If you use MRT a lot you can buy the Pass card which you can select 15 to 60 times. That will reduce to cost to 20 baht / time.

I was wondering if there was a site or central location to meet up with other Expats/Digital Nomads to help with the easing into the Thai Culture? Something to help with navigating, proper set up with basic needs and any other possible hurdles we may cross? Great video btw. Already subscribed to your channel and hope that in the near future to meet up.

It is surprisingly affordable to find nice places but there are plenty of more expensive condos as well. My previous condo was a 2 bedroom and 3 bathroom place at Asok for about $950. Downsized a little. Another friend of mine has a very modern 2 bedroom condo, and it’s almost $2000, and another has a very large 4 bedroom condo for about the same. On $5000, you will have lots of options and it will depend on your lifestyle preferences. I will do a video on my recommended cost of living soon, as it is quite different from a budget cost and much more suitable for retirement.

Are rental leases in English? Sorry but I can't speak or write Thai.

Yes normally there is an English lease but the official lease is the Thai version. I recommend that you watch my recent video about finding a condo in Bangkok. I will cover leases in part 2 ☺️

Your rent is $300 and you are talking about living on $600 month. Huh?

This is correct...this is an old budget though. You can find cheaper places, but I wouldn't go under $200...

The food budget is unreasonable. I'll typically go out with a friend and we get 3 dishes 'meals' and share them, 50 baht x3, rice is 20 baht x2, and water is 20 baht x2 so 230 Baht/2 and you haven't left a tip. You'll do that 3 times a day if you add snacks and 4 times a day without snacking. Thai food is like Chinese food, wait 20 minutes and you'll be hungry again. Every Thai is constantly eating and you will be too.

I think food costs really depend on each individual and their lifestyle preferences. For me, I often stick to fairly strict diets while I focus on fitness and work. Actually at times it was even less as I also do fasting. So this budget was reasonable for me. You can easily spend more, but if we are talking about a survival budget then this is definitely enough.

$600 is a joke. you need a visa, health insurance, an emergency fund. need double or even $1500 a month for a decent life.

@@marcioborgesreis9066 this is based on actually living on this budget at one point in time while just working on a project. It’s definitely doable as a basic budget, and actually it’s still quite a nice quality of life. The earlier commenter is confusing a ‘basic budget’ with a ‘recommended budget’. I will cover my recommended budget in a video soon 😊

Do they use US$ in Thailand? Or is it Thai Bath which is the legal currency... Totally useless video and not helpful at all unless you are an american since US$ fluctuate uneven with both THB and my currency NOK over time.
@thebangkokguide
@thebangkokguide Жыл бұрын
$1USD = 34THB = 10NOK - the fluctuation is generally about 5% but there have been swings by about 10% with all the pandemic mayhem in the past couple of years. If you factor in the fluctuations, +-10% or about $60 or (600NOK) in your case. It’s a quick google search to convert to any currency. The video is meant to give an approximate cost and USD is the most common global currency to give an understanding of value to people from any country.
@Oggiwara1
@Oggiwara1 Жыл бұрын
I know that. But why not copy the popular channels and add the price in both THB and US$? Then the video would be useful on the fly without all the calculations back and forth...@@thebangkokguide
