How to Travel Cheap in Bangkok - Thailand

SAWADEE KA!

"Hello" in Thailand. This is a simple greeting that meet you almost everywhere in Thailand. People literally says "Sawadee Ka" even in the entrance of a washroom. Thai people are generally nice and friendly. They will go out their way to help you in simple ways they can. Marami din na alam mu na, but it's everywhere. I just so happened to be lucky to have meet good ones.

I have been to Thailand # times already and I never get tired of coming back there. The food, the people, the endless surprises it offers and the fact that it is the most recommended place to travel outside Vietnam. I gained experience in finding the cheapest way possible to travelling Bangkok, Thailand and here are my Top 3 Ways To Travel Cheap in Bangkok, Thailand.

1. Take the Airport Train

I am impressed by the transportation system in Bangkok to be honest (The same with Malaysia). This is very convenient to all passengers. One way of getting away from the dreadful traffic and of course to save a lot of money. The Airport Link Only costs 35 - 45 Up to the last stop and you can get to anywhere from there.





2. Stay in a Hostel

If you're here for budget travel tips, then listen up: stay in a hostel! Hostels are perfect for those who enjoy meeting new people and immersing themselves in a lively atmosphere. Luckily, Bangkok is filled with hostels catering to every budget.





In a typical hostel, you'll have your own bed in a room shared with 6-8 other travelers. If you're lucky, you might even have your own locker with a lock. Most hostels also offer complimentary breakfast, along with amenities like Wi-Fi and TV. One hostel I highly recommend is the Mascot Hostel, located just a few meters away from the Airport Link Station. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the prices are affordable. Here's the link to their website! For my Filipino readers, PINOY po ang may-ari at ang nasa reception!

 
3. Don't be afraid to try local Street Vendors

When it comes to food, Thailand is unparalleled. Oh, how I love the culinary delights of this country! It's safe for foreigners to indulge in street food, as Thailand maintains high cleanliness standards. Of course, it's always a good idea to have necessary vaccinations before traveling.




Be sure to try "Sticky Rice," Pad Thai, and the fresh orange juice sold along the streets. It's a refreshingly delicious experience! There are countless other dishes to sample, though I must admit, I've forgotten the names of many due to their sheer variety. Just a heads up: you might gain a few pounds after your vacation!


4. Walk

Yes, you read that right - walk! In a city like Bangkok, even short distances can become costly due to traffic and tourist pricing. Walking not only saves money but also offers a unique perspective of the city's daily life. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes or flats before embarking on your walking adventure!

I hope you find these tips helpful for your upcoming trip to Bangkok! Stay tuned as I'll be updating with more tips and recommendations in the future. Safe travels and enjoy your time exploring this incredible city!
