Btw guys, this is MOST of the expenses but doesn't include other things like traveling, insurance, gifts, visas, investments, savings, etc. And yes, I spend more on the high side, because I'm not necessarily concerned with trying to save my money. I could actively save more if I said no more often to friend's invitations, which restaurants I want to take with my gf, etc. Goal of Thailand is to enjoy yourself, not to penny pinch. Check out the links in the description for the suit shop, my Thailand community, my Instagram, and other links! Thanks for watching!

[@hirwaaxel9656]

please do a video on how much can someone earn to live comfortably in thailand

[@thebrazilshow]

Great video! $1700 a month would get you a similar nice lifestyle in Brazil, but Bangkok is more modern and developed. Brazil has the finer women. LOL! Our problem is the widespread poverty and violence. Who do you get your cell phone service from?

Here's thailands perk 1. cheaper rent. thats it.

[@JozieY1]

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!

[@mattivirta]

50K USD can buy good condo thailand. many small good condo cost about 30K

[@surapolp]

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.

[@jglee6721]

@@surapolp I'm glad someone gave a second opinion. I'm not local but I heard that you should rent for at least a year before buying. I think it's easy to buy but hard to sell in Thailand as Thai people don't like to buy used. See if there is a market for foreigners to buy your unit should you decide to sell. I'd like to see if any condo appreciated in value because builders can pretty much put up a new building right next to yours.

[@stevewise75]

Don’t buy. Just rent. Cheaper and the peace of mind is worth it to let someone else deal with problems. Got a bad neighbor? New construction noise? Discover a better spot? You can always leave

[@rsvpurgt]

Definitely rent until you guys find an area you love best. Maybe you'll fall in love with another city. Enjoy your retirement!

[@txg161]

Hi Paul, There’s Michelin Guide (no star) and Michelin Star (1-3 stars). I think most restaurants you see in Bangkok are only on Michelin Guide (much easier to be mentioned in the guide than to have actually received at least 1 star). There’s a world of difference in food quality/presentation/prices between the two. Hope this helps. 😉

Hi @txg161, You are completely right 👍. I am French and I worked in the catering world. Your explanation is very clear. We see that you are interested in gastronomy! 😄

I agree 100%. The goal for me living in Thailand soon will not be to penny pinch, although I know that's one reason many expats come. I am fortunate to have a very high budget and plan on leveraging that to enjoy Thailand and Southeast Asia in general as much as I can

[@vernon121]

@@Rodderz1where would you recommend?

[@kastelvetro1491]

the ole adage that if you had 1k to 1.5 k move to s.e asia is actually wrong, now you have a better life in the west on that, with amazon prime , basic foods, small apartment and access to local wellfare or medical should you need it plus family etc there's no real benefit of asia, once you have over 2000 to 2500 you can start having a decent life, a decent life in the usa will cost you double that but to just get by and have a decent life of ease the west is cheaper. the perks of asia are cheap rent, after that everything cost more and the old world charm of the whole world is dead, thai's dont smile the same, no where does.

Thank you so much for sharing this great explanation of the cost of living in Thailand

[@user-dy2qq5wh4b]

...@ 24:30 "its very easy to get lost in the sauce" ...is an understatement. This one factor can make or break ones longterm stay in thailand. Its very easy to get caught up in the outward scene and loose oneself because theres nothing familiar and no anchor to ground oneself, and people can get spun out very quick very easily both physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially and spiritually.

[@saksitb3491]

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 .

[@WadmanP]

@13:30 That's a tasty looking meal right there. For $6 USD!! Here near the Windy City, $6.00 gets you a fancy lemonade with no refill.

[@iPaulLee]

Crazy!

[@kastelvetro1491]

white rice, meat with bones in it, msg sauce= 6 bucks. fast food in thailand is sky high. a reg meal of some fries and a burger at resturant is still gonna be over ten bucks. the days of eating well in asia for ten dollars a day are long gone, remember thats 900 a month usd to eat out 3 times a day in thailand atleast, sitting on plastic chairs by noisy roads eating rice msg meat for 5 bucks isnt special

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.

