Just got back from a solo trip to Thailand and I’m amazed at how cheap it can be if you’re careful with your spending. Here’s how I did it on a tight budget:
Flights: Found a round-trip flight for $650. Definitely book ahead, because last-minute flights can be a lot pricier.
Accommodation: Stayed in guesthouses for about $15 a night. You can find some nice, clean places for that price. Total for accommodation was $105.
Food: If you’re into street food (and who isn’t?), you can survive on $10–$15 per day. Thai street food is super affordable and really tasty, so I ended up spending around $100 for the week.
Activities: Did a lot of sightseeing—temples, parks, and markets—almost all free! I did spend around $60 on a day trip to the islands (really worth it, though).
Final total for me was around $1,000 for the whole week. No complaints! If you're not picky about accommodations and love street food, you can definitely have an awesome trip on a budget.
