How this calculator works
Each travel style uses typical prices for a room, three meals, getting around, entry fees and a few drinks per day. Rooms are shared between two travelers. Extras are one-off per person unless marked per day.
Ways to spend less in Bangkok
- Eat where office workers eat. Lunch at a street stall or mall food court costs a fraction of a tourist restaurant.
- Use the BTS and MRT for longer trips across the city, and Grab for short hops when it's hot or raining.
- Book hotels midweek. Bangkok rates often jump on Friday and Saturday nights.
- Get an eSIM before you fly so you can use ride-hailing apps from the airport, instead of negotiating with drivers.
