As to food, it is usually a lot cheaper in Thailand. Even good restaurants in Bangkok are less costly than at home.
Telephone calls within the campus are free of charge, therefore you don't spend much money on it.
Accomodation is less than in Germany, too.
For nightlife I did spend the same as at home cause you usually go out several times a week. Moreover, in some clubs, foreigners have to pay higher entrance fees.
Travel expenses are less in Thailand, but sometimes the way of travelling is not really comfortable.

Even new text books are really cheap in Thailand. So it makes sense to buy new books.

Thailand is fairly cheap in all categories compared with Western Europe. Telephon is still equal, because less expense was made up by more long distance calls. Travelling is more, because we travel more in Thailand, than in England or Germany, but it is still comparably cheap.

With my German bank it proved to be difficult to transfer money to the branch of the Thai bank on campus, although I still do not quite understand why? Cost for Visa in Thailand just increased. Otherwise everything locally made or service related is cheap, any imported about the same as in Europe.

Never go travelling through agencies on Kao San Road (backpackers paradise), just go to local bus/train stations and book your trip there. Sometimes half as expensive!!

Nightlife in BKK city is not so cheap, but still OK. Food on campus is cheap and bad. Very poor quality of the food in the cafeteria.
