Holidays<\/a> in Thailand<\/a> have long won their fans. The main advantages of this distant country are: availability, cheapness, a good combination of historical sights<\/a>, friendly resort<\/a>s and the identity of the Thais. We can definitely say that tour<\/a>ists will have something to do in the vastness of the Asian country and what to see<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Little tricks<\/h2>\n

The fact is that any vacation<\/a> involves expenses that can be conditionally divided into mandatory and optional. The first group includes: flights, accommodation costs, meals, etc. Accordingly, optional expenses include: paying for additional services at the hotel<\/a>, visit<\/a>ing paid beaches<\/a>, clubs, renting transport, etc.<\/p>\n

Our first piece of advice will be about planning your budget properly. The final cost of your trip depends on how you prioritize, what expenses you conside<\/a>r mandatory and what you can refuse. For example, experienced tour<\/a>ists know that you can save on food if you take car<\/a>e of cooking. In this case, you need to conduct reconnaissance and find where the cheapest products are. So, food prices<\/a> are more affordable in the markets, and not in company stores.<\/p>\n

For those who are going to Thailand on their own<\/a>, we recommend that you study our guide.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Equally important in terms of savings is the right choice of hotel. When you book rooms via the Internet, study all possible offers, consider the positive and negative sides of the establishment, and read the reviews<\/a> of the guests. Believe me, even in the cheapest hotel you can relax<\/a> in comfort. Yes, and you will need a room only for an overnight stay. Here are some good value for money hotel options: The Famous House<\/a> in Pattaya<\/a>, The Little Moon Residence<\/a> in Phuket<\/a>, Happio Guesthouse<\/a> in Bangkok<\/a> (located just 300m from Khaosan Road).<\/p>\n

City<\/a> walks<\/h2>\n

You can save a lot on tour<\/a>ism in Thailand by refusing taxi<\/a> services. The fare on such transport is quite high, and taxi<\/a> drivers do not mind making extra money on inexperienced and gullible tourists<\/a>. And you will soon feel how expensive it is to use the services of such a carrier for your wallet.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

A good alternative to a taxi is a motorcycle, which you can rent from one of the specialized companies<\/a>. But for this you need to have a Thai driver's license, skills in handling two-wheeled vehicles, and also have insurance that provides for the possibility of injury during outdoor activities. Otherwise, no company will agree to cooperate with you.<\/p>\n

Actively use public transport<\/a>. For example, in Pattaya, Phuket, you can save a lot by travel<\/a>ing by minibus<\/a>es. The fare will be from 20 to 50 baht per passenger, depending on the distance.<\/p>\n

If you love sightseeing<\/a>, never buy multiple tours<\/a> from the same guide. The fact is that the cost of the services of such specialist<\/a>s is prohibitively high and includes additional fees for “mythical security<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

It's even better if you go sights<\/a>eeing on your own<\/a>. You will not have to overpay guides for their dubious services, because many of them have long developed a scheme for making cheap money on tourists<\/a>. Plan your excursions correctly, combine visits to several interesting places<\/a>. For example, when visiting the oceanarium in Pattaya, we advise you to look into the Makro low price store. It is in these shops that you can buy vegetables, meat, potatoes, pasta and many other products at the best prices<\/a>. But it is better to buy fruits<\/a> in the market.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/a> Features<\/h2>\n

It's no secret that the lion's share of expenses falls on purchases. And here we also have some practical tips<\/a> to help you save money while on holiday in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What to bring from Thailand<\/a> – an overview<\/a> of the best souvenirs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

First of all, make it a rule never to buy anything on the beaches<\/a> and during excursion<\/a>s. The beach is the most expensive place where food can be bought with a huge overpayment. It is more practical and more profitable to either take food with you or buy it in the nearest<\/a> stores. The situation is similar with excursions, on which the Thais will want to sell you any knick-knacks at a fabulous price.<\/p>\n

When making any transaction, do not forget to bargain. Here it is the norm, so you should not be ashamed. As a rule, sellers are ready to cut the price of souvenirs<\/a> and other products well. If you master the art of bargaining at a high level, you can buy the product you like for several times cheaper than its original cost.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, we note: you should not visit rest<\/a>aurants of Russian cuisine. Such establishments are design<\/a>ed for our compatriots who are accustomed to “overspending”. All meals here are very expensive.<\/p>\n

We hope that our tips on how to<\/a> have a cheap vacation in Thailand will help you save a lot on this exotic vacation.<\/p>\n
