Bangkok Budget FAQ
Is this budget accurate?
It's an editable planning estimate, not a quote. Ten destinations use reviewed preset inputs; other selectable cities use a clearly labeled generic median template. Actual costs vary, so replace every line with current prices for your trip.
How is the budget calculated?
We multiply per-night accommodation by (days - 1), per-day categories by total days, and flight by travelers. A buffer percentage is added as a separate category.
Are flights included?
Yes — a preset round-trip flight per person is included. You can edit the amount to match your actual booking.
Is my data stored when I share?
No server storage. The budget is encoded into the URL hash. Anyone with the link sees the same numbers. Don't enter personal information.
Can I export to Excel?
Yes. Click the Excel button to download a .xlsx file with summary and category breakdown.
Does it work on mobile?
The planner is designed for current mobile browsers. Browser storage, sharing, and downloads can behave differently by device, so keep an exported copy of an important budget.
Do I need to log in?
No login required. The tool runs entirely in your browser.

Food safety varies by stall and conditions. Prefer busy vendors that cook food to order, choose dishes served hot, use bottled or treated water, and follow current local health guidance if you have dietary or medical concerns.
