First time I visited Pattaya back in early February, went to a bar around 10pm, I was there till around 4am in the morning, my bar bill alone was nearly 5000 bath but I kept saying yes to every girl who wanted a drink. It was a good lesson for me.
200+baht per day for accommodation is very cheap. I normally stay on Soi 15 Travelodge, it's nothing special but never less than 1000 baht per day. Maybe I have to start looking around more.
I don't get this. I have been twice this year, two weeks at a time, back again September, excluding hotel I always end up spending around 8 to 10 thousand baht daily. How can one manage on just thousand Baht daily basis?
I have been twice this year, going back again September, stay two weeks at a time, never had any problems, always have return ticket but never been asked for proof of return ticket.
£920 pounds monthly pension is nowhere enough to retire in Thailand. by the time you paid rent, health insurance, energy you might just have enough left for food to survive.
I have been twice this year visa exemption, always stay two weeks at a hotel, will be coming back twice more this year staying two weeks at a time. Never been asked a question or delayed by immigration.
