If you’ve never been to Thailand before, you’re probably wondering how much it’s going to cost you. Some people say that it’s an affordable destination, while others claim that it’s expensive. The truth is it all depends on the person and the type of trip they’re having.
You can travel to Bangkok and check out all the cool areas there with a low budget, you can have an extremely expensive trip while still missing out on many attractions, or you can have a luxurious trip on an average budget. If you’re looking to have a luxurious vacation without breaking the budget, then a lot of planning should be done. Here are a few tips that will help you stay within your budget while enjoying the beauty of Thailand.
Thai Local Food
When you’re calculating your budget during a trip, you will find that food takes up a large portion of the budget that you could use in something else. Eating at fancy restaurants all the time while travelling can be pricey. Instead, try the local food. You’re travelling to enjoy and learn about a new culture, and you can’t do that unless you try the local food. Restaurants on famous streets are designed to attract tourists and they are relatively expensive. To steer clear of these restaurants, avoid restaurants located on main streets and near attractions. If you’re looking for a luxurious experience, get recommendations from the locals.
Choose Your Accommodation and Travel in Style
When booking online, you might be tempted to choose the most luxurious hotel based on the pictures, or you might choose based on the prices you can afford. However, this technique might make you miss out on luxurious opportunities that you could easily afford.
Thailand, for instance, is the home of the most luxurious hotels and resorts around the world. When you rent a luxury yacht from an agency and book luxury accommodation, you will surely experience the best of everything Thailand has to offer. You just need to consult someone who’s familiar with the country and knows how and where to find good deals. By doing that, you will be able to enjoy VIP treatment wherever you go and save some cash at the same time.
