Continuing on with my post-trip series, here’s my travel expenses for Bangkok, Thailand. Like the previous post-trip accounting posts, this only include the land transfer coming into the country. Also, I did not include the costs for the doll things I hoarded in BKK.
For five days and four nights in a major city, this is a pretty cheap trip.

| 1 I booked for a single room for THB 650 per night. It was above my budget, but after my hellish room in Vientiane, I deserved something good. I ended up getting a double room because the guest who was supposed to check out of the single room I was supposed to get decided to extend another couple of days. Lovely! | |||
| 2 Toiletry shopping in Bangkok was an interesting experience, specially if the item you’re buying only has Thai script in it. | |||
| 3 THB160 well spent at the Siam Paragon Cineplex. | |||
| 4 Printed my booking confirmation for Tune Hotel Penang. | |||
| 5 A watch for me an my niece, and some elephant keychain. | |||
| 6 THB 100 Wi-fi fee at HI Sukhumvit for the duration of my stay. Pretty reasonable, specially since I stayed for five days. | |||
