This is amazing!!! Let me look up retiring in Bangkok... I'm shook. Thank you for this!!!

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

lol

[@marylavetta8136]

"Ain't nothing free BUT God's Love!" Now ain't that the truth! Thanks for the breakdown. Bangkok is doing something amazing in your life! You look fabulous!

[@BeenDelivered]

I guess it’s official. I’ll be leaving the states. That’s awesome. Thank you for being transparent with us.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

you got this!!!

[@louis20122]

$2,000 usd a month is good enough for me to have a good life there since i am not into bars clubs alcohol or girls. But i enjoy travel and going to restaurants.

[@tamileco1975]

Wow! You got me wanting to move out of the US, we are getting robbed here. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You can do it!

[@kellonwheelz_66]

Girl, that low-cost living is what I miss most about living in Thailand. 7-Eleven is that thang over there! 😅 We used to use the Grab motorbikes, too, when we traveled, but in our own "hometown," we had our own motorbikes. Thanks for sharing your budget with us! 😊❤

[@aminaaminat8378]

How long did you stay in Thailand? How were you able to extend your stay longer than the two-three month stay as a tourist?

[@kellonwheelz_66]

@aminaaminat8378 I was there for about 4-1/2 years teaching ESL. We had work permits that were good for the length of our contract, which was one year, renewable annually. We were required to check in with immigration every 90 days.

[@aminaaminat8378]

@@kellonwheelz_66 Thank you! I have my ESL Certification and haven't began teaching as yet. I obtained it during C-19. My major is in English Literature...2 years done, thus far. Is it true that you no longer teaching in Bangkok? What's the going contractual rate these days for teaching ESL in Thailand? Did you enjoy it? What did you like & dislike?

[@joyb2840]

Thanks Antoniette for the Buget breakdown. It really helps to give us an idea if one can afford to live there for a few years or so. Especially if you're on a fixed income and want to live abroad.

[@awesomeniecy9242]

But I also love hanging out with my peeps 😂

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

I'm so glad it helped, Joy

[@Twtybird1]

I’m one of those who asked the budget question on Instagram. Very pleased to see such a transparent breakdown, as well as a look at the software you use. Thanks! Now, this at 8:57 had me rolling 😂 It is meme-worthy!

Wow, that is great! I’m really loving this part of your journey . You are a very strong and brave woman who I find very inspiring I wish I had someone like you to look up to when I was young. I must say if I wasn’t old with health issues, I probably would try moving there, which is all the more reason that I appreciate your sharing with us. I really do look forward to these videos. I wish you much love and happiness in everything you do thank you again 💕😍

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You are so welcome! and yes so much cheaper

[@BlackQueenA1825]

I really love and appreciate your breakdown. A lot of KZbinrs give the bare bones budgets. And I get it because they are trying to show how cheap it can be. But I'm interested in moving away because I have a lifestyle that I want and can't afford here in the US. Thanks for showing us at every level

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

I'm glad it was helpful for you.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You can do it!

[@artavialineszy9453]

Thank you for giving us an idea on how much it can cost to live in Bangkok. It seems cheaper than when you lived in the van. May you please do this again in March for your January expenses? I think this will give us a clearer picture. I also don’t cook so I’m excited about how cheap it is to eat out in Bangkok.

[@Just_Dez_Tv]

Love your content, I am planning to go to Thailand in October any good suggestions would be great!

[@anitamendez116]

Hello. I think you did very well with your expenses considering all the extras you had with your hair, face peel, eating out and travel. I do plan on visiting and staying in Thailand for 6 months or a year so your monthly expenses does help me to plan mine. I live very minimal so my expenses would be a few $100 dollars less. Thank you for sharing your experiences and expenses.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Oh thank you!

[@indoora]

Your monthly travel is not bad, you pay that much in NYC for delayed trains, busses that do not come on time, and canceled services do to repairs.

[@kimmym2585]

You’re about to make me move to Thailand!!!

I love Bangkok, Thailand. How were you able to obtain extended length of residency -- typically two to three months stay is allowed?

[@boredscientist5756]

I guess Americans can stay 3 months without any problem and renew it I think, it is the case for the EU!

Udon suk is on the BTS line about 5 stops away from Asok you can get an accommodation for 200 US dollars less and it’s very a very nice neighbourhood I have stayed in Thailand for about £1200 per month and really ate well I like the BTS lovely video I use to eat for about 300 thai baht per day and I really ate well fruit coffee I prefer the coffee outside than Starbucks

So based on your budget, as someone who lives in Italy, that's slightly more than the average single persons budget in Italy minus the medical which is free and I basically do my own hair, nails and basically cook at home 95% of the time and don't eat avocados because they are just too damn expensive. In many ways I thought it'd be cheaper than Italy ( I know with the American dollar it's luxury) but there are pros and cons to both Italy and Bangkok. I'm considering living in both Italy and SE Asia with my husband during the warmer weather half the year and also for the cheap massages and avocados (lol) .. but this is very insightful. Thank you so much girl, I'm one of those that asked on IG about budget

I live in the south of Thailand. I'm 70. I run my AC 20 hours a day. Electricity $70. Car insurance $8 a month. Gasoline $60. Water $2. Internet $12. Garbage $2. Flip phone 70 cents. My house is paid for. My bills total $155 a month. I eat out a lot, so my food bill is $145. So, I'm spending $300 a month. If you want health insurance, add $100. I don't like Bangkok. It's a rat race. My new Bangkok studio with AC was $100 in Bang Kapi.
