I remember going to pattaya, well living in Jomtien for a year back in 2004, and i drank a hell of a lot every night of year, for the full year partying hard as i was young then, i went back 2 weeks ago and the money i now needed for one night (with girl costs included) was the same i was paying for quite a few nights back in 2004 haha. I was spending 12,000 - 20,000 baht on drinks alone in the gogo bars 2 weeks ago 😕, never mind the stupid 4,000 baht girl fee and 1,500 bar fines. That's just for ST too 😆 I remember the gogo girls costing 2000 baht plus 800 - 1000 bar fine back in 2004, and i always got LT for that price. Now i have to get a loan every time i want a holiday in Pattaya hahaha 🤣🤣 ... the price increases and the almost 35-40% exchange rate (I'm crap with percentages so its probably more lol) drop has killed it off for me. But my bank loves me more now, there's always a silver lining 🤪. Well, in the end i started using freelancers (charging 1,500 - 2000, so basically the same prices i was paying for gogo girls back in 2004/2005), had some pretty good girls and quite a few annoying as fk ones too, one even had her ipod on and singing in her own world oblivious to everything while doing the do lol, I've never, ever had that happen before from any Thai girl. I'm laid there thinking wtf. Then she has nerve to get off, search/look through my items in my bag on the desk in front of me and wondered why i got a bit miffed with her when she also demanded money for a taxi. Sorry love, that come out your fee. Now GTFO out my room, after that she also demanded i take her out with me around walking st. Maybe i should have paid for her into the psychiatrists office😆 Did meet one really nice lass, i've got her booked next week for a few nights before i go into the gogos. I really need to try some beer bars this time, any recommendations?

Way to go mate

[@mrhbkpcnbob5191]

For this two weeks I spent £700 on a return flight from the UK. £225 for 14 nights at my hotel. Then I spent around £3,000 on the rest. I didn't drink much but i was never left lonely during my stay. I always had a bed mate/travel companion.

I budgeted about 7100 baht per day on my last trip in February 2020 and that included a trip down to Koh Chang with LT girl. Not sure if I will be at that pace this trip but looking forward to trying. Spent about $7k CAD over about 18 nights.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Nice one my friend I'm sure you had a great time

[@LeDudeDK]

Well I am the usual two week millionaire who just don't care because I don't have the option to come that often, so I just do whatever I want. In bath I usually use: Plane tickets/transport to and from Pattaya: 30.000 baht, Hotel for three weeks: 20-25.000 baht, Daily spending 8-10.000 baht. Every holiday for a 10 year period has been within this spending range - So a total holiday cost has usually been around 200-250k. An average of once every second year..... and I don't even drink any alcohol!

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Fair play mate

[@leeshuttleworth3552]

This is a good video and a great guide. Like you mention it’s impossible to gauge the cost as it’s each to their own. I’ve holidayed there 12 times and each and every time I’ve spent a fortune. Definition of a 2 week millionaire! You can certainly rack up huge bills in bars when you’ve had a few and get carried away. I also seem to tip a lot and buy things from on street sellers that I don’t need. Most people tend to learn but I seem to get worse each time! I like to eat at nice places and always take a girl and sometimes a friend or 2 of hers. Taxis everywhere, nice food, lady drinks, bar fines, kamagras, fake watches, 12 hours drinking everyday, siam siam rooftop, sky gallery, day trips, it all adds up super quick but can be done on a good budget if needed and you’re sensible enough. I stay at the KTK hotel which is really nice and not too expensive. My longest stay was 2 months in Jan 2017, total spend with flights and hotels was around £19,000. Landed back in Manchester without a pot to piss in but had the time of my life. Incredible place. I was that addicted to the place I actually went for 4 nights once when I had 5 days off work. Mental.

Cheers mate

[@johnsmith-gs4qf]

I bring about $3,000 - $ 4,000 (not including airfare) for a 1-2 week trip, but I admit to being the opposite of a Cheap Charlie! I stay at a budget mid-range hotel or guest house (Admire House on Soi Lengkee & Flipper Lodge "Soi 8"recommended). I enjoy eating a combination of Thai food and Farang food and occasional street food (Smokin Joes bbq, Benihana, Lek buffet,& P72 recommended). I go to agogos and gentlemen's clubs a couple times a trip, but mainly frequent beer bars. I have a long-time Thai companion, so this one factor probably contributes the most to my rather high budget, but she has a good attitude and keeps me entertained!

