Thailand was my first destination outside Europe and North America. Based on the wise advice of my friends experience in Thailand, I was sure that this paradise vacation would turn out ridiculous charges are carried out. But back home, I realized too late that during my little Thailand adventure I have spent almost as much money as one of my regular fluctuations in Europe. If I only knew that they can carefully plan your trip to Thailand in large savings. L 'The following list includes some solid advice that will help visitors to Thailand beginner can save significant amounts of money and still enjoy your vacation:
Season 1 choice .. trip to the islands in Thailand during the low season you can save up to 25% of the cost of accommodation (up to $ 25 per bungalow per night if you choose a high level - not luxury - accommodation). As in many other places, the world is based on seasonal work, there is a significant price fluctuationsmore seasons. No less important is the fact that the climate in Thailand is very pleasant even during the low season. Temperature "difference between the" hot season "and" high season "is miniscule, and during the" rainy season "can only be an experience of occasional light rain. Therefore, a cost structure of Thailand, avoiding the season without the price less than the suffering unbearably cold and dealing with endless monsoon.
Transportation seconds.Bangkok before arrival in the islands of the South by train or bus instead of plane can save up to $ 80 per trip. You can use a bundle if you arrive at night in Bangkok International Airport. In this case, you save not only the gap between the expensive and relatively cheap ticket train or bus, the first night and costs ($ 40 - $ 100 per night for bungalow in the standard - not luxury - accommodation).
Third food.In western style, the more you pay for your dinner, the better, so everyone can make a personal decision of a reasonable cost - benefit ratio. In Thailand, particularly in the southern islands, is much simpler: in most cases, the cheaper the better. expensive restaurants in Thailand Islands usually specialize on Western food that is neither faith nor of superior taste, a standard dinner costs € 10 - $ 30 in a restaurant of this kindAlternatively, the dinner at a cheap restaurant with plastic chairs cost $ 3 - $ 8, and is usually so pleasant and genuine. My most disappointing Thai dinner was served in a fancy restaurant in Bangkok and had cost $ 120 for a couple, while my best Koh Phangan dinner was served in a cheap restaurant in the family. The owner - a young mother named Mam - prepared the meal for us exactly as we wanted and we pay a measly $ 5-6 per person.
air conditioning fourth.The presence of air conditioning in the room can book a big difference in the property. For example, the same rate in the same village from 15 $ -30 $ for a bungalow with a fan for $ 40 per can - $ 100 for an air-conditioned cabins. Although the choice of a room with air conditioning during hot weather (for example, from March to April) is crucial if you want to visit southern Thailand during the rainy season - a bungalow fan can both satisfy your needs and cut spending more than oneHalf.
fifth choice. similar to the world, rather than principle in most places where the housing prices in Thailand Islands depend on the choice of location. The bungalow on the main beach, close to 'airport or the harbor full of night life is probably twice as expensive in the same bungalow in a quiet secluded beach. However, accessibility is a problem in the islands of Thailand and the taxi fares and taxi boat fares operate under the same principle ofOvernight interest rates. So there is a rule you can take: If you are looking for social activities and stay close to the nightlife of the port or airport, or do a little effort and move after you arrive on a remote beach. You can save up to 60% discount on accommodation in this way.
Sixth communication. Probably will not be a complete shock, but the use of the phone outside of Thailand could be extremely expensive. To save on communication costsor cell phone with local prepaid SIM card or use the phone and internet services center. Mind you, that can vary the costs of such services. As usual, if you call abroad from your office holiday - there will be more expensive than a call center in the city. The cheapest option is probably to give your phone number, your friends and relatives abroad, as each call center has a phone number that can be used for a callback.
Seventh Prize hearing.In tourist resorts in Thailand is negotiating a necessity or a way of life. Similarly, in the less touristy islands and territories also accept price negotiation. Trial - in Thailand price negotiation is not considered an embarrassing behavior, so you have nothing to lose.
psychology 8. Although more can be perceived in Thailand to be cheaper than in your country is not fooled by low prices and seemingly control your spending. The purchase of a huge amount ofinexpensive things can really up to surprisingly large sum of money.
In my last visit to Thailand, I followed these guidelines, with perseverance and I was happy to report that to travel in Thailand for more than a simple economic problem, it can be fun. Interestingly, Thailand, spend less - the closest authentic local experience.
