AMAZING THAILAND: 13 in 5

Here are suggestions of 13 places to go/things to do in 5 days in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand! Amazing!!!


Affordable budget:  The whole 5 days would cost around a minimum of USD430 per person, for the following: 
Airfare USD45
Hotel accommodation w breakfast USD120
Tour package USD200.  (Entrance fees for the itinerary, except Ripleys, are covered by the tour package.)
Others USD65 (for meals not included in the tour package, entrance to Ripleys Believe It or Not & 3 massages!) .
For the pocket money and shopping budget, that's for you to decide!


Affordable fare from the Philippines.  Cebu Pacific Air offers promo seats for as low as USD45 from Clark or Manila.

Affordable place to stay:  Samran Place.  Conveniently located near shopping malls and at night, nearby food kiosks sprout PLUS very affordable massage parlor next door!  Perfect after a day's full tour!

Affordable meal:  The average price of a very decent and filling Bangkok meals should be about USD7 per pax.

Affordable tour:  It is advisable to get a tour because of the language barrier.  We got ours from Alex Holiday at USD200 per pax, very reasonable rate to include entrance fees (some with meals) and a very COMFY van to take us throughout our tour itinerary.  Ask for Pat as tour guide, she's very good.

Affordable way to go around:  Our group booked a tour, with service vehicle.  The locals there advised not to ride the tuktuk as most argue with tourists about the price.
