so
one two three
hello everyone and welcome back again into another vlog from live love thailand
lately lots of subscribers and viewers were asking me how much money you need
to spend these days in thailand or maybe how much a vacation costs in thailand
as you know lately there are many extra costs and requirements in order to enter
besides the money that you will spend while you are enjoying your vacation
in our terms we have asked in the community post what is the most thing that you spend money on
while you are in thailand and we got a quiet idea from your answers on what mostly you are spending
on because it has a lot to do with how much money you need and how much you could spend depending on
your preferences so in this vlog we are going to talk about each one of them and at the end
try to generalize and give you an idea about the budget you may spend while you are in thailand
now here before we start our vlog let us clear that we are not talking about the extra expenses
that you should spend these days because of the extra requirements
that you are paying lately to enter thailand we have made a clear vlog about that and as a
summary we said that you are spending between 500 into 1 000 as an extra cost paid for entry
requirements before you start your vacation so now let us start with the basic expenses
of course the first thing in mind should be your hotel booking or any kind of accommodation that
you prefer to stay in now this was not one of the options in our community poll but according to the
comments not a lot of spenders on that hence most of the hotels in thailand especially these days
are budget friendly and range could be between 20 to 40 dollars per night including breakfast
10 days stay will not cost you more than 400
or even much less lately i have booked a five-star hotel in downtown bangkok
only for 30 per night including breakfast if you search i am sure you will find many luxury hotels
that fits your budget so hotels are not the most thing that people spend these days in thailand
according to our poll sims food is the second most thing that people spend on in thailand and
that is obvious because you are in a vacation and you are in thailand and of course you won't resist
the local spicy thai dishes that are served on the streets food courts or the famous restaurants now
here i want to clarify something so that you may know how much you could spend on food in thailand
if you go local and love thai street food visit night markets famous street food areas
like chinatown or maybe siloam then i am sure you will not spend a lot since a dish will not
cost you more than three dollars so you can spend all day eating in such local places
without even spending 20 per day which means on average 50 a day will be your budget where in
10 days you may not spend more than 200 on food again this budget is possible if you stay local
now if you are not into street food and you love to eat in international restaurants or maybe fast
food just like you are at home then bring up your budget because a burger meal could cost
you between six to ten dollars or maybe a pizza for 15 and if you love the fancy restaurants
then a lunch or a dinner will be not less than 20 this goes also for your coffees or snacks where
you may pay a 10 for a creamy mug it's costly but worthy since you are enjoying the best change so
all in all if you go international then you may spend more than 50 dollars daily on your meals
so keep that in mind unless you make a balance between local and international
now before we jump into shopping let me tell you that transportation is also one of the expenses
that you should take into consideration when you are in thailand especially if you move a lot
you could spend daily a 10 if not more on your daily trips between malls markets hotels
restaurants and using the public transportation in the capital could save a lot of time and money
now here you should always check what is the best way for you to move in the capital or the islands
since if you choose the wrong transportation you may lose your day and your money so be wise
on average as we said you may spend ten dollars per day and that should be the reasonable budget
if you are spending more than that then you are not using the best ways of transportations
for example a motorbike ride could cost you 300 but if you don't know where you
are going or how much you should pay so always ask and you will pay less
according to our community poll seems shopping also not the most ones spent on in thailand
hence less than 10 percent voted on that although thailand specially bangkok
known as shopping heaven to everyone whatever you are looking for you will find there
from copy items into international original brands
and much much more but here again your budget will vary according on your preferences
if you go for local brands and tie items and if you are good in bargaining you may buy lots
of items which are less than three dollars but as i said if you are good in bargaining if not
well then you may pay four times more than the price so keep that in mind
if you are there for international brands then you may pay more than what you pay in your own country
so not that much attracting prices when you are buying original brands all in all depends on your
choices but as i said i am sure you will find a lot of things that you might love to bring
it back with your home but on average you may spend two to five hundred dollars on shopping
now tours and trips are also essential in your daily budget
if you are especially first time in thailand the average tours are between 500 to 2000 baht per
trip and again you should know from where to book and how much to pay in order not to spend extra
but on average in 10 days trip you may spend three to four hundred dollars on tours
and i am sure it's very essential if it's your first time in thailand
here we come to the massage sessions before we talk about nightlife you are in thailand
and massage sessions could be one of your daily expenses but fortunately they are so cheap and the
session of one hour would not cost you more than six dollars but if you like luxury experiences
then you may pay more than 100 for a session but in general you may spend maximum a 100 on
massage sessions in 10 days which is so cheap go for it and enjoy them unless you would regret it
finally according to our community poll the most spent on in thailand is the nightlife
well since our subscribers and viewers love to party
so nightlife is the most thing that people spend when they are in thailand here your
budget could vary a lot because there is a huge difference according on what you are looking for
if you are not into that much nightlife and you love some beers visiting walking streets
have some good company dancing maybe visiting nightclubs and bars playing some pool then
your budget could be 10 to 30 dollars per night and you will have fun and enjoy lots
of things so all in all you won't spend more than 300 on nightlife for a 10 days vacation
now if you are a party lover and you like to pump it up till the morning light
then make your wallet fat since if you are going to spend between red light districts
go go bars vip nights and more and even if you want to enjoy lots of nice company
then the sky is the limit and you are in thailand so as much as you pay as much as you get there is
no limit for spending and here you may spend a whole budget alone on nightlife and you know
what i'm talking about so it's all up to you if you are ready to pay then you may see the stars
as you see it all depends on you and what are your preferences where you may have a budget vacation
spending one thousand dollars in 10 days or if you want to go wild then you may spend more than four
to five thousand dollars but the best part of it whatever you spend you will enjoy your vacation
