Funny I stayed in a temple for a couple weeks North near Chiang Mai, and they eat nothing but Vegetarian. I'm thinking it depends on the temple

Billy Brown You're putting people into categories. "Westerner", "millennial", "pretentious". If you were a little less pretentious yourself and "clear minded" as you preach. You'd be able to realize that the definition of religion is versatile enough to consider Buddhism as such. As most scholars would agree, and those who practice quite frankly wouldn't care about labels.

Most countries where Buddhism is the main religion have ample amounts of vegetarian foods and in my opinion extremely delicious.

If you're staying near Khao San I use to frequent a place called Arawy, delicious vegetarian food

When you get here go into a mall, go to an AIS. Cheap as, 200-300 baht a month for unlimited data

Do a quick calculation.

Well meals you can get for 40 baht, but guessing more touristy 100-150 baht a meal should be enough to budget.

So say 450 baht for food. Maybe splurge get all you can eat Korean bbq for 300 baht.

Beers around 80b per at bars, 50 baht ish for coffee/tea at cafes.

Travel around probably one of the bigger costs, stay near train line if you're in Bangkok. I'd say if you go around a lot and don't take public transport set aside 200-400 a day for it.

Tourist attractions a couple hundred baht to enter maybe, just check the places.

honestly general food and drinks I get by under 300 a day comfortably

Depends on how luxurious you wanna live and if you're not afraid to eat real local
