The buffer covers unexpected spending. FX raises the rate when paying: 0.0263 → 0.0271 EUR/THB. This is not a buffer.
35,000 THB × 1.20 season × 1.15 contract = 48,300 THB / month
Reference rate × season × contract length. The result is rounded to 100 THB.

147,900 THB
147,900 THB = first month 48,300 THB + rental deposit 96,600 THB + utility deposit 3,000 THB. The deposit is calculated from the current rent, not the reference rate. Deposits increase the cash you need, but not the cost of the trip.
Deposits
Shown for reference only — it is not a deposit and is not part of the total above. It is money you spend, already counted inside the reserves for the trip period, while deposits come back to you at the end of the contract.
Cost of living on-site repeats every month. Flights and other one-off expenses are counted once, and annual reserves are prorated to the length of the trip.

What drives the result
The ranking converts one-off expenses into a monthly equivalent, so it shows the real cost drivers even for a short stay.
Whole trip
€4,175
Includes a 10% buffer. Deposits of €2,698 come back to you, and the safe limit of €4,175 shows the upper range.
Before booking
01
Monthly living costs repeat. The whole trip adds flights, setup and prorated annual reserves, so the average month is always higher.
02
The plan uses exactly the amounts you enter. The safe limit assumes most items land at the top of their range — treat it as a stress test, not a forecast.
03
Deposits are refundable but you still need the cash on arrival. That is why cash needed is higher than the planned cost of the trip.
