Bangkok gives best bang for Songkran baht

Visitors splashing out for Songkran can get the most bang for their baht in Bangkok, according to the world’s largest travel site.

The Thai capital holds the best value for visitors compared to Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya, according to a study from TripAdvisor which compared daily spending by tourists in the four cities.

Celebrating in Bangkok averages THB3,357 per day, while visitors will get soaked in the other popular locales of Phuket (THB5,154), Chiang Mai (THB4,389) and Pattaya (THB3,808).

TripAdvisor spokeswoman Jean Ow-Yeong said the study compared expenses for four- to four-and-a-half-star accommodation, eating out, transportation, massages, spa services and of course, equipping oneself with weapons of mass saturation, according to NNT.
