Hi everyone
I’ll be in Phuket late December/early Jan. was originally going for a week, but the resort looked so good I wound up extending the stay for a total of two weeks. Just trying to figure out how much money I should aim to save by then for spending on food and activities
I’ve got buffet breakfast every day at the resort so thinking that’ll be my main meal and I might visit a restaurant or room service later in the day for dinners. Will probably just have fruit or skip lunch.
I’m planning on spending most of my time by the pool at the resort. I’ve got a lot to read and I plan on drinking a lot each day (mostly cocktails and a few beers at the hotel bars). Also plan on visiting a cannabis shop for weed and edibles. Ideally I’d like to have a bit of a buzz (or a bit drunk) most of the trip
For activities I’d like to visit a few spas for massage and spa treatments, mostly focusing on relaxation. I’ve also found a few parks near my hotel (there’s an elephant park, a tiger park and a dolphin watching tour, I’m interested in seeing all three). Happy to take suggestions for nice sites to tour as well. Would love to visit a cannabis farm if there are any in Phuket that do tours.
Currently budgeting about $200aud a day (around 4500 baht by todays exchange rate). Is this enough or too much? Or should I budget more for the type of trip I’d like to have? (Resort, flights and shuttle to/from the resort are already paid for, I just need to worry about food, activities and lots of weed/alcohol)
