Bangkok / Thailand over Christmas
Mate,
It would be safe to assume that you will pay MORE for Hotels and Airfare if you visit in late December.
Other Senior members can confirm. The competition will also be higher i.e. more tourists, mongers and families visiting during the Holiday.
You can manage on US$2000 for Hotel, Meals and mongering expenses. However, it will be very tight. You will have to find a cheap Hotel or else shorten your trip.
I personally avoid travelling around Christmas. Good Luck!

[QUOTE=OnlyTheBest; 1450063]Hi All,
I am traveling from Australia. I have recently started a new job so my only real leave is the Christmas Break. I have a budget of 3 grand US to travel over the Christmas break 21 Dec to Jan 3. Do you feel 3 grand (including flights which cost USD 1000 approx) would be good enough to travel to BKK and other parts of Thailand. Also, I will book my hotel right away, but will it be too expensive during this time. Also, will be there a limited number of women available.
Your thoughts and recommendations please.
My other option is I could work during this period and earn an easy 4 grand over these two weeks. And possibly plan this trip sometime during July next year.[/QUOTE]
