The longer you stay in Thailand, the better the price-performance ratio will be. The rule of thumb also applies in Thailand that it is much cheaper in remote, less touristy areas than in tourist strongholds. Nevertheless, popular vacation spots like Koh Samui are alsoor Phuket is still very cheap compared to European standards. For example, you can find beach bungalows in Lamai on Koh Samui for around 500 baht a night, which corresponds to around 11 euros depending on the course. Food and public transport are very cheap. On Lamai you can eat lobster for around 7 euros. If you like it really inexpensive, it is best to go to the Tesco Lotus supermarket in the late afternoon or evening and look for reduced lunch menus. These are already cheap anyway. Shortly before the shop closes, however, the prices drop extremely, so that soups are available from 3 baht and rice meals from 7 baht. So you can get a nutritious meal for less than 20 cents.
