₹800/day (Sasta) ₹3,000/day (Bada Sahab)
ESTIMATED BUDGET
₹1,75,200
₹1,50,000 package + ₹25,200 on-road spend

◌ Included in Bananarchy: All hostel stays, cross-border/local trains/buses/boats, visa assistance, entry fees, cohort leader (Subodh).

◌ Not Included: Flights to/from Bangkok, travel insurance, personal shopping, and daily food/drinks (which you're calculating above).

Subodh’s Budget Rules

  • Street Food is King: A plate of Pad Thai or Pho on the street costs ₹120-180. A restaurant will charge you ₹400 for the same thing (and it won't taste as good).
  • The Beer Index: Local beers (Bia Hoi in Hanoi, Chang in Thailand, Beerlao in Laos) cost ₹40-100. If you stick to local brews, you save thousands.
  • Overland Wins: Flights between SE Asia countries cost ₹6,000-10,000 once you add 20kg luggage. Trains and sleeper buses cost ₹800-2,000 and save you a night's hostel cost.
  • The ATM Trap: ATM fees in Thailand are a flat 220 THB (₹500) per withdrawal. Take out the maximum limit (usually 20,000 THB) in one go to minimise fees.
