My Budget Information for STEEMFest In Bangkok Thailand
The latest roadtosteemfest contest asks us to talk about our budget and how we will fund our trip to Bangkok for STEEMFest 4.
These are the costs I will have for STEEMFest:
| Item | USD Cost |
|---|---|
| Bus/train in from Kuala Lumpur | 40.00 |
| Buses to Cambodia | 50.00 |
| Cambodian Visa | 30.00 |
| Hostel | 60.00 |
| Food and Expenses | 100.00 |
| Conference Fee | 250.00 |
| New Passport | 250.00 |
| Total | 700.00 |
Notes:
Bus/train in from Kuala Lumpur
I will be arriving by the Bus/Train combo from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. After STEEMFest is over, I will be moving to Cambodia, so I will be traveling too heavy for a plane.
Buses to Cambodia
This will be a trip to "somewhere" in Cambodia in order to relocate there. I have friends and connections in several cities and have not yet decided where to reside. The trip will be overland and probably cheaper than this budget shows.
I was planning to move to Cambodia in February 2020. But when I was denied entry to Singapore this past Monday, everything changed, and I will use the STEEMFest trip for my relocation as well.
The STEEMFest dates coincide with the end of the 90 days, I will get on my Malaysian Tourist Visa after traveling to Bangkok this Sun-Fri upcoming, so WooHoo!
Cambodian Visa
A Cambodian Visa is necessary for entry with my passport. I do not need a Thai Visa.
Hostel
My hostel is near the conference site. The cost shown includes 10 nights plus local bus transport to the site.
Food and Expenses
This is food not provided in the conference fee and for dates before and after the Fest. It is also Public Transport to get around in Bangkok.
Conference Fee
I'm using the fee shown for the lowest plankton level and this amount will increase if not paid by the dates below:
Plankton Conference Fee Increases over time in USD
- 250.00 08/30/19
- 325.00 09/27/19
- 390.00 10/25/19
- 470.00 11/06/19
See the complete fee information on this post:
New Passport
My passport has no pages left and will need to be renewed before I can travel again in November.
How much money do I have now?
I have zero money for anything at all lately.
I have been living off STEEM and STEEM related money since December 2017, and it has not been easy. Currently my post payouts are one-third of what they were a couple of months ago. Even though I have more supporters, their votes are worth much less than they used to be.
I have been struggling to pay my rent each month lately. This cost is $100 usd for me - so that gives you an indication of my situation.
No one has ever accused me of being realistic, but somehow I keep going, and that is what I will continue to do.

@fitinfun 700 is a lot of money, I pray you will be able to raise that amount. I tried to send you a little money did you get it. If everyone you have helped would send you as little as I did you would not have a problem getting to steemfest.
Hi @myjob, I'm so sorry! I thought I replied to your comment to tell you I did get your transfer - and it was not little! I am so grateful to you and so proud of how you have grown on STEEM. I'm always so fascinated by your posts, and glad you are here.
Right now I am focused on getting to Bangkok Sunday! I cannot believe I am going before STEEMFest. This is so unexpected.
It's fine for people to send wallet transfers and I really appreciate them so much. But somehow I need better votes on my posts. I'm posting 45+ times a week on the three blogs and even though I get support, it is just not enough. I will keep trying though, and your constant encouragement means the world to me. {{{Hugs}}}
@fitinfun I am glad you received it, I never know if I do something like that right. You might have told me and I missed it, sometimes when I go on steemit I am super tired from my day and it is not unusual for me to miss something or post to the wrong site. Good luck in Bangkok and enjoy steemfest. I can not wait to hear all your stories about it.
I am so tankful for all of your support, @myjob. It means the world to me :)
I hope you can make it there it would be an amazing experience
!tip
I hope so too. The pesky matter of money always comes up though!
Well I hope it can all work out for you
Me too! I will do my best to get there. It's too close to miss :)
