'I bought breakfast, lunch and dinner in Thailand and price left me floored'
One man who bought breakfast, lunch and dinner in Bangkok, Thailand admitted he was stunned by the price of it all. He went online to talk about his travel experience
One man who went to get breakfast, lunch and dinner in Thailand admitted he couldn't believe the price of it all. Ryan Losasso is one half of the popular award-winning TikTok travel content creation duo 'Live The Dash' alongside Jade Beaty.
He went out into the streets of Bangkok, Thailand's capital city to buy his three meals on a budget. Bangkok is known for its bustling street life, including street food and markets. One of the most famous street food dishes is pad Thai, a classic stir-fried noodle dish with shrimp, egg and peanuts. Ryan took his TikTok viewers along with him as he explored the Thai food scene and couldn't believe the price of his breakfast, lunch and dinner.
To start his culinary journey the travel influencer went to Siam House Cafe where he opted for a traditional Thai breakfast that was made up of egg, pork meat and toast for just £1.50.
Taking a bite of his meal, he said 'mmm' and reported that his breakfast was a 'roaring success.'
Next he moved onto lunch where he picked up a ham and cheese toastie and a bottle of water from 7-Eleven for £1.05.
Ryan continued: 'I do not have much left for dinner but let's see what we can do.' He 'scoured Bangkok's streets' for an affordable dish and spotted Hai Som Tam Convent where he tucked into a pad Thai for £2.30.
In total Ryan's breakfast, lunch and dinner from Bangkok cost him a mere £4.85. Bangkok is a foodie paradise as it offers a 'mix of delicious street food, budget-friendly restaurants and hidden gems serving world-class Thai cuisine', according to H and L Blogs.
The travel blog website claims that Bangkok's 'cheap eats are everywhere', such as wok-fried noodles in Chinatown or 'authentic local curries served for just a few Baht in local markets.'
One Thai Baht is equal to 0.023 Great British Pounds so it is very easy to eat out on a budget in Bangkok.
H and L Blogs has listed some of the best budget food spots in Thailand's capital city, including Yaowarat (Chinatown), best for street food like noodles and seafood, Or Tor Kor Market for fresh Thai ingredients and local dishes and Soi 38 Sukhumvit, a classic Bangkok night market with affordable meals.
Trip Savvy states that the average cost of a basic Thai meal in a restaurant is 90 to 150 Baht (£2.02 to £3.37) and pad Thai noodles with chicken or tofu can be found at street carts and from simple restaurants for 35 to 40 Baht (£0.35 to £0.90).
It adds that the average cost for pad Thai in tourist places is around 50 Baht (£1.12) per plate.
Ryan's TikTok video showcasing how cheap it is to eat out in Bangkok has garnered thousands of views and likes and more than 100 comments.
One user simply said: 'Thailand is very affordable.' While another exclaimed: 'That pad Thai is a bargain!' A third described the cost of Ryan's three meals as 'so cheap.'

My brother got my name tattooed on his FACE – people think ‘it screams unemployment' & has ‘ruined his chances at love'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has left people gobsmacked after showing off her brother's new tattoo. Jozie Rorebeck explained that her sibling, Riley Rorebeck, recently surprised her with a forehead inking dedicated to her. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A woman has gone viral after showing off her brother's new tattoo Credit: TikTok/jozierorebeck 3 Not only did people say it would "ruin his chances at love", but others questioned how he would ever find employment with such a bold inking Credit: TikTok/jozierorebeck 3 Jozie claimed that Riley wanted his inking in the same place as rapper Lil Pepp Credit: Getty - Contributor Eager to show off the jaw-dropping tattoo tribute, Jozie took to social media to give her followers a close-up look at the inking, leaving many totally stunned. Alongside a short clip that has now gone viral, Jozie wrote: 'My brother got my name tatted on his face.' She then added: 'I'll absolutely never go to bed questioning if I'm loved EVER again.' To share his affection for his sister, the young man who already has tattoos on his arms and hands, got his sibling's name inked on his forehead. Jozie, who described Riley as her 'ride or die' explained that the placement of the tattoo was to replicate a similar inking to a famous American rapper and singer-songwriter. She confirmed that Riley wanted it in the same place and in an identical front as Lil Pepp, who has the 'Crybaby', his fourth mixtape, inked above his eyebrow. It comes eight years after the death of the artist, who was a rising star in the music industry. But the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @jozierorebeck just two days ago, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and amassed 1.3 million views. It has also racked up 174,400 likes, 1,566 comments and 6,717 shares. But social media users have been left totally divided by the man's large face tattoo. I never have to buy clothes as I've got them tattooed on & love it but trolls totally disagree While some thought it was 'adorable', others claimed it had ruined not only his chances at finding a partner, but also at securing a job too. One user gushed: 'Literally so sweet.' A second agreed: 'This is genuinely so adorable.' Whilst someone else chimed in: 'This is the sweetest thing ever.' But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one person said: 'Any sister in their right mind would never let their brother do that to themselves.' RIP his job applications TikTok user To this, Jozie replied and confirmed: 'My family and I had no idea he was doing this.' Meanwhile, another hater gasped: 'A face tat for your sis is crazy.' A third begged: 'Please say that's a temporary tattoo.' Which tattoos hurt the most? Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels. Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone. Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain. Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings. Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface. Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful. Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful. Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones. Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes. Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface. Source: Tatt2Away Someone else questioned: 'Is he never planning on having a wife or kids??' Similarly, another hater claimed: 'Ruined his chances at love.' Not only this, but others shared their concern for Riley's future career, as one user slammed: 'RIP his job applications,' and another suggested: 'Screams unemployment.'

But there was one bizarre condition. The tourist, who has over 75,000 followers on TikTok, said: 'I would stay there again, but the only thing is you couldn't be loud after 11pm." The strange rule stated that tenants had to be quiet after an 11pm curfew - despite it being located right above one of the busiest clubs in town. Graham explained: "You're above the busiest nightclub in Benidorm that closes at 5am so it's bouncing all night." The influencer shared a clip of the place on TikTok which amassed 758,000 views. In the video, Graham can be seen touring the cheap flat with an open plan kitchen-living area, two sofa beds and a TV. The apartment has stunning views of the holiday hotspot, and big open windows. There is a huge bathroom with a walk in shower, as well as two single beds in an airy bedroom with a balcony. He also showed a wraparound balcony with multiple pieces of furniture and views of the swimming pool, sea and strip. Sunbed wars take place at hotel used in filming of tv show Benidorm Graham captioned the post: 'Take a look at this Benidorm.' He said: "We always find cheap places. 'The cost of them puts people off but we have stayed in some hotels that cost a fortune and then had a cheap £160-a-week apartment that is a lot better. "Don't let the price put you off." He added: "We have stayed in some really rough places too - it's not all good when it's cheap - but 90 per cent of the time they are sound." His post has received hundreds of comments online with many slamming the apartment for being too noisy. One user said: 'Ye get no sleep to much noise. Stayed there.' Another added: 'Poor man's Dubai.' One even said that when staying there, they couldn't get any sleep. 'I stayed there years ago … no sleep for 4 days," they said. Meanwhile another user chimed in: 'Stayed there so loud.' 5 Furious social media users jumped online to slam the hotel's rule Credit: Jam Press/@Benidorm_grumet1
