john luke Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Holliday Time - Do you spend more on drink than food?
Stillearly Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Probably about seven to ten times as much ..... ( including LDs )
Lanzalad Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I don't really count I spend what i like and eat what I want.
Lantern Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 That would be a daily thing. At home as well as on holiday. 1
thegrogmonster Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 YesEspecially now that I spend most of my drinking time at Murphy’s darkside. Around 160 baht for cider.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
nampla69 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 In Thailand yes as in Pattaya I buy lots of rounds and up in Isaan Esco land (me old Dutch mate) I tend to buy boxes of Leo and only really eat breakfast and a light fish type dinner. Just realised I don't eat lunch in isaan ........................ blimey its true. Beer gives glucose and fuel so why ???

IMO, if it can be OK for a few days on holiday it sure is, healthwise, a major disaster if done every day on the long term. Personally, I have cut my 2 daily large Bintang to zero when at the jungle house. Only water now when up there. And I have 3 proper meals a day. 2
Steelers4Life Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Don't drink for the 9 1/2 months I spend in the States. When abroad, I go out and drink maybe 2 or 3 times a week. So I guess, no. I spend more on food here obviously. In the LOS I spend more on food as well. Edited January 24, 2020 by Steelers4Life
bob lt Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 At least 6 times as much on alcohol as I spend on food 🍻
coxyhog Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Dunno what I spend on grub as the missus always buys it except on the very odd occasion when we eat out. I do know that I spend a lot on booze....but a bloke has to have a hobby doesn't he?
Freee!! Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 No as I don't drink beer, it is extremely immature whisky and I am not a cradle robber 😉

Esco Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 5 hours ago, john luke said: Holliday Time - Do you spend more on beer than food? Depends where on holiday, but if in Pattaya or similar that's rather easy. I eat mostly Thai food so spend probably around 500 baht per day on food for 3 meals a day, maybe a little more. At an average beer price of 80 baht that's around 6 to 7 beers. For some that's breakfast 🙂 2
Lirchenfeld Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Since I don't drink alcohol while the sun is up and keep 1 out of 3 days alcohol free, I will guess it ends at about the same amount +/- 1000 baht seen over a 3 week holiday. (other drinks such as coffee, milk, water, fanta etc not included, same goes for small food items such as chocolate, gum etc)
roomark Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Holiday ...Alcohol I'd say I spend less than 500 baht a day on food and only really eat Thai mostly street food.
Krapow Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Was thinking about this last night. I think I've spent most on taxis. Airport - Bangkok - Ayuttaya - Bangkok - Cha Am - Pattaya - Ayuttaya - Airport. But doubt renting a car, plus logistics of it would be less hassle, expense. If didn't have the child could do cheaper transport options, he little vans etc. But too much hassle with a child and everything needed for the child.

Single, married, with a child... all different life styles, and can't really compare them. Oops, and I forgot to add "pensioner" 😄😄😄
Pinoydave Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Food ....... have to keep the strength up !!!
boydeste Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I spend way more on drink than food but not necessarily beer than food. Beer vs food about even on long trips as I don't drink beer every day. On short trips then more beer for sure!
CalEden Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Yes! And that's only eating/drinking at home. 1
