Budget for Phuket Holiday

To understand how much money we need to have a rest, first we need to decide on what we want to get from this rest, and it’s also important to know for how long we plan to rest. We offer you an approximate calculation of the cost of one or two people for rest during the most common time for holidays - two weeks. For comparison, let us take a rest, for example, in Phuket, Thailand, as at the moment it is one of the most popular resorts in this country. In general, how much money will we need?

Note

To begin with, it should be mentioned that the issue of costs and budget is quite individual and depends on many factors, ranging from how long you are going to go to Thailand and how and where you are going to eat - will there be restaurants three times a day or street cafes are not in tourist places where local people eat.

1. Let's start with the flight

Most often, the cost of air tickets to cost almost half the budget of the rest, and maybe even more. You will have to pay for tickets at least $ 400 one way for one, if you do not take into account any discounts and offers of certain airlines, which of course will sometimes help save a little. Also, of course, it all depends on where you are going to go on a trip. This information is about the price for a flight from most of the CIS countries. Sometimes you can save significantly if you book any last-minute tour.

2. Accommodation

In this regard, a little easier, since a variety of options for living just rolls over. You can pick up a house on any pocket.

Most of the rental apartments in Phuket in a standard hotel with amenities such as: TV, internet, air conditioning, refrigerator, private shower, as well as daily cleaning - will cost from about $ 15 per night. However, if you try you can find even cheaper places to stay, but you should be prepared for the fact that there the package of services and amenities will differ from the standard ones.

Another type of housing is a villa or house. The cost of renting a house in Phuket is already a bit higher, but the price corresponds to what you get. In addition to the standard package of services that is present in hotels, you can still get a private pool, garden, as well as a barbecue grill. It will cost from about $ 40-50 per day.

3. Food, probably the most important item

Without food, of course, you can’t do wherever you are. In this matter, of course, everything is also quite individual, because the size of the stomach and preferences are different for everyone, but it’s no problem to find something for your taste and wallet.

We will tell you about the variety of cuisine in other articles, and now we will focus our attention on prices. If you eat standard three times a day, then you need an average of 7-8 dollars per person, if you eat in more or less decent cafes, for this money you will get quite rich and high-calorie portions, which can not please the budget tourists: )

Of course, even here you can save money if you find places where local, so-called “locals” taverns eat. Usually it is inconspicuous and hidden behind the tourist places of institutions without bright signs or ordinary markets. There you can find absolutely the same food as in expensive restaurants, but with a different supply and the price will be several times less. Eating in such places you can spend up to $ 3-4 per day and stay the same full.

4. Sightseeing tours and souvenirs

What kind of rest and no excursions but souvenirs? Visit Phuket as in general Thailand is impossible without typing a bunch of all sorts of souvenirs and bypass attractions. If you count only the cost of transport to tourist places, then it will be released at $ 5 per day. It is difficult to say about the cost of souvenirs, since everything depends on you. From $ 20 it will cost just full-fledged excursions, taking into account transport, they are not difficult to find in Thailand.

5. Leisure and entertainment

This includes visits to bars and clubs, boating and quad biking, as well as do not forget about water parks. In general, entertainment as well as food can be found for every taste and color, as they say. If you plan not just to sunbathe on the beach and swim in the sea, but try some new entertainment every day, you will have to take about $ 500-700 + the cost of a $ 400 flight there and $ 400 back, then it will be around 1500- 1600 dollars. For such an amount you will definitely secure an unforgettable vacation.

Again, we repeat that these figures are rather arbitrary, since everything depends on your needs and desires, as well as the size of your wallet. But we can definitely say that if you take $ 1,000 or $ 500 with you for two weeks, you still get a good rest and immerse yourself in an incredible tropical atmosphere.
