Thailand:is 4500 baht per day enough?

>>1136920
That should be more than enough... you could even drink a bit (or a lot, if you're OK with local rotgut 'whisky' purchased from convenience stores). Fancy bars or nightclubs are beyond your range, but most other places will not be.

It's possible to eat well on the street for less than THB200/day. Restaurants will be more, obviously. But you have room.

Tourist attractions vary but are rarely expensive--a few hundred tops, usually less.

Local transport is cheap--most I've ever spent on a cab was a bit less than THB400, and it should be even less for normal excursions (this was from central BKK way out to the Nonthaburi suburbs--took at least an hour).

The ladyboy escorts are your biggest variable. It's not my scene, but the few times I've spent time with go-go girls I've definitely laid out at least THB3000 all-in. Most girls will ask for two grand short-time; this is obviously negotiable, but it's always seemed disgusting to me to bargain too hard (although there is a whole culture seemingly devoted to ripping off hookers, which you will readily find online).

Thanks for the tips.
Almost all my hotels are booked with all you can eat breakfast so I will gorge on that to save money.
Only one without the option is in Pattaya where I am for 3 days.But I already found a local Thai fast food joint with good tripadvisor reviews where you can good breakfeast for 200 baht. I don't plan on spending more than 500 baht per day on food.
Ladyboy prices seem a bit high from what I expected(1500 baht per short time)..We will see.

>>1136991
If you don't plan to spend more than THB500/day on food, you are absolutely fine. Even with a pricy hooker date every night (the THB3000 I described above included the girls, bar fines [600 or so, just to get the girl out of the establishment--none of this goes to your date, just to her bosses], a few drinks, and some street food), you should have nearly 1000 baht a day to spend on entertainment and getting around. Should be easy.

I'm confused, Google tells me 4500 THB is 115 Euros.
Isn't this way to much for a day in Thailand, especially with hostels already paid?

>>1137017
As to Ladyboy escorts I think I will use Tinder and Thai Friendly.
Ladyboy bards are a bit expensive, although I might go to Nana once or twice as my hotel is literally 20 meters away

>>1137029
Thailand can be very cheap but also very expensive.
Depends on what you are looking for.
A meal in fancy restaurant can cost 4000 baht easily.
I look for middle ground-modest hotels, no hostels, decent food but no fancy restaurants or ultra cheap food god knows where from

>>1137124
Alright this is my very first post on 4chan, it's pretty funny, after years just looking at this website.

Anyway, I live in Thailand right now, and 4500 THB per day is fucking massive. Excepted if you plan on eating at a rooftop restaurant for 3 meals a day I don't see how you could blow up that amount of money regarding what you described.

You can find great restaurants that are 200-400THB per meal. For the escort, you negotiate that but i wouldnt spend more than 2000THB.

The maximum I probably spent on one day was 3000 THB with souvenirs purchase, an oil massage (I can give you a great address in bangkok), hacing a drink on a rooftop, partying in the evening and eating out at nice places.

Like seriously, with your hotels and planes paid I don't even know how you can use 4500 per day, apart from hookers.

Enjoy Thailand man!

>>1137136
If you have good address for professional massage(I mean professional as my back is killing me as well as neck) and beauty saloon next somewhere to Nana Plaza where I will be staying I would appreciate it(it can be on the Skyline metro line too)

>>1137136
How much does 1-month rent costs usually?

I've heard good things about this website:

http://ladyboysbangkok.com/
I will be in bkk in about a week, but goddam am I freaked out about getting an std from them.

>>1137476

Escorts are 3-5x minimum more expensive than freelancers (google where to find them) or bargirls. As the other dude indicated you can get them on Tinder or ThaiFriendly (beware some pros use it to try & hustle clients through this) - you would do well to offer to pay her taxi fare (500baht is generous & will be well received).

Places like Cockatoo at Cowboy or some of the upstairs joints at Nana can be good - some have backrooms you can use for a small fee too if you feel like getting in & out quick. A few massage parlours have kathoey staff members also.

>>1136920
Why are ladyboys a thing? I always wondered.

>>1137486

You don't think the extra price is worth it?

>>1137498
because they have dick and people who like them are faggot in denial.
Be careful with ladyboy op they have the highest rate of sexual disease.

