I am going to Krabi for 14 days in December , I will have £600.00 spending money for me and the missus, is this likely to be enough,we are bed and breakfast so will need at least one nice meal a day and the odd trip maybe
who's been and what did you spend (without the lady boy costs please )

 

Are you going to bangcock?

or for some other reason?

 

600quid will do. wont leave you much for too many excursions etc. but you will be able to eat etc no probs. do you have to py for accomodation out of that 600?

 

Nope not going to Bangcock
Accomodation all paid, just need spending cash

 

Basically you are giving yourselves £20 each per day and you need to eat, drink and go out with that ???

and you call that a Holiday????

 

That should see you ok then dude. your not gonna have exceesive amounts to go out with, but it should see you comfortable for a fortnight.

Whereabouts exactly are you going?

 

cool place....

 

Watch you dont come back from Krabi with a dose of the krabi

 

ya can get a blow job for 50p or have a bird for the whole night for 10 - 15

 

its actually a whole day and night apples for 15 quid

with regards to cash... i done 2k in 1 month and that was taking it easy staying in hostels ect, so accomodation is inc with the 2 k.. saying that we paid about 1 pound up to 3 quid a night Also a scuba course, padi in the 2 k..

food is seriously cheap, especially off the streets in bangkok.. tastes like petrol tho .. Try and get to the full moon party if is on..

Wicked place

Enjoy mate.. Got some great vid footage as well as pics, like the james bond island etc..!! oh and the lady boys

 

my6 old man lives out there hes just flown back yesterday he pops into uk to work ffor few months then back off he gos

expact to pay over the odds to get into the temples etc they have cottoned on to overcharging the tourists etc bartering is allways good

 

I know , I heard it was cheap, should really take more by the sounds of it

 

Daveyboy is that Krabi?
were did you stay?
How much is it for a nice meal with beverages

 

nowhere near enough money.
steer clear of places like rai leh (riley) beach it is now a world class resort, used to piss cheap years ago but top dollar now,
on that budget you would have to stay somewhere cheaper like trang, get about on peds or songthaews, but that is best anyway as you can go different beaches each day, or take some trips inland
best to learn some basic thai before you go as you will get ripped off left right and centre to begin with, but you will still have an awesome time

 

14 days is a long time to be in Krabi IMO i like the place but its just fook all to do apart from rock climbing.

i stayed @ a place called ya ya's it was cheap & clean on rai leh beach

 

I am in a beach resort there so cant go elsewhere really, Not looking to do much just a nice beach holiday with plenty of swimming,eating and boozing, but not at the same time

 

krabi town has a food market one evening a week superb if you are a pig like me

 

How much do you think I will need for 14 days, as above hotel and brekkie are already paid for?

That food market sounds good too

 

oops as usual i didn't read it properly.
that money should do you provided the mrs don't want to be taken to posh restaurants every night.
if mrs want somewhere to go shopping take a bus down to hat yai

as westy says
definately worth a trip across to the other side if that's your cup of tea

 

 

Just noticed this thread....

I just got back from there on Saturday (Pattaya) - spent £1500 in 10 days..
Fantastic place though - went with 3 mates

 

krabi is excelent, couple of my m8s have been and I'm off there for nearly all of this december
may c u there

 

14 nights in krai is faar too long..

ideally you want to split it up..

say a few nights in bangkok, then over to krabi.. then visit another island.. say koh samui..


its really nice there

 

May very well see you there!
where are you staying mate?

 

sawadee ka,and sawadee krap! for girl and man,

the man gets krap!,thats a hello in thai! coop kon krap is thank you to a man and ka to a woman. ni ni noi noi! means little chilli ,small amount.

ive been to thailand in 99-2000,and even BURMA!

its a superb place,im going back too when wee-one can manage the 12hr flight,

went to (wait for it),bangkok,chaing mai ,chaing rai,phuket,golden triangle,the kwai river,the jeath railway,krabi 12 nights,spent a long time there,but ive been other places since so my thai is lost for now,

seen the karen tribe,been with the coke headed elephant trainers,tuk-tuks,loads of cheap internal flights on brand new planes,seen the muang thai boxers fight,the dancers oh its fuckin excellent!,,you will seriously enjoy it,the people are freindly,but have a funny way,(they wont loose face!),
the golden temple in bangkok is a must,get a personal guide,cost as much,as an organised tour ,but far far better,use their longtail boats(noisey bus engined long skinny boats),see the smog in the city,

stayed in krabi resort,for twelve nights,in bungallows,hot in the south ,like the food,its bitter in the north,sweet in bangkok,and spicey in the south,

take whiskey,they love scotch,and will pay lots for good stuff,even a small half litre, try their mekong whiskey(with rotting snake in it),made from mekong river water.

money is baht,and we spent about 15 hundred quid for the first three weeks,but that was honeymoon time,and lots done and spent,we arranged our internal flights in britain,just remember to ring to confirm your time in thailand before leaving the hotel,(the desk clerk will do it free),we flew to phuket,and taxied 4hrs to krabi,(listening to AQUA non stop in the taxi)fookin barbie girl,makes us smile now tho!that was before the flights went there from bangkok int.if you stay in bangkok for a few nights,you get a limo to your hotel,pay at the desk and (about 500baht)and itll take you there,(we stayed in THE BELL AIR PRINCESS,of suhkumvit road,"a main road in bangkok,

take as much as you can,cause its a long way to go and not be able to do somethingyou would love to.(we went microliteing too"chaing mai")videoed it,the skwealy music with the off beat is everywhere(like a thai boxing fight)

you will love it!,take the precausions needed,jabs pills etc,plenty of mozzy repelent,(one bite can give you malaria,which is NOT curable),we had larium,(methlaquin) anti malaria pills,they make you photogenic,and the sun hurt me bad!,"side affect of the tabs,,and the sea around (andaman sea)has flying fish,and basking,whale and other types of shark,the water has boiling bits in it too,like a kettle no lie.but the scenery is one of the best in the world.

last tip,REMEMBER to save money for your homeward journey ,as when you go to your departure gate,you HAVE to pay your tax,and its not cheap,ours was 600baht each the first year,and 750 the second,

take your credit card for emergencies and get your travel insurance before you go!,hospitals are not free.or docs.the food is great! no shits the times ive been,dont drink their water,even bottled for teeth cleaning,i know of someone who got CHOLERA/TYPHOID

happy hols. hope this helps,any questions pm me

 

not sure exactly where we are staying been too busy lately to find out
all organised by 1 of my m8s, doing a lot of rock climbing as well as scuba diving & some bike trekking.
I will be easy to spot being a 6'2 bright red english bloke
