String your hammock up on the deck and listen to the rain Build yourself or labour? How much cost? Link to post Share on other sites

For this money you will have a very uncomfortable trip. Bad sleep and daily 2 portions of rice. No idea what you want to visit, but often there are entrance fees. I would chose to travel where it´s beautiful and interesting, not where it´s cheap. But up to you. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Gecko123 8,025 Posted November 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Rainy season just ended. Camping? I've camped a fair amount in Thailand, have you? The reason why camping isn't more popular here is because it's pretty uncomfortable sleeping in 85+ degree overnight temperatures without even a fan. You can easily find yourself unable to sleep and dripping in sweat until the early hours of the morning. If you're hooked on the camping idea, I'd pick a campground up North (cooler weather), come during the cool season (Nov-Feb) and just stay put. Having to lug camping gear all over Thailand sounds like a total drag to me. FYI, many national park campgrounds do have tent rentals. That might be the way to go since it sounds like you'll be staying in guesthouses as well. You can't just pitch a tent anywhere you please either. That's going to draw unwelcome attention. You might get away with it for just a night, but after that the police might show up. You could be seen as a vagrant or a foreigner trying to evade detection by immigration. You're not going to be welcomed with open arms: 'Look at the adorable minimalist, how cute.' Not. Nobody wants you defecating, building camp fires, leaving garbage on their land. Admission fees to Thailand's national parks are 200 baht and then there's a per night camping fee on top of that. These parks are usually in very remote locations, so you're gonna have to pay for someone to take you out there and then come pick you up. If the park has restaurant facilities, prices are usually very reasonable, but not super cheap. If there's no restaurant facilities (or they're closed for the season) you could be looking at hours of walking to get to the nearest store. Motor bike rental, in my opinion, is ill-advised. There are insurance issues, and huge safety issues, especially if you're riding around in unfamiliar areas without a helmet or loaded down with gear. You can't rent a motor bike just anywhere in Thailand, just mainly in tourist areas or maybe larger cities. Edited November 16, 2019 by Gecko123 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Number 6 2,560 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I'd pick a few parks. Not worry about the province. National Marine Parks are great but all closed for another month. I think Mu Koh Surin front side is open nowadays (Phangnha). March on the islands tents get hot. You need to be in a cool place at the waters edge. Sounds cold, wet and boring and I love camping in the Andaman. Camping in north sounds dire outside Dec Jan. I'm not a mountain guy. We often do some cooking in NPs but last year's just cook rice and buy food in np canteen. Wife says Pu Kadung, Pu Saidow, Inthanon. Waterproof tent. Rrrrrrright. You need a Thai style tent with big windows not some mounteering coffin. Edited November 16, 2019 by Number 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Local labour but we already had most of the hardwood from a previous small house Then 100 baht a day is too much – 12% a year of 40,000 is 4,800 baht, i.e. 500 baht a month or 20 baht a day. Presume you need to register as hotel, if rented out for less than a month... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