[@iPaulLee]

Thank you! Cost of living was one of the main decisions

[@dannykim8319]

INFORMATIVEEEEEEEE

[@bryancole842]

Great vid Paul. Seems very realistic to me. The rent helps to keep the overall budget in check. One of my motivations for moving from NorCal to Bangkok is cost of living. As a single person I can live in a minimal space and having access to all those cool amenities. Retired life should be much more enjoyable once I get out from under the costs here. Thanks for always keeping it real Paul. Kop khun kup.😊

Paul great video...I think anyone can have a great life in Thailand for 2k a month. I lived in Bangkok for 1.3k a month and had a great time. I moved to Phuket for 1k a month. I don't drink or party so I think that why I saved so much. I went to study kick boxing for a year. Best time of my life. I'm back home in the states but I will retire in Phuket. I think it's all about what you can afford. Live your life and have a great time.

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.

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

What cut down a lot of expenses for me basically came down to a few things: (1) Eating local, and seldom going to the walk-in restaurants in malls. As for non-Thai food pretty much all I had was the occasional Japanese, Chinese or Korean BBQ. Otherwise meals usually cost no more than 150 baht for me. (2) Basically having no nightlife as part of my lifestyle, not much of a party or drinking person which basically comes from how I ain’t got much of a social life to begin with lol. (3) Outright walking to places. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re not used to walking around on a daily basis. (4) I never lived in the areas where there’s more foreigners. My first place was up north in Saphan Khwai (near Chatuchak) and my second place was in Silom but with a bit of distance from the main CBD.

[@paulaserrano8564]

Very good video! I am wondering about Popo... how is it taking care of a dog in Thailand? Is it hard for them to adapt to the weather? Any insight is highly appreciated.

[@auwz66]

Budgets are always pretty personal. I lived in Phrom Phong and was spending about $3500-4000 a month. Most of the cost was the condo which was a 2br2ba. If I was to go back I would probably go a bit further out of town to Ekamai as I think that would cut the budget down to well under $3000. The bits of the budget that are killer are travel / entertainment and insurance. If you want good insurance it costs a lot. If you want to travel and stay in nice hotels it costs a lot. The actual day to day living costs are not that expensive, even if you eat out a lot etc you can easily live on sub $1500 a month. Its the going out and what not that builds up and if you want to live in some nice building, like I did.

[@golferdan906]

yeah those are just mentioned in the Michelin guide or some are Michelin bib gourmand (pretty good but for low cost restaurants). the ones you are talking about in the US that are pretty expensive are the ones with actual Michelin stars like 2 or 3 stars...1 star too.

It can be expensive to live anywhere in the world, but not as cheap as in Thailand.

[@MrSuperohhlala]

Thailand is still very affordable and a great value, but a lot depends on your lifestyle. If you like to go out and party, take the party girls home, eat non-thai food, live in the business district or upscale soi then costs go up significantly. Note, I've been living off and on in Thailand since 1991...I own two properties (BKK condo and a beach house), a car, a motorbike and a pug too.

[@AnalogFlava]

I think most people here are missing the point about Thailand. If you think 1800-2000USD is expensive yet you want to upgrade your life and you cannot afford this, then you are going about it the wrong way. Going to Thailand should be in order to pay less than you do now wherever you live all while getting perhaps some sort of upgrade all while working on an online business so that you 1-2 or 3 years from now can afford to upgrade more. If you need to save every penny then what's the point of going to Thailand, just go for a vacation. If you plan to retire, then that's another story. If I end up going myself, I plan to stay within my means of 1200-1500 max simply to make it stretch longer while working on a business!

[@Tradefy]

Stayed in BKK for 3 weeks, 5* hotel during covid. Cannot imagine to live there, even if you have luxury. Think twice before moving there and go in a good hotel first for a month or 2, before you make any decisions like buying a condo. The traffic, noise, heat and pollution is just horrible. As far as pricing goes, depends on lifestyle of course but if you want to have a decent lifestyle compared to europe, the money you have to spend there is equal and probably even higher then in major european cities and prices for alcohol is insane. I paid 15USD for a pint of draught beer in BKK(its same in Phuket and other places where you get draught beer), if you don't want to drink the headache beer. Outrageous! Also keep in mind that in a worst case scenario the law is against you! Thailand is good for a holiday, but definitely not for staying longterm.

In France, and I think it's the same in the USA (depending on the state, of course), you spend a lot more for an equivalent standard of living. In my opinion, Thailand is definitely cheaper. But this is not a scoop for anyone who knows South East Asia, and particularly Thailand.
