Let’s start off with the most painful one – the post trip accounting.<\/p>\n

Sans my shopping expenses, I managed to stay within my estimated budget. I had a couple of expenses that I didn’t allocate for: Internet and laundry. However, since I got a free and loaded ez-link card in Singapore and decided to skip Sentosa in favor of shopping, my actual expenses was almost US$100 below my estimate. Unfortunately, if we don’t count the Singapore estimates and expenses altogether, I went over my Thailand budget by US$60.<\/p>\n

And it’s a whole different story if you add in the amount I spent shopping.<\/p>\n
