Thailand was my first destination outside Europe and North America. Based on the wise advice of my previous experience of friends Thailand, I was sure that this vacation paradise, the cost would be ridiculous conducted. But back home, I found out later that during my little Thailand adventure I have spent most of Europe the same amount of money as one of my regular oscillations. If only I knew that planning for the trip to Thailand is a careful manifests itself in huge savings. The following list contains some sound advice can help, that money is the newcomer Thailand visitors to save significant amounts, 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). How to work in many other places, the world is based, are Seasonally adjusted, there is a substantial price fluctuations over the 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 "may be only an occasional experience of light rain. Therefore, Thailand can be seen in lower costs for the season ' housing, avoiding peak without the price of unbearable suffering. Cold or dealing with endless monsoon.
According to Transport. Journey from Bangkok to an island destination in the south by train or bus instead of plane, you can up to $ 80 per trip. You can use a package in the event of arrival at Bangkok International Airport in the evening. 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 accordance with- Not luxury - accommodation).
3 Cost. -. Food in Western style, the more you pay for your dinner is better, so that everyone can benefit on a personal decision adequately. 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, the taste is not authentic, or more than, a standard dinner costs $ 10 - $ 30 in a restaurant like this is a dinner alternative to a cheap restaurant with plastic chairs cost $ 3 - $ 8, and is usually so pleasant and genuine. My most disappointing Thai dinner was had in a posh restaurant in Bangkok and cost $ 120 for a pair, while my best dinner was served in a cheap family restaurant in Koh Phangan. The owner - a young mother named Mam - prepared the meal for us exactly as we wanted and we pay a paltry$ 5-6 per person.
air conditioning fourth. The presence of air conditioning in the room can make a big difference in price. 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 when you visit southern Thailand during the rainy season - a bungalow with a fan that can satisfy both. Their needs and cut spending in more than half.
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 in the central beach is situated near the airport or harbor full of nightlife, 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 costs of taxis and Taxi fares boats operate under the same principle that overnight 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 from outside Thailand could extremely expensive. To save on communication costs you can use a prepaid phone with local 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 hearing of the award. 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. Even though Thailand is perceived in all cheaper than in your country, do not joke seemingly low prices and control your expenses. The purchase of a huge amount of inexpensive 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 pleased to reveal that the trip to Thailand can be a problem rather than economic, but also can be fun only. Interestingly, Thailand, spend less - as close to the local association experience.
