If you have enough money, not bothered to eat in restaurants. But sometimes, it is cheaper to cook and saved money to spend on traveling around the country to experience left more.
I want to talk about the markets of Thailand. In tourist countries, even the markets are a tourist. Where is the question tourists, the price rises immediately, sometimes significantly.
