Hahaha bro, so glad u share my sentiments. So let mi this 'newly wed' share more b4 my fuel of fire simmers down....
Regarding the currency exchange thingy, from a poor chiongster point of view, it does matter on where you change ur money.
Due to stiff competition there, i would say arcade provides the best rate.
Let me use myself as an exp to gif u a rough breakdown on the slight difference which could make an impact in a poor monger's expense in los...
For instance, in the past , i change my thai baht at bishan j8 money changer(near the lift one), its exchange rate is 24.6 i think( this one roughly).
In arcade where i change now, the exchange rate is easily 25.0.
Lets say i want to change 1k sgd to pay my hotel stay and everything else in patts, i stay 4 nights lah.
In bishan, i get : 24.6 x 1000 = 24600
In arcade, i get: 25.0 x 1000 = 25000
If i change in arcade , i have an extra change of 400 baht.
What can i do with 400 baht???
1) if i am taking cab frm airport to my hotel, i can tip the cab driver. The rest i can tip the waitresses i met in all the clubs i went in 4 nights( i think enuff.)
2) if i take bus via bell service, i can pay off de bus fare. The change i think enuff for me to go kfc eat the spicy chicken rice which comes wif large coke , i think it costs 75 baht lah.
3) i can take the money go minimart buy the durex big box( 12 condoms inside). Still got change for small toothpaste and soap i think...
Lolx... I only list 3 ways on how i would spend te xtras i received. Its up to ur imagination how u wanna use it.
For well to do bros who worried abt parking and so on, no point making the trip lah. But for bros who take pub transport like me, i stay serangoon , when i take mrt to raffles place to and fro, it costs less than 3 bucks i think( chicken rice more ex in sg lolx).
I may sound cheap charlie but i think its nothing wrong wif tt lah. Just dun overdo it. Dun cheapskate until everything u wanna argue wif the ppl at thailand there , u b fine lah . I would say money spent on gals' LD should not save as u need to help her abit to make her feel comfortable wif u and its also makes her high which may aid her showing in the bed later lolx... If u not really a drinker, then go for draft beers like me lah during HH lah hahahahaha...
Oh ya u go the pasar malam or outside market there buy things pls try to bargain, dun let them chop u even if the original price u feel is cheap, it can go cheaper lolx.... If u wanna buy thailand or pattaya shirts( just like me as it looks awesome lolx), pls go outside walking street buy, mayb go to naklua buy even better. I remember first time i buy t shirts near mike mall there which is not far away from WS, i felt chopped as the price at naklua was way cheaper lol. So take note on this lol.
Oh ya, lastly, i bought the black singlet wif the white writing : 'good guy goes to heaven, bad guy goes to pattaya." i tot of buying the "no xxx please" t shirt too. Any other interesting t shirts to look out for? Hee
