Dancealot 16,672 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) 17500 in Tescos... If your not buying electrical equipment or that stuff, tell us how you managed to hit that number in there? He has mentioned clothing but at Tesco it still wouldn't help to get to the 17K mark. I fear it's the unexpected ham that got to him Edited June 11, 2013 by Dancealot Link to post Share on other sites

Kan Win 2,037 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) As the Thai's always say "Check Bill" , so the OP should have at least "Check his own Bill" which as mentioned was a bit steep for food and boys cloths from Lotus. Tesco's is owned by a UK firm that does not live in Thailand jackr so you are correct. Kan is still good for Thai food and bits and bobs.

krisb 5,919 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 This should just be titled I can't believe I spent 17500 in Tescos Don't blame Issan.Soup at our local kitchen is still only 15 baht but 20 for me, big bowl thanks.. Link to post Share on other sites
Lancelot 1,219 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 A buddy of mine commented that the cost of living in Isan has risen. He brought his wife to Pattaya and she felt that prices for food were actually lower here. Before I get flamed, just repeating what I was told. I have noticed inflation here in Pattaya as well. My neighborhood restaurant increased the price of all rice dishes by 5 baht- still affordable One restaurant serving German food increased entrees by 10 baht, again still affordable but when coupled with a weak USD, it adds up. I was in the USA for most of 2012 and noticed a lot of inflation there as well. Just the way it is... Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post GreenSnapper 908 Posted June 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2013 Been to Tokyo, and at the supermarket prices for almost anything, including imports, are lower than in Bangkok. While the quality and hygiene is much higher, wages and rents are much higher. Thai Baht need to devalue at least 20%. It's ridiculous having first world prices and third world standards. 9 Link to post Share on other sites
krisb 5,919 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey op, my wife agrees with you. Its definately more expensive. I disagree with your last sentance though, its still cheap, cheap enough to be affordable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Huayrat 639 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Still cheap living hear in isaan.. my rent is only 6000 baht per month for a 3 bed bungalow.. much much cheaper here than anywhere else in Thailand.. Link to post Share on other sites
mickjn 256 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 When I was in Nan last February the only thing I could find to eat in town was rice soup... at about 35 baht a bowl. That is all I could find after stopping in about 15 cafes. I'm sure there must be some proper restaurants but I couldn't find any. I was finally stuck eating at my hotel's buffet for about 250 baht. I can get a nice Thai meal in Chiang Mai for 40 baht. Its lights out at Nan at 8pm up at 5 am,beautiful place Link to post Share on other sites
