australian in bangkok n phuket ( couple )?

My girlfriend and i will be in bangkok and phuket for 15 days, airfare and accommidation have been paid for. we land in bkk on the 26th of december 2008. what would be the average thai baht a couple would spend per day.. we plann to visit temples, floating markets , zoo , night bazzar and night markets and what ever else spings to mind whilst there. we dont plann to go clubbing. we will do very little shopping. any help would be tops..

First of all, Thailand is a wonderful place to choose!

I am Canadian and have lived there for the past 3 years.

The grand palace- which has temples on the grounds is approx. 300 baht. It’s amazing. But be prepared to buy bottled water (alot) because being outside it’s sooo hot! But water is only 10 baht (don’t drink out of taps)

Right near the palace is a temple called Wat Pho- with a hugeee gold reclining buddha which isn’t too expensive. about 50 baht?

I say get to those two places by travelling via boat on the river! its cool..but the water is brown.

The floating market is about 100-200 baht per person. they will tell you more- but you can haggle and push it lower! Go to different boat people and find the lowest price. Many people for many things will try to get you to pay the first price they say because they think your just a foreigner who doens’t know the actual price. But many things are wayyyy cheaper than they will tell you. So say how about ____ baht? and start with the lowest possible number, then work your way up. The markets, as well.

The night bazaar (Suam Luam- Lumpini) in Bangkok doesn’t cost anything to get into but it has sooo many different things you may want to buy. Stuff is very cheap compared to what you’d buy in Australia- but remember push it to the lowest price you can!

The zoo- I wouldn’t reccommend going to. Nothing exciting to see. You’ll probably see elephants on the streets in tourist places anyway…and they don’t have the same standards for zoos as our countries would.. and i think the majority i’ve seen are run down.

Phuket- SPECTACULAR!!!
SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful. I’d say go snorkeling while your there! most amazing coral i’ve ever seen is in thailand. And if you like some adventure- go parasailing! I did for 400 baht- and they originally told me 900. So i pushed it lower and it was sooo much fun!!

Good luck I’m sure it will be a great trip!
