Bangkok, Thailand Travel Living Costs

Asia — Tags: , — by Nick

Besides being the punchline for many third grade jokes, Bangkok is one of the more popular Thailand destinations. This sweltering SE Asian destination has some urban to mix with the local thai culture. There are plenty of parties and it’s cheap just like the rest of Thailand. If Bangkok’s living cost is too high for your liking, venture out of the city to smaller places where you could potentially live on less than $15/day compared to Bangkok’s necessary $25-30/day.
