Encore Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 To reduce cost, skip BKK, come to Pattaya. I think comparable hotels are cheaper here Standard ST in Soi 6 700+300BFincRoom = 1000 Cosonut Bar (BeachRoad FL) ST 500 + 100 Room = 600 LT: I have gotten into a routine of spending evening playing in Gogo, but after that BF a BB girl for LT, BF 300 + 1200 LT. Beats the Gogo 600BF + 2000 LT average. I agree about 6K US is doable, but 9K US more elbow room and fun. Fun includes tips and LD, that can mount up.

Savittre Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Many thanks for all your valuable input, guys! Hotels in Bangkok are more expensive than in Pattaya, but this is my friend's first visit, so Bangkok is a must for several good reasons~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encore Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I just finished reading a report by "oneday" on Pattaya secrets. He did 43 days in mainly pattaya, his cost: Avg daily expense $121 rounded Hotel expense $17 a day Daily expense minus hotel $104 From what I can remember from his very long report, he got laid at least twice a day, but didn't spend too much time at Gogo bars. http://www.pattayasecrets.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44476&st=300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 ...., but this is my friend's first visit, so Bangkok is a must for several good reasons~ You could make a long list of reasons to go to Bangkok and not Pattaya.

The_Munchmaster Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've just come back from 16 days in Bangkok. My total spend excluding airfare was Baht 107,000 i.e., Baht 6,700 or about $200 a day. That did not include any barfines or payments for sex.

HeartThais Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 My intended budget: hotel: 50/day drink/food: 60/day barfine: 20/day girl: 50/day My actual spend: hotel: $70/day drink/food: $100/day Barfine: $20/day Girl: $100/day Random excursions/expenses: $2000/month Adds up to about $10k/month If it is his first trip to LOS, I bet your friend chews through $9k in the beginning of week 4.

buddha Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I could have a kick ass 3 month stay for less than $4000 USD [plane ticket included]. Who wants to bet me $4000 USD that I cannot? We could use escrow.com to hold the monies. I would detail every aspect of my visit on thai360 daily. 10k for a month? That is reeeeeeee-dick-ulous. I would venture to say that I would have a more interesting time of it on the 4k budget than the 10k budget. Any takers? Probably not...well let the naysaying 'non-put your money where your mouth is' commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ok, Mr. B... Figure 34 B = $1 USD, to make the math easy for me... Plane ticket, use your air mile? or a cheapie, from the US west coast: $800 Hotel, one month, 6,000 B (cheapie on Suk, Soi 97) = $176.47 X 3 = $529.41 Taxi, bus, BTS, estimate = 6,000 = $176.47 Food, 200B/day X 90 days = 18,000 > $529.41 So far, $2035.29 and you can eat and sleep here. The adult beverages, lady overnight expenses, that may vary a bit but looks very possible to survive in LOS for three months on $4000 USD and have some fun.

Encore Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Survive, maybe. But only $ 2000 left over for play money? $22/day? 22x34= 748 baht per day. Can get you one ST on Beach Road, that's all. not what'd call 'kick ass' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 yes but you guys just don't get it like I do. Seriously. I think I could have a better time on 4k than most people could for 10k. I have neither taken a girl from beach road nor experienced that place for more than a 60 second jaunt to buy cigarettes in a 7-11. I actually can't remember ever being on beach road. My 4k would be spent moving about thailand and meeting interesting people....unlike sullying 10k into the mouths of whores and bar owners. Sure there would be some stops in bkk, pattaya, etc but just because you pay more doesn't mean it's more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
