This is just a demo version of my travel expenses report of 15 days travelling in Thailand. More details tomorrow, but this teaser was necessary to satisfy “the pupil” needs.

NOTES:

COMMENTS:
This time frame is probably the worst time of the year to come to Thailand, because it is hot season (more need for air-con than usually) and especially because Songkran, Thailand New year and busiest time of the year for travelling. This is the reason why I decided to stay 5 night in Prachuap Kiri Khan, off the beat track and honestly not a remarkable, altough not ugly, place.

Where I should save: I spent too much money a
Start earning some money, of course!

Where I can budget more:

  1. Hey coach,

    Who’s the POTF? (Pupil of the Month)
    I was about to suggest you the app Waller (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid4you.application.wallet). It tracks also recurring expenses, in case you have any!

    Also, your expense reports would be much better if you would create tables.
    But to do that, you must accept my offer for FREE hosting and buy your domain.

    • expense manager track recurring too, but i will try wallet and others, for the sake of it
      i accept your offer, please buy the domain, i will discount the monthly iusprimepapis
