Just purchase anything from a street vendor for around 100 yen equivalent. Japanese food is 'prestigious' and costs about 300 to 1000 yen for a meal. Traffic is a nightmare in inner Bangkok. Subway, canal boat or sky train only if you value your time. It can be difficult to find computer and camera stuff for newegg.com prices


I live on the Skytrain.

My experience, shopping for electronics on my round-the-world trip, is that the US (especially Newegg) is the cheapest place in the world for quality electronics, thanks to a combination of competition, large market, and low sales tax.

Note I said quality electronics, not the horrible knockoff stuff you can buy in the developing world.


Oh, I lived off of street-vendor food in Beijing, no problem, and I love Thai food. But I'd still kill for my weekly bi-bim-don. :)
