from street vendors and go to
local Thai restaurants to really save some money whilst you are in Thailand.
Drink the local beer. Singha, Chang and Leo are all decent beers and they are
considerably cheaper than the imported beers they have in Thailand. So give them
a try you might be surprised.
Food courts. Now if you aren't keen on eating food from a street vendor or a
street market then head yourself to the top floor of most shopping malls they
all have food courts that are considerably cheaper than most
restaurants. Have fun and enjoy your trip to Thailand. Let us know where you're
