Hi Olly, i am going to Thailand in march and have booked all the trips which have already been paid for , have you any idea the rough amount of Baht i should take, . Also i have not travelled this far on my own before so what would you suggest for bank card type for emergencies . thankyou gill

Hi Jilly

It's difficult to say because everyone spends differently - some people get through a lot of spending money and others struggle to spend anything.

But bearing in mind just about all of your meals are included and you have already paid for your optional excursions, I don't think you will need much - maybe just £20-30 a day for snacks, drinks, souvenirs, tips etc.

Perhaps someone who has been on this tour will offer their opinion too?

You will probably be able to use your existing debit/credit card in Thailand. Check with your bank / card issuer to make sure and let them know when you are travelling in case they suspect fraud and block your card.

Kind regards
