Thailand Trip Budget Calculator

Add up the parts of a Thailand trip that have a published price: hotel averages, entry tickets, national park fees, a tourist SIM and ATM fees. Food and local rides have no official price, so you enter your own daily estimate.

What the total includes - and what it does not

Every fixed price in the calculator has a published source, listed below. Hotel figures are survey averages for the first half of 2026, not a quote: guesthouses and hostels cost less, and peak dates cost more. Food and local transport depend entirely on how you travel, and there is no official price list, so they count only once you enter your own figure. Flights, travel insurance and tours are not included.

Currency amounts use the European Central Bank's reference rates from 2026-10-02; your bank's rate will be a little worse.

For what each item really costs, read our daily budget guide, price level in Thailand and Thailand on a budget.
