Hey all, I’ve been to Thailand a couple of times, and I’ve learned that it’s really important to account for those little unexpected costs. Here’s how I planned for a comfortable week:
Flights: I got a deal for $750 round-trip, so no complaints there.
Accommodation: Stayed in a boutique hotel for $70 per night, so about $490 total. Had everything I needed—good privacy, great location, and a pool.
Food: I mostly stuck to street food but also had a few sit-down dinners at mid-range restaurants. Total for food was around $200 for the week.
Activities: I did a combination of free activities and some paid tours—about $100 for the whole week.
Miscellaneous: I like to budget a little extra for tips, souvenirs, and unexpected costs. I ended up spending around $75 on these things, including travel insurance (which I always recommend).
In total, I spent about $1,600. If you plan for little extras like tipping or last-minute activities, you’ll have an even smoother trip. But overall, Thailand is an absolute steal for the experience it offers!
