About 1.2k for the flight there.
About 3k for spending, accommodations, and local flights.

I stayed at hostels for the most part, if you're cool with sleeping in a room with 10 other people. Plus, it's a chance to make friends.

Google maps works for local transit, I used a lot of buses, biked, scootered (out of busy cities), or walked. Some taxi's will scam tourists by driving in circles. Essentially, the more self sufficient you are, the less likelihood you'll get hustled. From my experience.

I should mention that one of those months was pretty much free accommodation and food because I stayed with family.

My budget for most days was (in CAD):
10 per night for a place to sleep
2 per meal
So about 34 dollars a day to spend on; tours, sightseeing, rentals, and festivals.

Some days were cheaper than others because all I did was; visit museums, take transit, go to the beach, go to temples, and wander.

PADI open water is about 100 dollars cheaper in Thailand than here in Canada. The waters in Thailand are unreal too. 499 student price at a local university vs 385 at the place I went to. Accommodation included.
