Like others have said these threads, you can get by on very little, or spend a ****load of cash, depending on what you want to do. What do you plan to do during your trip?
General prices:
Hotels
Hostels <10USD/night
Serviced Apts and midrange hotels 50 - 80 USD/night
High end - 100+USD
Food
Street Vendors - 50c - 1USD
Decent Restaurant 4 - 10 USD
Upperscale - 10+
Western food establishments are generally a bit cheaper then back home.
Nightlife
You can buy a case of heineken at the store for a little over 10USD
At clubs, prices seem to be around the same as western clubs (maybe a bit cheaper).
Transportation
Cheap. You can get a cab or a tuktuk halfway across town for less than 3USD. You can take the skytrain/metro for 1-2USD.
If you're looking to come here, party most of the week, do some shopping, and enjoy western comforts, you will probably need to budget 1 - 1.5kUSD.
