> I'm wondering if a long vacation in thailand would work, financially speaking. It all depends on your requirements. If all you want is beer, sea and sunshine, then you can get by on a few dollars per day. I would guess about 5 dollars would suffice if you stay away from tourist areas. If you want to live in a 5-star resort or better, then your spending level is more like a few hundred dollars per day. Anything in between is possible. I typically spend about 20% per day when on vacation in Thailand vs Europe and I don't pinch pennies.