Just came back from 2days in bkk and 14 in pattaya. Paid 2.2k for flight and hotels and took 2k€ for fun (around 100€/day). The budget was on point.

I spent 3 weeks in Pattaya this past May. No including Air fares I went through approx 121000 THB or AU$ 5000 or GBP3500 or USD$3500 for those unable to use a conversion app. I spent 10 days in Kokotel (just off soi bukow) for THB 7500, and it was three star with a good shower aircon and a great bed and a reasonable swimming pool. the other 11 days I split between two other hotels for about the same price but the Kokotel was the better choice

I've been to Thailand six times, four before the unspecified virus of unknown origin and twice after the reopening. Here's what I paid in USD for a two week stay. Costs are the same except for one category. 1.) Airfare = $1,500 (Flying from Hawai'i to BKK via, JAL, Korean Air or Asiana) 2.) Hotel = $2,000 (Hyatt in Pattaya/Landmark in BKK) 3.) Transportation = $150.00 4.) Food = $900 5.) My Drinks = $300 6.) Laundry Services = $60.00 7.) Excursions = $200 8.) Night time entertainment = $3,600 (After Reopening)/ $2,100 (Pre-virus era) Grand Total (After Reopening) = $8,710 or 305,982.29 Baht Grand Total (Pre-Virus) = $7,210 or 253,287.29 Baht Is Thailand still a good deal? Yup, primarily because of the low cost of lodging and food.

Pretty good price estimates. Traditionally I've budgeted 4000B a day (excluding hotel). I tend to stay and go out on the North side of town where it's quieter and cheaper. Given that it's been two years and I know prices have gone up, I'll budget 5000B - 6000B a day for my trip this fall.

For 14 days in Pattaya. Day to get there, Day to get home (16 Days Total) Air fare Brisbane to BKK Return, around AU$850 (Buy now for late October) Accommodation (Opey De Place) AU$600 / 14000 THB + AU$100 transport to & from airport. I usually get hotel to have car waiting. (AU$50 / 1200 THB one way) I spend around AU$250 a day (Adjusted up from AU$200) = AU$3500 Total roughly AU$5050. I don't go to Walking St (haven't for many years) Stay out Go-Go bars also. I also don't stick to a budget. Very important, always have a backup plan to get more money for something unforeseen.

I believe the prices & costs mentioned might change since the timing of this video was made during Low Season where the prices were generally relatively lower as compared to High Season and Peak High Season like during Christmas, NYE and Songkran period btw....But one thing good when you have a long holiday at a specific place to bring down your cost is that you dont need to go all out on every single day, you could alternate between one day relax and bar-hopping/hunting, strictly solo without any ladydrinks, and the next day go full party mode:)

Anywhere between 1500 to 2000 Thai baht for taxi to Pattaya. Best tip I can give... Head back to Bangkok three days before your flight. You want less sweat with timing ...

I got scammed in a go go bar in Bangkok, Soi Cowboy. I didn't know the difference between a go go bar and other types of bars. Don't go to go go bars in Bangkok, full stop. Basically what happened is the 2 girls ordered alcoholic beverages when they told me they would order sodas, and then when I decided to leave after 30 mn, the bar owner cheated on the number of drinks, she litterally TRIPLED the number of drinks ordered, she charged me over 4800 baht of drinks when I should have paid "only" 1800 baht for 6 drinks (at 300 baht per drink, which is already double the prices in Pattaya), That b*tch got angry, yelled at me and called the police on me when I refused to pay, contesting the number of drinks (and no, I wasn't drunk, I don't drink and only ordered fizz water for myself). I ran down the actual cost of the actual drinks in front of them but to no avail. I got away with 4000 baht, but I simply decided to completely skip Pattaya after this experience. I don't mind paying upfront if it's honest (I happily paid 4500 baht for a massage the day before), but I really don't like being scammed.

