Can I ask if I bring 250 SGD enough for my expenditures there? :D

it depends on your expenditures mar :s13:

for a short trip, my general recommendation is SGD100 a day for 1 pax or a couple. obviously, this budget excludes your shopping spree and white tablecloth dinning.

and at the end of the day, it depends on the level of comfort you want. there are people who can't wait to correct me that they can last a full week in bkk with a shoestring budget of SGD100. so YMMV ;)

Used to spend 100 baht per day, but now learnt new trick from bro here and only need 60 baht per day instead. :D

100SGD a full week in bkk surely not enough. maybe 2nd day max give you 3rd day 100SGD gone already.

Understood. I guessed my budget seems to be enough. Mainly food and no shopping. :D

the candle and the flowers is 50b
many stalls outside four face buddha that are selling flowers and candles
they r selling much more expensive, so better to buy from inside store

actually ... i can better your 100B limit de. :D i'll have mama noodle for lunch and dinner, the rest of the time just stay in condo watch ch3. so my daily expenditure is capped at ~20B.

but joke aside, this is a sample on how the SGD100/THB2500 can be spent,
rabbit card 200B stored value + 80B for the card
lunch at any foodcourt - 200B
after you dessert - 300B
dinner at restaurant - 800B
mango tango or mont nom sod - 200B
thai massage & foot reflexology + tip - 600B
#1 - the day you dont do massage, the money can be used to buy small shopping items.
#2 - squeeze your spending here/there to pay for any admissions. (eg you only buy rabbit card once)
#3 - for big ticket items, charge to your credit cards.
