Why live in Thailand if you want to live an American lifestyle? If you're accustomed to spending $8,000 a month in the U.S. on restaurants, a luxury car, designer clothes, and a well-equipped home, then yes, you'll likely need at least $3,000 a month in Thailand. However, there are many people in Europe living comfortably on around 1,000 euros a month. These people can live on $500 a month in Thailand without feeling deprived, while still enjoying clean, comfortable housing with amenities like a pool and gym. They can shop for groceries, cook for themselves, eat healthily, and not worry about showing off material possessions. Thailand offers a lifestyle where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and live for yourself, not just for appearances or the expectations of others. It's not about living in luxury but about quality of life and simplicity. This video misses the point entirely; your budget depends on your standards and mindset. In the U.S., you'd pay three times (or more) for the same lifestyle you could enjoy in Thailand.

It's always funny to see high income white professionals in the highest couple tax brackets tell the peasants their dietary and housing choices are wholly insufficient and entirely wrong. Keep on their smart guy... Just know not every American needs to eat and live like you. Some of us are just fine and happy eating street food all day and living in a little shoebox. At least it's ours. As for booze, people living on a shoestring budget are pre-gaming it, visiting hot spots, and even walking and drinking. Everyone knows $1 dollar beers don't exist in Bangkok. Grumpy, judgemental, know it all. Go visit a Thai lady and stop being so grumpy. It might help you work off that beer belly you got from eating only the healthiest food.

I'm a healthy 31 year old male from nyc. I got 5 small doggies so i need a yard and i like to smoke weed. Do u think that will stretch my budget by a lot? Also, are raw vegetables cheap there? It's mostly what i eat so it's an important question for me
@LifewithSerg4 күн бұрын
Yes, raw vegetables are very cheap. Five dogs is going to be a little tough. You’ll also have to find out how you can bring them into the country. I’m not sure how difficult that would be. You’re asking me if it was your budget by a lot, I have no idea what your budget is. Sorry you’re just asking me questions that have too many variables in them to answer here.

It sounds like you're looking for something very specific. It's tough to give a blanket answer, but I’d recommend you check out the Facebook groups for Expats in Bangkok. You can find lots of great advice there! I’m not a condo agent so I am unable to assist.

yes it's all a lie, i lived on 1200-1300 usd per month in one of the cheapest place in Thiland. ( paying a bit over 200 usd per month for rent ) and I would say I would barely get by I didn't have: 1. eating out 2. dates 3. alcohol 4. any smoking activities 5. movies I baseically was just staying in my room and going to the gym, always alone. So I have no idea who can live in less than a thousand per month, I would say it;s basically poverty.
