Hi everyone! It's your boy Hash and welcome back to my channel.

Today we are here in Thailand and I'm going to be showing you just how cheap it can be to travel.

That's why I'm going to take this challenge where I will be spending only $20 which is ₱751 or about ₱1,120.

This price includes accommodation and right now I'm in Mike's room.

I met Mike. He's a long time friend but I just met him.

Part of the budget is accommodation and I'll be showing you where I'm staying.

If your budget can be this small, you can't really be picky but it's a good way to save money when traveling.

Right now I'm staying in a hostel. I have a shared dorm. My room was like $7 or ₱250.

So here you can see the bed. Curtains are here. There's a light and there's a charger.

It comes with a blanket, towel. That's it.

Now we will be looking for food and let's see if we can do anything fun.

This is all my money.

That's all I can spend for fun, for food, for drinks, for everything today.

So we're here in the market.

Let's see if there's anything I can eat or buy here.

If you know me, I love mangoes.

So there's three color rice. White, pink, blue.

I wonder if the taste is different.

Coconut.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

So she gave me some freshly made coconut sauce.

Then she poured it onto my mango.

Let's see.

So this is only 40 baht which is $1.10 or like ₱65.

Let's try the pink rice.

Pink.

I think the same.

It's actually really nice even if it's the rice.

This is just dessert so I'm gonna have breakfast soon.

Let's go.

Small life hack.

If you need to save money, at least let your friend pay.

We're getting you to pay so we can stay within the budget.

I'm joking.

I should have 425 left after the large sticky rice mango.

But I wanted more dessert.

Dessert before breakfast and we're gonna have breakfast.

Dessert before breakfast and we're gonna try this 15 baht butter and sweet condensed milk bread.

This is sweetened condensed milk.

I already had the mango sticky rice and this butter condensed milk toasted bread.

So far so good because everything so far has been really cheap.

But I haven't had any proper meals yet so we'll go look for better ones now.

We want variety so we're gonna go check different places.

So you can also see the country and how cheap it is.

So I wanted the smoothie bowl but it's too expensive for me.

I think 160 baht is like 4 dollars.

220 pesos or so.

It's too expensive. I can't afford that.

But it looks good.

I'll just look around today.

Part of being on a budget is you have to find cheap drinks.

So I'm looking for bottled water.

So we found 5 baht water.

It's very small.

Pwede na.

Which is which.

It's like really clean here in Thailand.

And the roads are like very very clean.

Let me show you.

It's only 15.

Can I have almonds?

It's like really soft waffle and a bit of flavor.

A bit sweet.

15 baht.

There's so many cheap snacks here that even if I'm on a budget,

I can afford to try almost all of them.

So they're not skipping the toppings.

They put a lot of like chicken or meat in it.

And it's like very very cheap.

15 baht which is 25 pesos or like 40 cents.

They were really generous with the chicken as you can see here.

And my friend was like,

you think it's because you have a camera focused on them that they put more?

I said I don't know but it was a lot.

So I thought they put ketchup.

But I think the chicken has flavoring.

It's so good and so cheap.

Okay, so that's it for breakfast.

We're gonna walk around and see anong pwede ngawin before mag-lunch kami.

But yeah, nanong pinain.

Tapos,

I don't think I even spent 100 baht yet.

So far so good.

We'll see what I can eat for lunch and for dinner.

Everything's like within walking distance.

It's like a 10 to 30-minute walk max around the city.

Some activities can be cheap because if you're like in a group tour,

it's gonna cost even less.

Me and Mike signed up for the Sticky Waterfall and it's 2,000 baht.

But the more people that goes with us, the cheaper it will be.

So right now it's 1,000 baht each.

If someone else joins, it's 666 each.

And it keeps going lower.

You can also rent a moped like a small one.

I'm not sure like what license you need to drive a moped here

but I don't think everyone has like an international license.

But many places offer like bike rentals for the whole day for very cheap.

Probably like $2 for a whole day, I think.

Maybe even less.

I think our hostel actually offers free bikes.

Naglakad lang kami ni Mike

because we don't know how bike-friendly it is.

But it seems to be pretty bike-friendly in some areas naman.

