How much did you spend on your last trip to LOS?
Not sure if this has ever been done before but I’m interested to see how much BM’s spend on their trips to LOS (I did a search but could not find any relevant threads).
What I would suggest is that you add up the money you spend on airfares, hotels, taxis, food, partying, girls, presents for girls, etc… everything call that Item A.
Item B can be the total number of days spent in Los on that trip.
Item C should be the number of cities you stayed while in LOS.
Item D should be the number of ST’s during that trip.
Item E should be the number of LT’s during that trip.
Item F should be the country of residency.
I’d like to find out how much BM’s spend on average and how this varies depending on the amount of time spent in LOS. I would also like to know if there are any patterns that might show a tendency of residents of one country spending more than residents from another country, or less for that matter.
It should make for interesting reading.

Very time intensive exercise you're asking for there mate. Even though I am a banker by trade and should be on top of all this
Plus, remember that airfares etc are paid for in BMs "home currency" while most other things are paid for in Thai Baht - it's a messy exercise to add it all up. Plus, prices vary depending on season.
As IJ pointed out, theres been other threads on this.
But generally speaking, I spend around 1500 Baht per day on a guesthouse/hotel room (I normally travel in peak season) and about 4000 Baht per day on entertainment. Day trips to islands etc are all "extras".

Never count what I have spent when I get back.
I know what I can afford and spend accordingly.
On my last trip it was my last day and I knew I was down to the bare bones on my 1st current account, so got 5000Baht out of my 2nd account to finnish of the holiday.

My Budget ???
Since this is going to be only my 2nd trip to LOS (Jan-Feb 2008), I am not exactly sure of what I will be spending,,, however my prelim. budget will be around 250.00USD per day,, accomodation is already paid,,,,, and will only do a couple of side trips,,,,, I am hoping that I can stick to this,, not sure?

Just spend what you need to enjoy yourself while you are there(credit card) and worry about paying when the time comes. Unforseen things happen to people(illness,death,marriage,not sure which of those is worse) and another opportunity may not come around.

I have no car because I cannot afford one right now, but I could have had a decent second-hand BMW or Lexus if didn't go to LOS for the last two times... I don't regret it though. I never really even tried to count how much I was spending. I just don't feel like worrying about money when it comes to this.
