@52weeks52 It's a blessing having a frugal mindset - no deprivation involved in being a so-called Cheap Charlie. When you find a restaurant which offers exceptional local food for 50-60 baht, or decent accommodation for under 500, it gives you a kick. It leaves you more money in the bank for items that really will benefit you - a decent camera for wildlife photography, or wherever your interests may lie...
Well perhaps 😁, if I took a tuk tuk. But I was actually In a free shuttle from the hotel to the BTS station. In a tuk tuk you might also spend your day in a gem sales room 😁
Great tourist selfies, thanks!
From ample comments by our loaded American cousins in Thai forums, they might struggle with a $500 daily budget - never mind 500 baht! lol
It is certainly possible to spend a lot of money in Thailand, if you are determined to do so!

Very true. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything and can always have a night out or travel when I want to.
Probably 300 for the tuk tuk lol

@@52weeks52 oh there you go, looked just like a tuk tuk
@@52weeks52 and right, I have never been in a tuk tuk.
The shuttle is basically a very large tuk tuk.
