Day 1: Arrive, settle near the right base
Start 10:00
Arrive in Bangkok, keep luggage and check-in simple, then choose one low-friction experience such as forts and palaces. Start early for monuments and keep afternoons lighter for food and shopping.
Track Bangkok costs by stay, food, local transport, forts and palaces, optional extras and buffer.
Day 2: Buffer day with checkout planning
Start 08:30
Keep the final day in Bangkok flexible for one nearby stop, packing, pending payments and return transfers. Close shared expenses before the group splits.