Average spend per day for myself when I was In Pattaya was £150 per day, stayed in the Opey De Place on Soi Lengkee, cost 650 Baht per night, good hotel with all that you need, nice pool as well, Breakfast, cheap charlie 99 baht, Devonshire 189 baht, kungs 189 baht, Nicky's 189 Baht and Mint 189 Baht for a full English Breakfast, out of the ones mentioned I would say Kungs and Nicky's were the best, I didn't go to any Agogo's as I prefer normal Bars, Flights, I fly with Emirates, from Birmingham it's now £1100 on a return Flight.

I am sure everyone has a different budget, but for me, my company give me about $500 per day as a daily stipend(not counting weekend). That will be approximately $10,000 in 4 weeks. That is apprximately what I will spend. Approximate breakdown is $2500 for international and domestic transportation. $2000 for lodging, $2200 for food and meals. Another $2800 for activities and entertainment. This is similar to what I spend in back home minus international flight. Due to Corona, I have been cook up in condo for past few years and my health deteriorated. I need to be low key to regain my health.

I went from the 1st of September to the 10th. I brought about 2k AUD spending money. I leave the flights, hotels and other associated cost out as they are paid well in advance and as you say, everyone is different and have preferences from a cheap accommodation to a fancy hotel. And also we all live in a different part of the world. I can get a return flights for 600$ AUD. But yeah 2k AUD was enough to have some good times without mentioning it was my first time so I could have probably saved money here and there as I was a newbie and also because I mainly drank in agogo and they are more expensive. I'm a big guy and I can sink a lot of alcohol before it starts to get me tipsy. Next time i'll buy a couple of bottles and start to drink before going out.

@@TH-qr9vp yes if you shop around flights under $1000 , western standard hotel $30-$40 a day. I like flipper lodge or pattaya blue sky. However endless options in hotels . Then $200 a day 6000b to party in beer bars . If you like gogo bars plus company then you’ll need $300 a day . This is for drinking eating and company . If you don’t drink , and no ladies $50-$100 a day spending is fine . But budgets can be as low or high as your lifestyle. Patts has something for every budget . walk around just looking dabbling in street food and 7/11 snack and drinks could probably do $20 a day. Ring bells hang out in the best clubs could blow $500 easy . So as they say in Thailand up to you . Smart travelers have a reserve in the bank beyond the intended budget in case something goes wrong .

@@billypattaya2850 I'd like to do a month. Plane flight and travel insurance would still be about $1,000. I would not be out partying and drinking everyday though. I'd like to have some time to explore, rest, and be chill. That gives a budget of $133 per day ($4,000 / 30). $100 per day after the hotel. Say every three days is an average of $450 (200, 200, 50). You would just need to add $1500 to your budget and turn it into a month long holiday. So $6500 total. I'm not sure if that budget would be enjoyable though as I've never been there.

If we are talking about a short stay,my budget rule is very simple:10K baths per day.which includes hotel,restaurant and girls.I'm in holiday,no question of saving on the quality of the food or choosing between a gogo or a beer bar,if I like a girl,I take her wherever she is.when the 10K has burnt out,I go to sleep. Of course, if I lived here year round or I stay let say 3 month or 4 month, it would be different.So short stay=10K rule. It doesn't mean I'm going to spend it all, but I don't want to be in the situation where I don't do things because I don't have the money while I'm on holiday.

Very tough video to tackle, as Kev-In-Thailand used to say.... "it's up to you". The great thing about Patts and Thailand in general is that it suits most budgets - you can find rooms for as little as 500 baht a night, as you say you can east for 200-300 baht for thai food and if you drink in cheaper bars 10 beers can be as little as 500-600 baht. Total spend for a day can be as little 50 quid without "entertainment"! Condo's also good value for accomodation, I was able to book a 2 bed condo for 4 weeks in january at the Base on second road for 40k baht! At the same time these are quite restrictive. For me I budget around 2 1/5 grand sterling for a trip - that covers most things except flights and family costs (my wife's family live in pattaya).

Amazing value, don't cheat yourself form that experience, as it will give you a much better trip all together. Nothing is better than to jump in a nice pool next morning after a good night out. Maybe even 30 minutes in a great gym, just to be completely ready for a new night on the town. But as Sir Trevor always say "each to his own".
