Thanks! Yeh, it can be a little tedious tracking all the expenses, but it’s great when you have a whole spreadsheet to look at a few months into our trip!
Enjoy Thailand, it’s wonderful!

Save your pennies for when you get to Germany.
It is not cheap here.
And London.
But with it. Of course, no tigers and elephants, Oh MY!

50 dollars per day for two people isn't that bad.. unless that is 50 per person…then yeah, a bit lavish but not awful!

That's really neat info! I too am an 'expense geek' on the road… I had a VERY detailed spreadsheet until Helene begged me to stop forcing her to write down every penny we spent.

The description of your travel style is very, very close to ours. We too partake of numerous snacks and groceries during the day, and go to guesthouses but get double rooms instead of dorms. Our expenses in Japan were really close to yours: $183 USD/day, partly because we chose an expensive ryokan that we really liked from our last trip here.

Looking forward to Thailand… We're going there after our stint along the west coast of peninsular Malaysia.

Happy trails!