Money in thailand is not easy to come by especially when you have a large family and family is everything there. Your options as a man are either:

-Train to fight muay thai from a young age and become proficient enough to send money home.

- Become a ladyboy and get your boypussi pounded every night by foreigners who can afford it for a pittance.

I guess getting a real job is an option too but considering the average salary in thailand is <500$ the other options just seem more attractive.

>>1137649
thailand is easily the richest country in SEA of size.

the ladyboy thing is probably genetic. all these transgender freaks keep demending we recognize it as a genetic disorder, which it probably is, the sam way homosexuality is. stop ascribing it to their culture. it's prominent from thailand all the way south to indonesia, they're all completely different cultures. it disappears when the blood starts to become sinitic around vietnam and in the north.

>>1137666
Just because the country is rich doesn't mean its individual peoples are. I don't doubt that a large majority of them are mentally ill but down there I imagine being so close and seeing your neighbors success it becomes monkey see monkey do and spreads that way. Maybe it's their version of the bible belt or the "south" in the US. Who's really to say?

>>1137671
I'd post vids of funny "ladyboy" kids, at least my Thai friends think they are funny. This isn't something they decide to do when they are teenagers. The ladyboys have been that way since they could walk. You are on to something in regards to who chooses to do prostitution, but most ladyboys aren't prostitutes. They work retail, and salons, and customer service jobs. Ladyboy =/= hooker. That's where your argument that men become ladyboys to be hookers to make money falls apart.

>>1137681
>They work retail, and salons, and customer service jobs. Ladyboy =/= hooker. That's where your argument that men become ladyboys to be hookers to make money falls apart.

I actually wasn't aware of this. To be honest if I wasn't on a strip in thailand I probably wouldn't be able to spot ladyboys to avoid and it wouldn't cross my mind at all. I'd just treat them like normal women probably up until I heard them speak. Keeps you on your toes at least.

>>1137687
If you become familiar with Thais, in general, ladyboys are easy to spot. They are more feminine, as far as western ideals, than actual Thai women. And they tend to be taller, larger hands. But because they usually epitomize the western ideal me than actual females, it's easy for the unindoctrimated to be fooled, or just ignore the fact she/he has a penis.

>>1136991
>But I already found a local Thai fast food joint with good tripadvisor reviews

What's it called?

>>1137486

So if I wanted to spend the week doing nothing but getting drunk and fucking what would be the best way to go about it?

At best I might go around to try different street foods here and there but I don't care to see the sights or get involved with touristy shit.

>>1137808
Pattaya
>Good guys go to heaven, bad guys go to Pattaya

>>1137856

Oh well, heaven would be boring anyways. What are some of the general traps for a tourist to avoid? I'm not the sort who walks around with a backpack on but being a nig nog I'm sure I'd stick out a great deal, what are the things to watch out for as far as dealing with the locals?

>>1138205
No disadvantage to being black there. You are actually less likely to be fucked with. There are hip hop clubs like 808 and Insomnia. There are also your standard tourist scams to avoid, like the jet ski scam and what not. I will link back to some posts I made in another thread in regards to Pattaya.

>>1138205

Here you go. A lot of Pattaya talk in the middle of this.

If you're looking for ladyboy action then Pattaya is the place to be. ST is 1000 baht and LT you usually pay 1500-2000. Can pick hotties up barfine free if you go to Marine Disco on Walking St after 2am. I'll be in Thailand next month, when you going mate?

>>1138257

This isn't going to be anytime soon unfortunately. It's going to be my graduation present and requires saving money up to do it. so i might not be able to do it until sometime next year but Im gunning for it.

>>1136920
Yes.

660 baht will get you a pretty decent hotel.

Food is even less

I wasn't at the south where I heard prices are much higher (Well depends where) but some days I made it with 950 baht, but that was with sleeping mostly in dorms, eating local/street food and no partying.
You can check accomodation rates online and see how much you pay for what you want.

A Ladyboy escort in the West can easily earn £10,000 per month.That amount of money is overwhelming for many.

Thanks for all the replies.
Counting my days till the flight.
Can't wait.

4500 baht would probably last me a week. I don't get how you guys blow so much money while travelling.
