benpollack Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Being constantly torn between The PI and LOS the respective exchange rates do have a small part in my decisions on where to go. 1000thb = $28usd 1000php = $20usd So a 2000 baht or peso barfine is a $16 difference to me. I guess it adds up but in the end it's not yet that great a difference that it changes my current taste for TG or Pina puss.. ...do they actually have characteristically different flavours....?

Joe1956 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So far some years have been cheaper than others But really End of the day, $500 or $1000 difference over 3 or 4 weeks isn't a thing to worry about if it is then stay home, You will be miserable no matter what Im no big spender but I am not a cheap charlie either I laugh and pay the best negotiated price without offending anyone Always haggle but remember to always laugh and then give a tip on top Life is good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samjet777 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 ...do they actually have characteristically different flavours....? Yes, distinctively different but equally yummy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsam2 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 First visit was 2003 and we got just over 70 baht to the £. Since then its gone to around 40 so a big drop which means things cost a lot more. Plus prices have generally gone up such as hotels, drinks and girls. So i could be sad but just take it that I was just lucky to be there once when it was high and maybe that was the anomoly and not now. Sometimes you can have it too good.

Lychee4u Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I would like to open back this topic... damn, the baht getting stronger or dollar getting weaker?! now 1000B at USD$32! CRAZY... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonboy Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 As mentioned in the thread, maybe we are getting to the norm and previously was too good. My first trip I got 52b to 1 GBP, about a 20 % drop. Just budget accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhaus Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 still cheaper than getting a root here at home.just have to bring a little more cash this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atran71 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Doesnt really effect me too much. Over the span of the trip you probably only spending a little more per day and in mind Bangkok still cheap relatively to other destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfachris Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 does not affect so much. It becomes expensive everywhere in the world. and BKK is still the best place for fun and for resonnable cost Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lychee4u Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think Thai gov should follow China by controlling their Yuan not going too high... I think tourist will not find Thailand affordable anymore if Bhat keep on getting stronger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
