5-6k Bht Enough For Kpn?

[stanny]

Hi all,

I am looking to travel to KPN for about 4-5 days for the full moon party from Bangkok. Is 5-6k BHT enough for everything? Including transportation to and fro. Just want a rough estimation.

Thanks

Not yet booked a place, am hoping to get somewhere really cheap, conditions don't matter. Well, drink perhaps 2-3 beers every night, nothing much. Age 22, no insurance.

number one; get a cheap place and it all should work out. BUT the no insurance thing I don't understand if you're a farang! Be Careful! And GOOD LUCK!

You would be cutting it very close. If your lucky you might find a place to stay that is 300 baht per. night. In Had Rin there are a few. Most of the cheaper places don't take reservations and the closer to the night of the party the harder it will be to find a cheap place. It's been pretty slow on the Island this year and the next few months are always the slowest.

The train, bus and boat to the island is about 900 baht each way. Unless you can stand going 3rd class. Not sure about the bus all the way down, I prefer the train.

There are very few cheap places to eat in Had Rin and the island compared to bigger cities. It's cheap by western standards, but not really by Thai. Figure at least 100 baht per. meal. 50-80 for a beer.

Hope this helps

in the supermarket you can buy beer from 20-25 Baht - a large Bottle of Thai - Whisky 200.... a instant noodle dish in the 7/11 for a few baht, they stock tuna in cans, sliced bread, it's all there.... a thai noodle soup, simple rice dishes, at a roadside stall 25-30 Baht....

have a nice party!

No roadside stalls in Had Rin, but 7-11 is alive and well
