10 things to do in Thailand

One can definitely have a cheap trip to Thailand if you stay away from the touristy areas and research from home what activities to plan while maintaining finance during the trip. Let’s see what fun things you can do in Thailand when you are on a budget.

Here are 10 things to do in Thailand while on a budget

1. Eating Cheap in Thailand
Food in general is pretty much affordable in Thailand, but when you are on a tight budget even that seems expensive. One can have a taste of Thailand’s cuisine even by having a local street food, so avoid the fine dining and stick to the local street food on street carts that are found on the main sides of almost every other road.

2. Explore Asiatique Riverfront
The famous mall and the night bazaar, Asiatique Riverfront is a place where you can literally find anything. The bazaar is divided in a way where you can find small boutiques, souvenir shops, town square district as venues for bars and events, waterfront district where high end restaurants are made and factory districts that have gadget stores and designer fashion brands.
