you'll come back with a healthy appreciation for Psy me thinks ;) There's a load of pirated CDs and DVDs over there, on Kao San road you can get every single GU in the series for a few dollars each, so dodgy :p |

if you're going to spend any time in bangkok, make sure you visit MBK shopping centre if you are into games, cd's dvd's etc. Actually you can buy pretty much anything there.
and also get a scooter taxi, 100baht to get clear across bangkok, and those guys are mad riders. They don't always appreciate that us fat guys don't fit between those two buses, got a few bruised knees from that but it is great fun |

$1500 should be plenty, but depends on what stuff you want to do. A diving course is nice to do there, but will run to about $250-300. drinking wine is hellish expensive though beer and local whisky can be very cheap. (note, there's a good reason that whisky is cheap, feels like paint stripper in your stomach).
hiring scooters are cheap, you can spend a bit more on cruisers or sports bikes, (why you'd want a cbr400 on those roads with dogs wandering everywhere and crazy traffix is beyond me).
your budget will cover good eating, drinking, a few trips and stuff comfortably if you don't do anything silly. |
