Bangkok Joins 100 Most Expensive Cities
Re: Bangkok Joins 100 Most Expensive Cities
Perhaps if considering prime Bangkok and including optional expenses, 90th may be right.
No doubt this is looking at the best areas for expats assigned here for large corporations.
As a tourist, the place is full of anomalies. A visit to Starbucks costs more than in London. Yet in Sukhumvit, I had a fine meal for just 40 baht. Getting there on the MRT cost just 21 baht & no doubt the bus would have been half that.
A room in a perfectly satisfactory hotel like the Baan Som Ski 3 can be had for just over 1200.
