Answer 2

Yes visiting Thailand is so cheap. Food is cheap. Taxi, tuk-tuk and trains are cheap too. Ride on metered taxi, ask driver first if metered, if he says yes then that is the time you should ride. Don't ride taxi that will say no to meter. Some may try to scam you and bring you to gem shops, tailor or massage. Just firmly say no.

Visit Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. Avoid the south as there are lots of happenings there.

Must see in Bangkok:
Wat Traimit, Wat Po and Wat Benchamabophit
The Grand Palace
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Rose Garden Country - Thai Cultural Show
shopping at Chatuchak Market, where it's unbelievably cheap

Must see in Chiang Mai:
Wat Phrathad Doi Suthep
Wat Phra Singh
Mae Sa Elephant Camp and Orchid Farm
Meo Hilltribe village
Kantoke dinner
Mae Ping River
weekend / street market and bazaars

Phuket for the beach

If you have time, visit Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos convene.

Thailand is definitely cheaper. but, sorry. Its not safer. There are Bombings in Bangkok on a fairly regular basis and the southern part of the country is really out of control with military actions against bandits and rebels happening often. Bali has had a couple of bombings a long time ago and doesn't even compare. Both are still safe to visit but be careful.
here is a quote from WIKI

The South Thailand insurgency is a separatist campaign centered in the Pattani region, three southern provinces of Thailand, with violence increasingly spilling over into neighbouring provinces and threatening to extend up to the national capital in Bangkok. A long series of conflicts has resulted in over 3000 deaths in the past decade, with more than 2300 occurring since an escalation of violence in January of 2004.[1] In July of 2005 the Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, assumed wide-ranging emergency powers to deal with the insurgency. In September 2006, Army Commander Sonthi Boonyaratkalin was granted an extraordinary increase in executive powers to combat the unrest.[2] On 19 September, Sonthi and the Thai military seized power from Thaksin. Despite reconciliatory gestures from the junta, the insurgency has continued.

February 2007), insurgents executed 38 bombing attacks, 26 cases of arson, and seven ambushes. ...

Answer 4

Thailand is as cheap or even cheaper than Bali. You can get a meal (bowl of noodles) for as little as USD0.60. Taxi and the trains are cheap as well, however if you have more than 3 people taking a taxi is usually cheaper. If you wanna take the Tuk tuk ... please bargain.

Do enjoy your visit to thailand!!!
