car rental
For a 4-5 day trip it should run you about 30-40$ per day. That should include the insurance as well. Gas is going to run you about 40$ to fill the tank closing in on empty. Both are dependant on what you rent of course. Yeah, these are stateside prices but again, as the other poster stated, it is rewarding and you can go your own pace and go where you want to go. Also something that you should be aware of and that is usually the vehicles are right hand drive. "IF" you are a competent driver it shouldn't take you too long to get used to but remember that you are starting out in a huge city and very traffic congested. It's not like you will have some open road to get the hang of things. My biggest problem was turn signal versus the wipers!, never did get used to that, everything else was ok after a fashion.Oh, and get a good map. Most of the roiads are well marked and the road to Chiang...
