Dont think you get club card points
by jaxw17 about Tesco lotus
Before you go rushing out to buy the staple Thai buys check out Tesco Lotus and Big C supermarket.
All good are priced and really cheap. It also gives you a starting point for what prices you should be paying.
Get a tuk tuk and get the driver to stop with you. Share with someone else in your hotel even.
Example bought tiny chinese pyjamas for granddaughter for £0.89p in fact i went mad on clothes for them. T. shirts good value some trainers etc As i said really cheap and no bartering
Irish Pubs
by pmarshuk about Molly Malone's and Scuffy Murhy's
The two bars are under the same management and are virtually identically themed. Molly Malone's is on the Beach Road and Scruffy Murphy's is on Bangla Road. They both feature live music and can get very lively. One good thing about them was that they did not allow unaccompanied Thai girls in to keep out the street girls. However this does mean that if a Thai girl wanted to go out for a drink there she had to get somebody to escort her. Casual.
Inexpensive Airfare
by stappm
Air Asia has the best rates I have found in and around SE Asia and Thailand.
I usually fly last minute and 1-way (cause who knows where i'll want to go next) And have always gotten a great price with Air Asia.
Recently, I even booked the same day and got 1-way fare Phuket to BKK for $23 USD. the other low cost airlines are competitively priced as well, but, for me, Air Asia has larger routes (more cities serviced). I usually book online and they do offer better prices with advanced purchase. However, if and when you book the same day as travel or within 24 hours, you cannot do it online and must reserve a ticket on the phone and then pay for it at the ticket counter at the airport before check-in (2 separate counters at BKK and SIN)
The planes are well kept and free seating (like SouthWest in the states). Other great low-cost airlines: Nok Air, Bangkok Air, Tiger Air and JetStar Air ( Phuket or Bkk to Singapore), One Two Go by Orient Thai Air. .... all are great low cost carriers in and around Thailand.

1 thing to watch out for - all the Asia carriers (Thai Air included) have a 15 kg luggage limitation and charge 30-60 BHT per kg over. So your luggage could be more expensive then your person. If you are returning to an area and do not need all your baggage check with your hotel or storage at the airport for leaving it behind. Luggage Storage at BKK is 90 BHT per day (can add up fast) and is located in the International Terminal.
