How much money to take with you?
I'm going with a girl in February for 2 weeks. How much money we need (in dollars) for two, taking into account the fact that we are not going to buy nonsense there. And yet, how is it in terms of entertainment (we are 21 years old) ???

We went last year at this time. We had $1,000 per person. We've had enough. They didn’t save much, but they didn’t scatter for nothing either. There was enough money for a little shopping. Do not take a lot of summer things, everything can be bought there and inexpensively. In terms of entertainment, it's up to you what you prefer :). There are plenty of places to have fun.

Happy for you, you have chosen the right place) Regarding entertainment - there are plenty of them. Different ... Regarding money ... If you are not going to save on the modest wishes of your girlfriend, of which there will be many, believe me, then take money at the rate of at least 100 per person per day. This is to deny yourself nothing. Well, almost nothing. Stay - good. It won’t remain - even better) More, as they say, no less ... Despite the internal cheapness, money disappears there at a cosmic speed ... I want this and this, and this ... and not only for you, but also Your girlfriend... As a result, it turns out fine) But it’s still worth going shopping in the BKK)

We also went together for two weeks in 2007. With a little more than 1,000 for two. We didn’t spend money, but we had enough for all the excursions and for food in the restaurant (with wine, beer) and for fruits ... we didn’t buy things there - only small souvenirs.

2007 September. 2 days Bangkok. 12 days Pattaya. Were on 8 excursions (Koh Samui, crocodile and tiger farms, Nong Nooch Park, palaces and temples, and much more). We went to restaurants at any time when we wanted to eat, massage every other day, jet skis in Pattaya 1100 baht-half an hour (this is about 750 of our rubles). overweight luggage-be careful!!!, we took a taxi from the hotel (800 baht for almost the whole day). Total about $ 2700. We felt great. Although everything is relative, this is not enough for someone for a day. If you have any questions, write with pleasure I will answer. Good luck.

Thank you all for your replies! I did not even expect so quickly, a cool site is coming out! I'll come, I'll write about my impressions))
PS. I understand about the amount, but can you tell me what is more suitable for dollars or euros (or there is no difference)?
And one more thing: where is it worth changing the currency, according to the norms of the exchange rate so that?

there all the exchangers are official, the rate is normal everywhere, it may differ in the fourth decimal place)) they work (in Pattaya - for sure) until 11 pm, it seems, or even up to 12. it’s better, of course, to change directly in the bank buildings, but they have lunch there for three hours, and in general a strange schedule. I rarely found them working))

if not exchanged for baht, then dollars are still in use, not euros ..
And the cost of excursions is indicated in dollars as a rule ...

Do not take old $ bills. Problems with those that were released before 1999. And small bills (10.20) change at a lower rate.

exchange rates do not differ much. the main bills are larger - they change more favorably for some reason. we changed smaller ones on purpose, and there it turned out that the course for them was lower. although not by much.

the amount of money also depends on which resort in Thailand you are going to. Pattaya is cheaper, Koh Samui and Phuket are more expensive (I mean the prices for food, travel, excursions, massages, etc.) take at least $ 100 per day, you won’t be mistaken. If you know which excursions you will go on, look at their prices on the Internet , it will be easier. be sure to bargain (everywhere except for large shopping centers and restaurants), knock down the price by half at least - this is normal, take excursions at street travel agencies, and not from guides in hotels - save a lot. Our guides sell 20-30 percent more expensive. have a good rest !

I was in Phuket in December 2008. Prices for excursions on the street were almost half that of the guide. Even if you don't speak English, don't take a Russian guide anyway. there is nothing special to tell him, only to carry you. Why then overpay?
In principle, even with entertainment $ 100 a day is quite normal.
