Trip Summary

General plan

We had 16 days, in total, including the international flights. We wanted to include Thai culture (temples), Bangkok atmosphere, Khaosan experiences, parties, romantic islands, white sands, sunbathing, snorkeling, romantic dinners, wild animals – and… shopping. We considered the 3 basic parts commonly traveled: Bangkok, the north, and the islands. We decided that due to the short time, and to minimize the percentage of days we have to pass moving from one location to another, we will leave the ‘north’: Chang Main Chang Rai and even Kanchanaburi to some other time. We think it was a wise decision.

Some of the sights, experiences and activities of the ‘north’ you can have in some of the islands themselves, so we planned our trip as:

Cost

All values are related to September 2006, when 1 US$ = approx. 38 Thai Baht.
The entire journey, excluding shopping and international flights (but including domestic ones) cost 2,000US$, for both of us, traveling as a couple, of course (i.e. taking double-bad rooms).

Regarding the expenses level, we consider ourselves ‘one-or-two’ levels above backpackers, but not 'demanding', ‘spoiled’ or luxury tourists.
Not sure that this ‘definition’ will help anyone estimate his expected cost for such journey – so you can take more detailed information, below.

Some example for cost of things: Pad-Thai on the street: 15-20B; Pad-Thai in island’s restaurant: 120B; Coca-Cola: 20B; Beer: 50B; foot massage: 250B, Macdonal’s big-mac meal: 125B
