The problem is, if one is a tourist and doesn't want to keep going back to his hotel for more money, one doesn't know how much money will be needed for that day of cruising. One never knows how many hot guys, short-stay hotels, etc. will be encountered in one day. I have gone out and gone to several saunas in one day, several cinemas, and paid multiple hustlers, etc. I wear shorts with many zipper pockets (as well as a little shoulder bag) so a pick-pocket would not know where to start. But I almost never carry more than about 5,000 baht (and usually a lot less).
