Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Use SuperRich or Value Plus exchange booths near BTS stations like Nana or Asok for the best rates; avoid airport booths and hotel desks, which often give 5-10% less.
Visa/Mastercard widely accepted in malls, hotels, and chain restaurants; street stalls and small shops are cash-only. Contactless is common in big stores, but don't rely on it for small purchases.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated: round up taxi fares (e.g., pay 70 baht for a 65 baht ride) and leave 20-50 baht for hotel staff. Restaurants often add a service charge; if not, leave 10-20 baht per meal.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small iced or hot black coffee from street vendors or local coffee carts costs around 25-40 baht.
A plate of pad thai, fried rice, or noodle soup from a food stall or small shop run around 40-60 baht.
A main dish at a local restaurant (like stir-fry or curry with rice) typically costs 60-100 baht.
Sukhumvit Soi 38 (near Thong Lo) and the stalls around Nana BTS are known for cheap eats; look for plastic-chair setups with locals queuing.
Tesco Lotus, Big C, and 7-Eleven are common budget supermarkets in this area; these offer good-value snacks, drinks, and basics.
For affordable clothes, check the stalls at Platinum Fashion Mall or MBK Center (both a short BTS ride away) – expect bargain prices for t-shirts and jeans.
BTS Skytrain is the cheapest way around 10160: a single trip is 17-44 baht, or get a Rabbit Card (top-up card). From the airport, take the Airport Rail Link to Makkasan then BTS to 10160 – total under 60 baht, much cheaper than taxis (200-400 baht).
Always carry 500-1000 baht in small bills for street food and taxis. Drink tap water only from bottles; buy large 1.5-litre bottles at 7-Eleven for 14 baht. Avoid tuk-tuks – they overcharge badly; use BTS or Grab if you must take a taxi.
