Travel Thailand Cheaply With a Partner or Friends

Share Rides and Food
And the savings don’t stop there! When you consider taking taxis, Ubers, or tuk-tuks around towns, or shuttles to your next destination, more people means you can split the cost of the ride. If you’re a solo traveler you’re going to pay a tuk-tuk driver the same amount as you would with a couple of other people. The same goes for an Uber in Bangkok or a taxi in Phuket.
While it’s true that the food at markets and restaurants is pretty cheap compared to western countries, eventually you’re going to get tired of having to go out for every single meal. One of the perks of having an entire Airbnb house to yourselves near the beach in Phuket is that you can shop for groceries at the store, keep them in a refrigerator, and eat when you want to from the comfort of your patio or terrace.
Let’s also not forget that as a group, you’ll be saving a ton on Chang Beer by purchasing it at the store and drinking them at your house!
