hey everybody as a love you know if you
follow me on social media or if you can
sing any of my recent videos you know
just got back from Thailand I'm now in
New Zealand and as usual I thought I
would run through the expenses of
Thailand now I always say how expensive
is Thailand and the title when Dinkley
for these kind countries I should
probably write how cheap is Thailand
it's probably a bit more fitting we'll
start off with my favourite topic food
and drink in Thailand you're not gonna
go hungry trust me there are street
vendors absolutely everywhere they are
lining the streets just waiting for you
to come back and smell the amazing like
dumplings and wontons and hanging up
ducks or they fly in your face I don't
know what I'm talking about I've had a
very weird morning and I would 100%
recommend you eating off the streets
than 99% of your meals because it's just
where you get the best food and for
something like pad thai or pork and
noodle soup or blood-red pork soup which
is really famous in Thailand then you'll
be looking at paying around 30 to 50
bars and just a conversion 50 baht is
about a pound not too shabby
it comes to water you'll be paying 10
baht for a small bottle and 20 baht for
a large so I mean it's just pennies and
for all you beer drinkers out there if
you go to a bar you'll be looking at
spending between 70 and 120 baht per
pint depending on where you go it is a
very touristy area you are gonna pay
more and it's going to be practically
the same prices as it is in England so
food and drink is so super cheap but
what about the big one
the one thing that drains your budget
accommodation we stayed in three
different kind of places in Thailand and
three very different prices so when we
first got to Bangkok we booked in an
Airbnb apartment it was absolutely
amazing we had our own kitchen bathroom
living area huge double bed huge balcony
on the top floor overlooking Bangkok and
that came in at around 17 pound and
night but that's for both of you of
course you can get cheaper if you want
to stay in a dorm room in ko saing Road
then you'll be paying a few pounds a
night but I'm over hostels
at this point in my life I really over
them I did them in Australia I did them
through Europe I'm over them I meet
BioSpace and especially because I work
from home I need quiet and an area and
Wi-Fi which isn't being used by 500
other people then one got to Chiangmai
we just went and we heard by this
guesthouse we just arrived and when I
find the guesthouse and it was amazing
for a fan room double bed it came in a
450 but which is nine pounds that's four
pound fifty each if you want to go for a
aircon room then I believe there are
around 650 700 baht so only an extra
four pounds two pants each to add on top
per night if you want aircon and we were
lying in bed the first night sweating
with this fan just blowing hot air on us
thinking was this really worth saving
four pounds for I would like no no it's
not and then when we went back for a
night in Bangkok we stayed in a hotel
just cheap hotel we only had half a day
there before we caught our flight over
to Auckland this hotel came in at over
just over 20 pound a night but this
hotel did have a massive like infinity
style pool on the roof so I suppose this
kind of worth it I wouldn't do a
long-term hotels for me don't really
offer much character
I like guest houses or Airbnb places if
you wanna check out hostels go on to
hostel WorldCom and hostels are so so
cheap but be prepared for bedbugs but
that's a whole nother video
transportation okay gang round you've
got a lot of options taxi tuk-tuk train
bus walk or you can hire your own car or
scooter and go through the madness which
is a Bangkok at rush hour
Bangkok taxi prices are some of the
lowest taxi prices in the world make
sure it is metered taxi drivers
understand it's as soon as you open the
door before you even sit down say meter
just say meter if they say no you might
not close the door they are going to rip
you off taxi drivers in Bangkok they
know they're expected to put their meter
on most of them like yep cool meter and
you'll see them put it on me to start at
35 baht and you have to go quite a long
way for it to go up to anything
extravagant you normally get around the
city from
temple to the next or something like
that will cost you about a pound trains
in Bangkok are really cool as well and
we're paying between 30 and 70 baht per
ride depending on how far you were going
so I can't actually give you a price but
it's around a pound one pound fifty
absolutely maximum if you're going one
under the line to the other buses are
also super cheap coming in at nine baths
and it doesn't matter how far you go but
that's only on the non-air-conditioned
ones the air-conditioned ones they
charge you for your distance whereas non
aircon jump our lady comes around you
pay a you know March gives you a ticket
you as far as one on my line and finally
the infamous tuk tuks now if you plan on
getting a tuk tuk you have to haggle
there's no meters and tuk tuks so really
haggle hard for Chiang Mai I can tell
you you should never pay more than 150
baht in a tuk-tuk I think that's what we
were told that was our guideline never
more than 150 but anywhere which is
three pounds though normally we were
paying between fifty and a hundred baths
to go different places or they also have
these huge like bus taxis where you jump
in the back of the van and he'll take
you around and that's super cheap as
well and finally attractions obviously
Thailand is absolutely full of temples
and a lot of them are free win-win
some you may have to pay for for example
when you go and see the reclining Buddha
that's not free and these kind of more
touristy temples the bigger temples the
bigger attractions when they have a lot
of golden Buddha's will be looking to
pay between 50 and 150 baths the most
expensive tourist attraction probably
knowns a man in Thailand is located in
Bangkok and there's the royal palace we
didn't go because we were on a really
strict budget and it is 500 bar which is
10 pounds and after you spent so long
paying 80 pence for your dinner
and then Sean says do you want to go
into this palace for 10 pounds you like
excuse me ten pound lasts me a day
however I really wish we hadn't done it
and I'll definitely be doing you when we
go back to Bangkok apparently the
reviews are just out of this world for
the royal palace so there you go your I
hope you can use those guidelines and
kind of sort our budget for yourself we
didn't end up
not much when you're paying 50 baht a
meal and you eat I three times a day and
bowls of water which is what you're
going to be drinking mainly it's only
ten baht 20 bar as you can see you're
not spending a lot accommodation I'll
see will always be the most expensive
thing you're putting your money to but
our guest house like I said was 450 bar
and it was an amazing guest house and
you can get cheaper if you want but we
kind of like a bit of comfort I don't
mind paying an extra two three pounds a
night because that is the only
difference in these kind of things when
you think of heard it like that I prefer
to pay somewhere they's clean
comfortable great staff got great food
and a swimming pool for example on great
Wi-Fi so you can really enjoy and relax
then save yourself to pound a day and
stay somewhere where it's full of
bedbugs and it's dirty and it's noisy
and it's falling apart and the internet
doesn't work and all this kind of stuff
so just keep that in mind be realistic
is it going to break your bank to have a
little extra comfort okay I've been
