Thailand 2018 Solo Traveler Budget
Thailand was pretty cheap….until I went to the hospital in Chiang Dao. I did a lot of walking when I wasn’t volunteering and just exploring towns (free!). When I was working, I had breakfast and housing paid for. That’s most of the expenses you incur in a small town like Chiang Dao!
The total for my month in Thailand is $408.98 with an average of $16.36 per day.
Big purchases:
- SIM card.
- Plane trip.
- Hospital visit.

I was obsessed with chocolate bonbons during this month for some reason so that is quite literally what makes up most of my general “shopping” number. It was nice to have a month where my spending is less.
