Itinerary & Expenses – 13 Days in Thailand (Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai)

We were in Thailand for a total of 12 days. We traveled northwards from the capital Bangkok to the second largest city in the country, Chiang Mai. We stopped by two historic towns, and former capitals, along the way: Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. Of course, I made sure that we take the train for this trip. :)

Please feel free to pick and choose which portion of our itinerary you’d like to use. Do make sure that you allot enough leeway for travel times and delays.

Please note that the following are our major/necessary expenses. This does not include purchases like snacks, supplies, souvenirs, etc. Prices are on a per person basis (except accommodations) unless otherwise specified. You also may have noticed that some meals didn’t make it into this list. It’s hard keeping track of those, cause I eat a lot! Hahaha!
