What is a realistic daily budget for backpacking Chiang Mai for 10 days, including food and lodging?

Question

Apologies if this is a repeat question —

This came up while I was booking — specifically about what is a realistic daily budget for backpacking Chiang Mai for 10 days, incl... — and now I'm second-guessing myself.

Would really appreciate any advice.

Expect to spend about $25‑$35 USD per day if you stay in guesthouses, eat street food, and use local songthaews or rent a scooter. This covers accommodation ($8‑$12), meals ($5‑$8), transport ($2‑$4), and modest activities or entry fees.
