It is very cheap here and more so if you avoid the tourist spots. Food that cost 30 baht at the food stall in Pattaya cost 20 baht here.
Here a large Leo or Chang in a farang place costs 60 Baht, in a local spot it costs 50/45 baht :D I know the wholesale price and its not much more than a 5 baht profit for them.
