'I bought breakfast, lunch and dinner in Thailand and was shocked by the price'
Ryan Losasso, one half of the popular award-winning TikTok travel content creation duo 'Live The Dash' alongside Jade Beaty, headed to the streets of Bangkok, Thailand's capital city to buy his three meals on a budget.
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 in the city known for its bustling street life, including street food and markets.
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 €1.76, The Mirror reports.
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 €1.23.
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 €2.70.
In total Ryan's breakfast, lunch and dinner from Bangkok cost him a mere €5.69. 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 0.026 Euros so it is very easy to eat out on a budget in Bangkok.

How swimwear is taking a daring dive back to the 80s with thin gussets and sky-high cuts
SWIMWEAR trends, like every other part of fashion, come and go in waves. And this year we seem to be revisiting the '80s with super-high-cut bikini lines sure to leave you needing a Hollywood wax. 5 Former Love Islander Maura Higgins shows off her svelte figure in a barely-there bikini with a high cut 5 Kim K unveiled her latest Skims collaboration featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece Credit: Instagram/KimKardashian First made famous in that decade by supermodels such as And this time round, it's not just for celebs and reality telly stars - the high street is pushing us mere mortals to tackle thin gussets, too. Forget full briefs or bikini shorts, everywhere you look at the moment, from M&S to New Look and Primark, has hip-high cuts and bum-cheek-exposing cossies. With Love Island back on our screens and the women scantily clad in swimwear every episode, we expected to see a resurgence of the V-cut gusset. READ MORE ON FASHION And last week Kim Kardashian, 44, unveiled her latest Skims collaboration with Italian brand Roberto Cavalli, featuring a super-high-cut animal-print one-piece. Meanwhile, sister Kylie, 27, stepped out in a vintage Chanel swimsuit, with a sky-high cut, first worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995. Just a few weeks ago Miami Swim Week — the pinnacle of all swimsuit catwalks — saw a host of high V cuts, with TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini. Model Iris Law , 24, recently wore a black high-cut swimsuit, and former Love Islanders Zara McDermott, 28, have been showing off their svelte figures in them, too. Most read in Fabulous Gusset gauge Host of the reality show Of course, these women all looked phenomenal, but for the rest of us enjoying a break on the Costa Del Sol or taking a dip at the local swimming pool , it's not an easy look to pull off. Alisha Lehmann shows off her bikini body as she models new swimwear range Aside from the obvious extremely bare bikini line you need to have, there's also the probability you'll spend all your holiday sorting out your wedgie, or even worse a flash of some flesh you definitely don't want strangers to see. Yes, we expect to see these flimsy cuts at Gen Z fave brands like Nasty Gal and River Island. But I was surprised to see M&S selling this type of bikini bottoms, as the brand is renowned for selling comfortable underwear, particularly big 'granny'-style pants. It seems there is no escaping it if our sensible shops are hopping on board. You have to wonder why. There is a huge appetite for '80s nostalgia currently, across music and fashion, and there are parallels between the economies of back then and now — both decades are characterised by economic uncertainty and fluctuating inflation rates. 5 Zara McDermott, 28, stuns in the trendy bikini which is difficult to pull off Credit: Instagram 5 TikTok sensation Alix Earle, 24, strutting down the runway in a barely-there bikini at Miami Swim Week Credit: Getty 5 The swimwear was first made famous by supermodels such as Cindy Crawford, pictured, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington Credit: B915 We know about the hemline index, but could the gusset gauge be a more accurate indicator of how consumers feel about the state of the economy? Whatever the reasons, there are, of course, aesthetic benefits to high-cut swimsuits — they give the illusion of longer legs and a smaller waist. But if you are going to wear it, you really do need to commit to the trend — booking in for that wax and giving yourself a body-confidence pep talk, because there really is nowhere to hide.

Love Island hunk sparks concern as fans convinced he's suffered painful injury – did you see it?
LOVE Island fans are convinced Conor may have suffered a painful injury before the show after spotting a clue on the show. The rugby player, 25, recently sparked concern after he showed off his pearly white gnashers while in the villa. 4 Love Island fans noticed Conor's missing tooth on the right upper row Credit: Eroteme 4 Some viewers think it may be a result of a rugby injury Credit: Eroteme 4 Many viewers have defended Conor's natural teeth Credit: Eroteme Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show. One viewer wrote: "Not to be rude in the dental situation?" along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth. But many fans took to reddit to explain that the missing tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby. This person shared: "Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It's really not a big deal or anyone's place to judge." READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND A second said: "He's played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won't get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again." "Conor's teeth actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look nice . Also he's a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it's high contact," a third commented. Another added: "He's a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!" While several other people defended the star's natural teeth. Most read in News TV This viewer said: "It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He's attractive in any case. Better than the Turkey teeth."

Love Island star sparks fears she'll quit the show after tense bust-up saying 'she's going to walk' This person posted: "Teeth are unique to people? You're being rude. We don't all have turkey teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him." Conor's time in the villa hasn't been completely plain sailing after love interest She told heatworld in an interview: "It's so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago, and I never followed him back. "But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks. "Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one." She laughed: "So, yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later. "It's worked out for him now, I suppose." Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the ITV2 dating show.

Advertisement Another wrote: "Love this." THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
