A tough question to answer. It depends entirely on the type of traveler you are, but Thailand is a generally affordable country that caters for both backpackers, as well as luxury holiday makers. Food on the affordable side can range from 50 Thai Baht (THB) to 120 THB, while treating yourself to a high end meal can cost anywhere between 180THB to 550 THB. Different islands also price things differently, so a beer in Phuket can be 120 THB while the same beer in Koh Tao would be 50 THB. Excursions also play a huge role in expenditure, as prices can range from 600 THB to 3800 THB depending on what it is you’re doing. We personally felt comfortable on 1500 THB per day, and think it’s a good middle ground to work from.
