Flopzilla, it's pretty great for a lot of other things too and it's inexpensive

Cross post, but I know that most of you guys don't frequent OOT, and like food.

So a guy walks into a high end butcher shop and says “Holy **** that rack of prime rib looks amazing, in the words of Mac Mall – ‘I gots 2 have it’”. He then goes home and sous vides it.









I wrote up the process at http://www.eatdrinkcheer.com/?p=842.

I am guessing several of you guys have been to thailand?

I am considering taking a two week holiday there next month, but it is a bit above budget. What should we expect to pay for meals? We are staying in a hotel near patong beach in phuket, and we typically just like to eat in random simple restaurants. What should I expect to pay for a meal, a beer, a cocktail, stuff like that?

meals- super ****ing cheap. a few $ per meal usually. i don't think you should pay more than $10 per meal, and usually much cheaper.

you can get beers fairly cheap too.

overall, thailand is pretty cheap. the flight is easily the most expensive thing (at least for me- i'm from the U.S.).

Other people will be able to handle this better than me, as its been a few years since I was there but:

Western food you will play close to what you would pay at home, though it may be slightly cheaper.

Thai food at simple restaurants would probably cost you maybe $3-4/meal, thai food from really simple places (which often have some amazing food) would be $1-2/meal.

Beers at a bar are ~$1, though it would go up for fancier places. Mixed drinks probably $2, and cocktails 3?

It's been about 4 years, so others will have more useful advice, but its a start. The only thing I remember for certain was that Heineken's at most bars cost me $1.50 NZ, so 1E?

Western food is going to be marked up around Patong, but if you are willing to eat thai food, especially street food, it is basically free.

as long as you can afford a 12K couch thailand isn't expensive Tickets are 750 euro a person so you should have a 2 week holiday for like 3k euro?

BKK is actually a decent food city, but anywhere else everything sucks bad except thai food.

lol, that's not overly surprising. u should ask her about it (seriously). would you be ok with it if it were purely physical? if not, i'd bet u could get a 3some out of it before you bail.

yeah i cant imagine eating anything other that thai food the vast majority of the time.
08-09-2012 , 02:11 AM
i eat 95% non thai food when im in thailand, thai food is just not very good in general
08-09-2012 , 03:30 AM
interesting. do you mean you dont like thai food as a cuisine, or you dont like the way most thai places cook thai?

i've never been but i just assumed thai's cooking thai would be great, because a lot of thai stir frys and curries are awesome and i figured they'd do it best.
08-09-2012 , 03:39 AM
usually thai food is poorly made, with poor quality ingredients and just doesn't taste that good despite being unhealthy. I like some dishes, but im a huge food nit and it just doesn't compare to other types of cuisine.
