Greetings Paul Lee, great content on the cost-of-living in Thailand, great job! It’s interesting that you chose Thailand to settle down over your native homeland of South Korea, however watching your videos in relationship to the cost-of-living, the prices there are certainly cheaper than in South Korea. I am thinking you made a very wise decision by choosing Thailand as your place of residence. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.

This total is mostly just for me, bc I wanted to give a realistic budget of a single foreigner here. I probably spend close to $2,000+ with my gf.

Paying $600 for a nice apartment seems completely unreal. I don't even live in an incredibly expensive place in the US, and a place like that would cost $1700 at least

Thank you, Paul 🎉 What you spend on food in a month is what we spend on groceries a fortnight in Australia and we have to cook it! That’s just groceries and doesn’t include eating out at approx. AUD $60 for breakfast/lunch in a cafe for 2 people or dinner out starting at AUD $120 not including wine/drinks! That’s not a premium restaurant either. When we eventually live in Thailand we will never take the cost of living there for granted.

My husband and I are retiring in thailand, april 2025! Just got back from there to scout it out. It IS very cheap there. We plan to buy a condo. In hua hin or cha-am. We are low maintenance and dont need expensive clothing. We are leaving all of that in america. Its overrated. Tank tops and shorts. can't wait!

My advise to you is not to buy the condo. Rent would be much better, so you can have lots of choices and mobility. Only after living here for a longer period of time, if the idea of buying a condo is still on, then just buy the suitable condo.

Total expenses can be high depending on your lifestyle, but it is worth what you pay. Once you are familiar with the costs of living, you will not think it’s cheap. Your perception and benchmark are changing to match SE Asia, not the western countries. This is similar to the lifestyle of upper middle income locals .

To answer your questions, I think Paul use AC only some rooms at specific times of the day, so his AC cost is similar to the expense of local people. He has a Thai girlfriend, so she can get good deals because of knowing where to go and getting a reasonable price. Phoen Chit is more expensive area because it’s more convenient but more expensive rent per Square meters. Rent per square meter in New building is more expensive than that of older buildings. Many Old Buildings are in prime location and have larger space with lower rents.
