It was out of Thailand I of the first regions in Europe and North America. Based on the wise advice of experienced Thailand of my friends, I was sure that ridiculous this paradise vacation costs. However, back home, I was too late, during the Thailand adventures of my little genuine surge in roughly the same amount of money I spent as one of Europe are known. If I knew it carefully planning saves Thailand trip to manifest itself can be. Still enjoy their vacation, you can help these beginner Thailand visitors to save large amounts of cash and some solid advice are as follows.
1. Selection of the season. Accommodation costs, on the island of Thailand to travel during the low season you can save 25% (up to 25 $ per bungalow high standard-fine but no choice). Work with other world based on the seasons many places; entire season, significant price fluctuations. Not Thailand weather during the low season very comfortable is important facts. Very little difference between the temperature of the hot season and peak season during the wet season only one mild with occasional rain to experience. Therefore, in the Thailand can be reduced by avoiding suffering from excruciating one accommodation cold or to pay the price of monsoon unlimited and act upon it, but it is peak season.
2. Transport. Retention can from Bangkok to final destination by one of the South Island train or plane instead of the bus to get to $ each way, 80. If you arrived at Bangkok International Airport in the evening, bundle can save. This saving, relatively expensive airfare, train and bus ticket costs gap plus incident between the first night of accommodation (40 $ - $100 per bungalow high standard-classy without accommodation 1).
3. Food. No appropriate cost-for more country Western style can make a personal decision about getting a balance of interests, is better for your dinner, pay. In the South Island, Thailand, especially that it is much easier: in most cases cheaper and better. Specializes in expensive restaurants of the island of Thailand usually good authentic taste of Western food; takes a standard dinner, costs 10 $ - 30 $ restaurants in this kind of. The dinner takes plastic chairs, and cheap restaurants, $ 3-$8 also it usually delicious and authentic. Issued in fine dining at dinner my most disappointing Thailand, Bangkok, and my best in Ko Pha-Ngan was cheap family restaurant for dinner while had cost $ 120 for a couple. Owners prepare meals - MOM - exactly what we wanted it to that name young moms to be, and we a tiny 5-6 at a charge per person.
4. Air conditioning. Existence of room air-conditioning can make a huge difference in rates. For example, at the same rate the same resort 15 $ to 30 $ bungalows fan varies from 40 $ - 100 $ / air-con bungalows. Available March - April), such as of during the hot season during the rainy season in southern Thailand-to see important to can choose bungalows are your fans and you can to meet needs, and of both turn to spend more than half.
5. Choosing a location. Held on the same principle, in place of the world's most Thailand Island hotel rates, location of your choice depends on. Bungalows near the airport and the port's lively nightlife fully, in the heart of the beach twice, same this bungalow in expensive remote tranquil beach. But accessibility is Thailand matter, Islands in the taxi boat fares, taxi fares as rates are under the same principal works. Rules you adopt: a social activity and the airport and seaport; If you are looking to stay near the busy nightlife are otherwise more effort, and navigate to the remote beach after arriving. Save up to 60 percent rates in this way.
6. Communication. Will, but don't realize it as a complete shock from the outside of the Thailand cell phone use very expensive can. Reduced communication costs is to buy local mobile prepaid SIM card, or using the phone, and Internet the Service Center. Mind that the cost of these services may vary. To use call center if you're calling from overseas, the resort's Office as usual in the town, with more than more expensive will be. There is a phone number that can be used to invoke the call centers of all the cheapest solution probably phone number your friends and relatives abroad offers.
7. Price negotiations. Tourism ??? is a need for negotiations and ways of life. Similarly, as accepted in the islands of tourism and regional price negotiations. Just try it-so there is no a Thailand price negotiations, embarrassing behaviour thought had nothing to lose.
8. Psychology. Thailand of all the home country is more cheaper are perceived to be of such low price controls costs, and don't be fooled. Vast amounts of cheap stuff purchase can add amazing large sums of money.
To follow on my last visit during the Thailand persistence in these guidelines, and to disclose was glad that you can only budget travel Thailand in economic matters, it is also fun. Interestingly, in Thailand, spend less – to get near the authentic local experience.
