Travelling Cheap

Patong Beach in Thailand is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in the world in terms of popularity. Some tourists even make it a habit to visit Patong every summer as the country offers tourist friendly rates (hostels from EUR6) with great service. As long as you observe precautionary measures from being scammed, you will always have a great time enjoying Patong and its beach.

A great idea if you really wanted to have fun while you’re in Patong beach is to hire help for the day. For only 100 Baht (around $3.00 – $4.00) you can have someone assist you in everything that you need on the beach. If you need a drink or a food, you just request it from your assistant and he or she will just go and get you what you need. Your assistant will stay with you for the rest of the day, even giving you tips on how to enjoy the beach and tell stories about the area.

But you don’t just get anyone as your guide. They might run off with your money and never come back. Get someone that is highly recommended by the hotel. As hotels wanted to keep their reputation intact, they will ensure security of their travellers and this is one way they can keep their clients happy.

Aside from the great service for a few dollars, the beach itself will offer a relaxing experience. You can enjoy the beach by yourself or with your partner and your assistant will be there in the shore guarding your personal belongings.
