Daily costs reflect real relative price levels between cities — Zürich is not Bangkok — from cost-of-living structure (Numbeo). Airport-transfer costs are typical published taxi / rideshare / public rates. Category splits are typical traveler budget breakdowns. Figures are illustrative, not live market prices.

About the data: base daily costs (€/day, per person) are reused from the Budget Playground tool and treated as the backpacker level; Comfort is ~1.9× and Luxury ~3.4×. Exchange rates are approximate mid-2026 values in units of local currency per €1. Category splits are typical shares of a traveler's daily spend (stay is the biggest, fun is flexible) and are illustrative. Real anchor points: Zürich ≈ €125/day vs Bangkok ≈ €35/day at backpacker level, € vs ฿ (THB), £ (GBP), ¥ (JPY), ₹ (INR) and so on — the relative order and currencies are real; exact amounts are estimates.
