Not counting flights, a mid-range day in Bangkok is about ₹7,190 per person (3-star hotel, local meals plus a dinner out, two taxi rides). On a shoestring it's about ₹2,700 a day; comfortable travel is about ₹16,400. A 7-day mid-range trip comes to roughly ₹50,400.
For everyday things Bangkok is about 20% pricier than Mumbai. Compare item by item in the table above, or open the app to see it against your own city and income.
A simple local meal is around ฿100 (about ₹255); a sit-down restaurant dinner is around ฿400 (about ₹1,020).
As a rule of thumb, paying about double the usual local price is a warning sign. For a taxi that means anything above ฿221 (₹562) for about 5 km. Check any price in 3 seconds in the app.
