What on Average do you

[jenerinlee]

If it is your first trip you will end up spending more in the first week than you will in week 2 & 3, as it is a bit like a kid in a sweet shop kind of thing.
If you find a bar you like to hang out in, you will want to ring the bell a few times durring your stay, so add that in to your drinks budget.

I always think this question is a bit like a pishing contest, people will try to tell you they spend a lot to let you know they can afford it, whilst others tell you how little you can get by on.

A few people have said 5k is about right to have a good night out with a happy ending, I think you can trust them.

You will find that you have a coiuple of days each week when you just want to relax around the hotel pool, then go out and have a few beers and a nice meal, then come back on your own, or you will meet a few guys and just sit round a bar drinking and talking about things, this is a good way of getting to hear about places to visit and whats going on locally.

What ever you end up spending every day, enjoy yourself!

why is it that everyone wants to tell you how much they spend ? personally i`m trying to reduce my daily expences as much as i can while at the same time maximising my experience .. 1 tiger costs 70 baht therefore im blind drunk at 1400 baht (20 beers) if your spending more than 5 k in a night out then your blowing your cash .. start your night with 6 beers from 7/11 and try dating the same girl more than once .. = under 3 k a night .. but maybe you only spend 2 weeks there a year while im trying to do 2 months plus .. ? .. just my 2 cents worth.

In all fairness, I have to say that those posts did put a smile on my face. I couldn't stop laughing ta the stupidity..

I'll do a denver and get my coat.

I suspect that's because we were asked. It's really that simple. that's what a forum is all about. Someone asks a question and forum members answer the question. If I can find a better way of making it more simple for you I will let you know, lol.

Very good comment.

I found myself spending way over what I had planned for first time I went out there in 2004. 2nd and even 3rd time - much the same; last time, as I was staying an extended period (well extended in as much as more than 3 weeks) I watched my spending. Having just sold a rather nice boat (don't like that word) I had a few quid to throw around - and the little lady soon worked that out!!! 555555555555555


I used to get by, with lady in tow BTW on around 3 - 5k per day.

Only times I would get miffed is when she would want to go to her friends bar - WARNING - yes her friends bar was always friendly but 4 - 5 k after only maybe 1 - 2 hours of drinking Chang and one or two JDs became a tad boring after one or two visits .....

Friends bar will not be frequented next time - there loss

i spend like a drunken sailor on leave and dont care

but id be lying if i said opening up that CC bill and taking a look at the bank balance doesnt casuse a little pain!!! 5555

 

[echinopsis .]

I like to be back at the hotel before 2 AM and at times we will be three of us, which makes for 2 concurrent LT. The day time is usually spent getting a massage and a few ST.
...... Damn, I wish I was in LOS right now.

 

[indicabud1uk]

ah yeah i think you missed my point .. good come back all the same ..

 

[Sheena Li]

Sorry thought you were being a smartarse lol.

 

[MoToCroSSS -30]

Normally spend 10k in a 24-hour period, that includes Massage/ST's/LT food and beverages.

You will have to wait until February intello:

You're calculating that you spend what you drink alone.

Blowing 5K on drinks a night is easily done when you're on a tour with a group.

 

[jfiannaca]

I normally go through around 10k a day in Pattaya, and about the same amount per week in Phuket.

 

[nitwig//0]

It depends who I am meeting up with and what is on the agenda :
Also how long I'm in Town.
If it's a two-three week trip then I like to make every night count so I'll usually head out with around 10k in anticipation of a proper night which tends to conclude around day break.
When I am there for the long haul then it is only around 5k and when it's gone I'm off home to bed and running out of money is a good way to prevent my rubber arm being twisted to stay out longer.

 

[flybishop]

what im saying is that im trying to be no longer reckless in my spending ... 5 k on drinks must surely be over generous concidering ive shown that 1400 baht can get a man happily drunk ?

 

[The Manipulator]

i find my spending can spiral out of control esp after a few drink when i say the old fck it i wont be back for a long time as long as the atms paying im taking ,

But i don drink so much so 5 k can do me ok , mabye even 3k deoends on what ur doing,

if your not drinking i think 2-3 k would be more than enough , if drinking anything can happens

 

[DaleMcIntosh]

ha ha ha.. Did you miss a memo.. Pattaya is cheaper than Phuket :rules:

 

[Father Christmas]

Well, of cause up to you what you spend, I can't imagine being happily drunk in the corner drinking my own 1400 away.

Also, it's only so many "few beers" i could drink. Mostly I would drink more double wodka/Red Bull or double Jack D's over a nights out. They are certainly more than 70 baht. Given or taken, 5K are easily gone when going out with your friends. Nothing to "over generous" about it when on holidays.
