If you expect to get off a plane and stay for 5 days and go to a popular tourist spot and eat where all the tourists eat,you're going to pay tourist price- like those who commented.
I see people pay $3 for a meal I can get for $1.25 a block away.
Also alcohol in stores is pretty cheap, like 32 baht for a beer, but in bars and clubs - not so much, from 70 baht to 220 baht. And you can get cigarettes for around 60 bahts, menthol ones a little bit above a 100 bahts.
850-1000b from airport to patong
80-100b for beer in bar
150-200b for beet in club
300b for a meal
Was very dissapointed..
