Re: how much spending money
That's about 4800 baht a day at the moment.
That's plenty.

Re: how much spending money
4800 a day might seem plenty for people living there BaaBaa - who are used to budgeting and market shopping. But for someone wanting a 'good time' for 10 days - well - I'm not sure it'll be anywhere near enough. Especially with a trip to Pattaya planned as well. The taxi could use up a days' allowance just for one way. Then there's all the bells and extras... as we all know it's a tradition for any newcomer to go to the busiest bar on a Friday night and ring the bell at least 3 times. Know what I mean?

Re: how much spending money
I agree with the last post, in that 1k may not really be enough. When I was still free and single I used to go through more than that during my time here. Put it this way, if you bring 1k you'll have a great time and you'll end up spending the lot, and if you bring 10k you'll also have a great time and end up spending the lot.
That's just the way Thailand is

Re: how much spending money
If you are going to party all the time including a trip to Pattaya and I assume you'll spend some time in Bangkok too, then £1000 should be enough.... per day!p.s i want to go wild and visit pattaya if possible

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Re: how much spending money
I always work on £100 per day plus accommodation, but I like eating/ Drinking Thai style....until about 11pm then let rip a bit
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!

Re: how much spending money
4k8 baht per day,
well depends
the first night I arrive I tend to spend TWICE that on booze and sanuk alone
Checking my spending last twoo weeks in HH / BKK, Excluding hotel costs :
I avareage at about 6 K per day and that was no where near maxed out.
a massage her, a happy ending there, a BF here, food there. drinks every where and you will hit 5 K easily

Re: how much spending money
Just done my spread sheet thing today back home in the uk, taking out the odd crazy night out at the Hilton, scooter hire, BKK taxi hire, and one off expensive trips to Kanga Chang etc I was avg 5k baht a day sounds crazy but true.
And that was eating at Grand Plaza rice/noodle stalls as well, and all I brought back was 7 dvds, but the memories as they say in the advert priceless

Re: how much spending money
And here's me thinking how long I'd last on a budget of £100 a week after accommodation. Methinks I'd better move somewhere else...

Re: how much spending money
According to that Aussie military man who was active at the demonstrations, 1000 baht should be enough for your entire trip
