Petrol price
We'll take 900km just in case.. Petrol: RM3/Litre (Max)
Example:
My bike FC = 20KM/Litre
900KM / 20KM = 45 Litres required to achieve 900KM
45 Litre x RM$3 = RM$135.. *Round up abit just in case.. 2 way = $135RM x 2 = RM$270 ~ S$110..
+ Breakfast / lunch *depending what you prefer..
Hotel: 1000baht/night/room= 3k(3nights) + 1k baht deposit(refundable upon check out) ~ S$225
(Round up abit)*conversion rates might varies
1 person's damage = $115 + $110 = S$215 (Required)excluding meals.
Meals in MY = Est RM$10/Meal.. x est 4 meals = RM$40 ~ S$20 (round up)
Meals in Thailand = Normally, I'll prepared ard S$25/day S$25 x 4 = S$100
Estimated Per person total damage = S$335.. (if solo in the room, + $110)