We're here at the mall and I don't think I can afford anything

but it's free to look.

I got fridge magnets.

This is 59 baht, mga 100 pesos.

Just under $2 for this.

Kasi ganito yung gusto niya Alexis.

Every time mag-travel ako sa ibang city,

yan lang request niya.

Ref magnets from each city or country na hindi niya pa napuntahan.

Hi, can I get this?

Only one.

Let's go.

Only one of us could afford Starbucks.

I was him.

Starbucks in Thailand is a bit more expensive than in the Philippines.

So we went around the mall.

I played a few times sa machine.

Spent 30 baht which is almost a dollar.

Three attempts, I didn't get anything.

I was really hoping to get Alexis something but

malas ako unfortunately.

So we already checked out one of the mall.

We'll just walk around, maybe have a late lunch later

and then night market.

Can I have passion fruit smoothie?

Medyo kulang sa lasa.

I told her a little sugar.

It is a little watered down.

Pero she used three passion fruits

and was only 30 baht which is like less than a dollar.

So we're going to have a late lunch.

We're going to have a late lunch.

We're going to have a late lunch.

We're going to have a late lunch.

Medyo kulang sa lasa.

It's sour.

Can I have chicken khao soi?

One.

Yes.

Today's meal is 30 baht and 50 baht.

Khao soi is like a very famous dish

in the northern part of Thailand.

It's like curry, noodles and chicken.

So this is coconut milk curry broth.

So I love curry.

Let's see how this tastes.

So dito ako sa night market.

So before we left the hostel,

there was a big group of people

who were going to the night market.

Sabi ko, we should go with them.

And we did.

There was like a dozen of us nagalakad lang.

It's like super easy to make friends

and go out with other people kasi.

You can just say hi to anyone

that's traveling

and you can go with them.

He couldn't win.

He's buying it instead.

Best of one.

So we're back.

It's 11.33 p.m.

Hindi ako nag-dinner kasi

dami akong kinain actually

yung khao soi.

Medyo mabigat yun.

And I have 206 baht.

I'm not sure if that's right.

I might have lost money.

Maybe just fell off my pocket.

If it did, it's a very small amount.

Anyway, so I have 206 baht.

And we're gonna take this even further

kasi tomorrow we are going

to a sticky waterfall excursion.

And the price is actually 2,000 baht.

Minimum.

The more of you goes,

the less it will cost.

If it's 2,000 baht for one person,

if you bring 10 people,

it's 200 baht each.

It goes as low as 200 baht.

So I have enough just to get there.

But yeah.

So I'm just gonna show you

how far my money reached today.

Paid for my accommodation,

my drinks,

my food,

and lots and lots of snacks

with change.

And I will show you the excursion tomorrow

because it's like an hour away each way.

We leave at 10 a.m.

and we'll be back at like 5 p.m.

And all I'm spending for is 200 baht.

Of course, I'll pay for my food.

I hope you learned a lot from this video

like how cheap it can be to travel.

Of course, you can increase your budget

and live more comfortably.

But I'm just showing you how cheap it can get

and the social aspects of the hostel.

Why?

Because the hostel is like really fun

because you can literally go up to anyone there

and you wanna hang out with them.

You wanna go somewhere.

Let them know.

If you want ideas on like what to do,

really, really good idea to ask them.

It feels different.

Like the texture is very wet, sticky mud.

Knowing how cheap it is,

you wanna comment down

if you would consider saving up

to travel to a place like this.

Now, people might think, you know,

traveling needs to be with someone

when a lot of people here are traveling alone.

Actually, even girls are traveling alone.

Like it's very safe,

especially in these areas

because, you know,

there's a reason a lot of people come here and do it

and they're not really afraid to do it alone

because they hear experiences of these people coming back

and like, oh, it's like really good.

I was alone.

Meet a bunch of people.

I personally like the whole social aspect of the hostels

and don't be scared to travel on a budget

and try these hostels.

So I tried to do another one in Vietnam

just to show you guys

the more expensive side to traveling in these countries.

Honestly, I think it's gonna be pretty cheap

and you'll be surprised

just how far your money gets you.

So yeah, if you enjoyed the video,

Bye.
