if you eat cheap (and you can do this well)....drink in beer bars....BF a gal from the BB then tip her a reasonable amount it is possible to do this consistently for 5Kbht and under......

BUT....if you like to drink long and hard, party, head off to gogos + nightclubs and stay out most of the night buying drinks for freelancers, your mates etc you can easily double that and more on any night.....

you can easily drop 5K for a meal with a gal including a mediocre bottle of wine down at one of the beachfront restaurants as well.......or alternatively 300-500bht in a nice Thai local place with a beer

I'm sure you'll find your happy medium

5K should be plenty for a night out. Spending 4k is a big night out for me. But like said before have a few thousand in your room safe.

the 9k per day does include average of 3k for girls so i guess 6k on other things such as golf, eating, drinking, shooting, elephant trecking, bar games etc

Had a cheeky night out last night after driving over to Patong and having a couple beers too many to drive back! Here's a simple break down:

Room 400 Baht
Meal 120 Baht (Just fancied some fish fingers, as you do!) Mash, beans + 2 cups of Coffee at Faultys.
Bar Bill - Mai Thai 300 Baht
Short time girl from Blue Bar - 500 Baht (No BF) - Snoozette - Shower and back on the Bangla by 0130 Hours Sir.
Dingo's 120 Baht (Craigs last night so ringing the bell alot, thanks Craig)
Hells Bells - Zero Baht - Geir not there!
Packet of Benson and Hedges - 80 Baht (How much are they in the UK Now?)
Black Sheep Bar - 300 Baht bar fine (Bit late but hey!) 650 Baht Bar Bill
Long time BG - 1000 Baht
Cup of Coffee at hotel for the road - 30 Baht
Full English + OJ and Coffee at Kamlalalala Bakery - Burp! - 120 Baht

So that was my night out, Accommodation, Food, Drink and Two Girls (One for about 20 Mins, it had been a while and the other all night) - Hang on......Just whistle to yourself a second............2990 Baht - Around £44/45-ish!

Cheap enough for cheap old me and I went to the University of Cheapness..................in Rochdale!

This depends entirely on what you want to do.

In May, I managed to do 6000 - 7000 baht in a night. That's not even thinking about paying the girl for the night... That came out of next days money. However without barfining any girls (I had Jaun with me the whole time) , like last trip, then 1500 - 2000 baht a night for 2 people eating and drinking.

I would say 5000 baht would be enough for a night out.

So I am guessing 7k – 8k Baht per day (Not night) will be enough for some fun!
The above price does NOT inc Hotel or days out – Just food, drink and R & R!

Most of you guys are right with your calculations.
In May this year I averaged around 2500-3000 baht per day.
Included day time entertainment, food, drinking, and followed up with dinner, Mai Tai bar until 2.30am then onto soi Tiger or similar until 4.30-5am drinking more. Also had the odd massage and of course ciggies as well.
Good value for the missus and I however there was obviously no BF, ST, or LT.

As for our mates wanting to spend 20 quid a day. Stay home wankers.

Don't want to tell how much I spend in a day, must be about top in the Guinness book. Oh, and when I play golf add another few k, as golf in Phuket is more expensive than most courses in Europe.

I normally go through around 10k a day in Pattaya, and about the same amount per week in Phuket.
