As a European: how do you spend tens of thousands here on vacation?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A ringgit is equivalent to 0.19 Euro. Spending 20,000 ringgit would be about 4k euro. 4k for an international family vacation is probably a reasonable estimate.

That'd be a super cheap international vacation unless they're just staying for the weekend.

I went with the smallest amount that qualified as "tens of thousands" to illustrate the point.
