Typical Costs When Travelling
Accommodation – Most accomidation will be affordable, especially if you plan to stay in mostly hostels. But, Thailand is definitly the place to splurge! Thailand is known to have amazing accommodation for great value. You can find 3-5 star resorts for amazing prices!
Food – As a veggie eater I really enjoyed the local food! The local food is usally very cheap as well.
Transportation – My suggestion to getting around is via scooter exploring on foot if possible. Unfortunatley, you do need an international license to drive a scooter. If you don’t have one then I suggest using public transportation. There are always numerous ways to get from place to place in Thailand, usually by minivans, bus, or ferry. You can also use the transportation app Grab!
Suggested daily budget – 20-30 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you’re staying in a low to mid range guest house/hostel, eating local, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!) Although Thailand is known for being extremely cheap, I did not really experience this especially if you go to the islands or any hotspots. Activities and food seemed to be priced .

Bangkok
Don't be discouraged to explore this city! Many will say it's not worth it but large cities like this can still be amazing places to explore for 2-3 days.

One of the most beautiful seneries you will witness! It is a must for any Thailand itinerary.

Southeast Island hopping
The famous islands on Koh Toa, Koh Pagan, and Koh Samui!. These are amazing islands that are hotspots for tourist but definitely still worth the trip!.

Explore Phuket Town
If you head to the island of Phuket, Phuket Town is a must! Its like no other place I explored in Thailand. Its an amazing mix of modern, chic cafes and historical architecture.
