Here we want to give you a rough overview of the costs, which come into Thailand to you and save money as you can! This is a very long post, which is worth it!

For an overview: 1 € = 43 Baht

Overnight:
Here there is everything from a simple room with fan to luxury bungalow with air conditioning. Here is a brief overview of prices. Basically you would in any place with a bit looking for a cheap hostel. Cheap hostel there is a simple room with bed and bath if you're lucky even to have the room. Most rooms at affordable price range, however, have shared Bathroom which is not really a problem NEN.

• Double room with fan: 200 Baht ¬ † (north) to 450 baht (The islands)
• Double rooms with air-conditioning of 400 baht (the north) to 1000 baht (The islands)

Food and drink:
If there is one country where one can eat well and cheaply, then it is definitely Thailand. We have always though it was possible to eat in kitchens because the food here is extremely cheap and also still very tasty. A big extra here is still that one usually only eat with the locals and get a completely different impression of Thailand and its culture.

• Fried Rice w / Chicken, food stall: 20-35 baht
• Fried Rice w / Chicken Restaurant: 80-100 baht
• Pad Thai w / Chicken, food stall: 30-45 baht
• Pad Thai w / Chicken Restaurant: 80-120 baht
• Large Chang beer: 80-120 baht
• Heineken: from 100 Baht
• Cola: 20 baht

Transportation:
Transport in Thailand is a really good issue (like almost everything). The main motto is bescheissen but not to get, especially since tuk tuk driver in Bangkok makes a lot of money with the tourists pay it all! A popular scam in tuk tuk drivers is that they offer you, to you curves for 10 baht through half the city. But the truth does not make your city tour, but she went to several jewelers and tailors will, tapped from those tuk tuk driver a hefty commission.

Can package prices call it not for transportation, since it often (especially in tuk tuks) to negotiation is generally true, however. The first price quoted is too high we have to tuk tuk drivers, never more than half of the first-mentioned price paid!.

In order to travel around the country has proven to us at the train because it is relatively low (500-1000 baht 2nd class sleeper car) and you save one night and recovered more or less at the next town arrives =)
