How to Eat Cheap at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport

[keenok100]

U know one of the great things about Thailand is that everything is priced so that even the poorest of Thais are generally taken care of. Prices for the noodles soups were 30-35 bt, the same as from a street vendor! Believe it or not there have been people inJAPAN who have literally STARVED to death in recent years! JAPAN where per capita income is about 50K$!! U will NEVER hear of such horrors in LOS!The rich in BKK are SUPER RICH, but that does mean the poor are starving!LOS has gud values!

[theonlypreciousyang]

I don't know quite yet BUT I know I will be able to afford retiring in America.. Look at our country- everything is going downhill- education system, medicare system, economy system.. Forget my retirement SSI cause I won't have one by the time I retire..

[theonlypreciousyang]

[retirecheapjc]

@theonlypreciousyang What's your plan?

[danielyehuda]

@jc i was there and even thou I'm not reiterating soon I'm going to prepare to stay there , I love the people and culture , I'm only 35. And I'm happy to find Thailand so early . Do u think I can live there In a good way with , 35000 baht a month? And I saw good prices in pattaya in a place called soi buakohao if u know it. Or nakula . ;-)

[retirecheapjc]

@danielyehuda Yea, a slam dunk at 35,000. Soi Buakohao if you want to live in a Hamilton Beach mixer and Nakula if you want a more sane pace of life but still close to everything.

[danielyehuda]

[retirecheapjc]

@danielyehuda Yea, why pay inflated airport prices? We are in Thailand after all!

[jonesingforsilver]

JC, Is this open 24 /7?

[retirecheapjc]

@jonesingforsilver Yes it is. They have a great little coffee stand in there too, but it's a little hard to find. Go all the way to the back and there is another small room to the right. Great coffee iced or hot espresso, mocha, latte, etc., for a dollar.

[retirecheapjc]

The reason it is pronounced by Thais as Soo-wan-a-poom is because they cannot pronounce the letter v and it comes out as a w. I know because I teach them English. But as it is spelled in English mine would be the correct English pronunciation. Anyway as long as people know where I am talking about then it's all good!
