After I posted a report about our journey with the group, I asked how much it cost the participants to go to Thailand, they say, It is interesting to know in order to estimate your own budget independent travel. Yes, when I just announced our future route with a group, I wrote approximate prices and costs, but Now I myself was wondering what happened in reality. And since I keep a budget and write everything down into it, calculate the cost of a trip to Thailand was not difficult. Because such information may be useful to someone else who will gather in go by yourself, so I decided not to just answer in comments on this question, and lay out a separate post.

Trip format
So that I do not grovel for too long on what we have It was a trip with a group, just look at my report. Out of him You will get a full impression of how we rode, but not however, I will explain something.
The format of our trip was initially budget and, one might say, Bekpekersky. In total, we spent together 10 days, of which 2 days Were in Bangkok, 2 days in Pai, 3 days in Chiang Mai, and 3 days on Ko Chang, including travel. Since we are with travel participants turned out to be quite close in interests, then from morning to evening we We were together, and our leisure time was the same. We also ate about the same Thai food and lived in the same cheap hotels. I say this to the fact that I can only calculate my expenses (I I don’t know how much I spent), but I’m sure my expenses are weak different from how much the guys spent.
All calculations are based on the fact that we started from Bangkok, and returned to him. Although in fact we broke up on Koh Chang, but I thought it was here, as if we were gone to the capital. However, this is not a big difference in cost, just just one transfer.
What is the cost of a trip to Thailand if you are a traveler
The cost of a trip to Thailand
- Food: 2205 baht. We ate, as I recall, basically Thai food in small cafes, in food courts and at makashnits. Alcohol there were no restaurants and lobsters.
- Transportation: 6,770 baht. 3 times traveled by intercity bus, 3 times on the minibus, once on a tuk-tuk and a taxi, several times on shuttle bus, two times on the ferry. It also includes car rental. for two days with gasoline and rent a bike for 3 days. Respectively, if you take the car to several people, as we did, then the amount in The calculation for each will be much less.
- Accommodation: 4100 baht. I think the cost for doubles, that is, for a couple This amount can be divided in half. These were mostly inexpensive. guesthouses and bungalows, in half of the places there was air conditioning, in half not It was.
- Sightseeing: 2415 baht. Naturally there is only paid places: observation deck, two temples, elephant rides, national park, waterfall, kayak rowing, rope park.
Massages and other purchases, ala mosquito spray and Thai T-shirts are not considered too individual.
Total
It turned out 15,500 baht for 10 days independent travel.
If you add another flight from Moscow 25-30 thousand rubles (look I advise through Aviasales.ru or Skyscanner.ru), then we get the final amount for everything about everything per person. For me quite ok even when compared to cheap tours to Thailand given how many places we were and how many we saw. In the announcement of the route I laid just about such a sum, great that I was not mistaken in their calculations.
If you go less budget, you will stay in hotels. more expensive, order food more refined and make a couple of internal flights around the country, it makes sense to multiply the amount by two. AT If you need not independent travel with permanent displacement, and sea holidays and excursions, restaurants and bars, then approximate alignment of money.
Or vice versa, if you are going to spend the winter or just for a few months, that’s how much you could spend (budget option, and off-budget).
P.S. Consider, you can get a completely different amount, since Everyone has different needs and ideas about traveling. If there is Questions, well in the comments
