approx US$50-US$100??? Cater S$100 for food and drinks (I'm being conservative)
Total: S$619 (approx).
EXCLUDE aspara dancer and monk photography which seems pricey.
Would say that bring around USD $250-$300 should be enough for the trip.
And need to bring lots of coins and candies cos kids will be asking. Just in case.
Disclaimer: I will CALL the guide to reconfirm US$250 is for 7-8 people instead of per pax basis. Just in case of communication error. Haha.
