Can you REALLY live in PATTAYA on $1000 Per Month?? You will be Surprised!! 

Actually even you do not drink at all it will still be easy for some and nearly impossible for others so what you said is a huge oversimplification of the issue. Whether you stay in your own country or move to Thailand some people are just going to be good at living on a budget while others will not be. Obviously anyone CAN live on that amount since millions of Thais do it with no problem. But whether a particular individual will do it or not is another story altogether. Anyway the biggest variable here after rent is food of course. Some people will spend less than 7000 a month on food and others might spend more than 30,000 a month on food without even realizing it. And of course, to live cheaply you not only need to eat mostly Thai food but you also have to find the cheaper Thai options. If you like to eat a lot of Western food however you will be in trouble. For example back home in California I could easily live on a food budget of $150 a month making all my own meals at home. But making those same dishes here would cost a fortune. The bottom line is if you only have $1000 a month and no savings this means the people who cannot budget well will be running out of money before the month is even half over. Also people have to keep in mind that your actual income here can vary a lot depending on the exchange rate. For example just a few years ago that $1000 was less than 30,000 baht a month and then about 6 months ago it was nearly 40,000 baht per month. So what you have to live on can vary drastically over time.

@@SLOBeachboy Dining In is a must. Many simple meals can be made at home for short money. Eating out when convenient, bars and entertainment will KILL any budget in any nation. Pattaya is not alone with that reality. $1000...best of luck mate 😅

you can not spend too much money on nightlife if you are on budget but you can get a girl on beach road for dessert sometimes....

you became a wanker No.:1

@@SLOBeachboyYou can live on $150 a month at home. That’s $5 a day😂 rice and beans I suppose.

Oh yeah if you don't drink easy

I agree, I willbe retitring there in Decemebr 2025

@@luisRoma747 lucky. I'm trying my hardest to get a online business I can run without inventory. All digital products and affiliate marketing. I know all I need is $1000 a month I know it. I can't stand America at this point

it's not a dream day once you get accustomed to the surroundings. you can only walk the same beach so many times, and eat only 3 small meals as your daily expenses. Things like getting semi-regular massages or fruit treats, ice creams, and a variety of other diversions or activities throughout your day in order to make it fun will add up. guaranteed you drink more than you think you would once you've been there, especially if you make friends. also no transport was included, nor any average for out of city travel. guarantee you that 1k a month lifestyle would be boring af pretty quick.

@@johns783 I'm just a simple man. I actually enjoy writing so I feel like the peace would help my mind to focus on my writing goals. I practice omad also so one big meal at 5pm is good for me. Only thing I'd want more of was a yard to have a garden. I image after a few years in the city I'd move to the countryside and start a small farm. A farm in THIALAND sounds like true heaven.

Agree 1000%

@@tim69hum 1000 Euro is 38.000 baht. Minus rent and utilities is 30.000 baht left. 1000 baht a day goes a long way if you stay out of the bars. Making videos is a Full time job and i enjoying life too much to spend time on making "content". Enough content creators here in Thailand, i see them Everywhere here 😁 Keis is making good videos, better then watching Netflix, etc. My point is that 1000 Euro/dollar a month is possible. A medium Thai salary (University degree) is around 25.000 baht and they live an oke life in that in Thailand 😉

Yeah nice!! So many nay-sayers out there!

Once a week satiating the vampire thirst down soi 6 an she'll be right maaate

Many in the Philippine's are happy satisfied and doing well on $1000 - $1500 SS checks - some even with girl friends. -- A somewhat frugal life is needed I'm sure ? -- Quite a few I hear are (out of necessity) 'surviving' on $900 checks in less expensive areas. -- Extravagance is expensive in both countries !

@@frankkluz9787 I have suffered from PTSD most my life but was finally doing better because I had a garden and worked from home. Then I was attacked in Portland Oregon and it brought all those memories of trauma back to the surface. I have little to no appetite and barely sleep. If I get approved for disability I'm moving to thialand.

Exactly, these videos make it seem like its the life when its really not much life at all. No exploring or having fun really. If you’re 75, you might make it. If you’re younger its a wrap.

True ..u need the extras like health insurance, travel insurance, travel costs etc

Wrong

Or more can u have fun/good life … nope

The question is- how much will you enjoy yourself.

Better than in England or anywhere else in west Europe ! This video was clear enough 4 your how !

Thanks so much, thanks for being a member!!

I would kill to see you do a Vlog series in India!!!!

No it isn't. The biggest S hole in Thailand avoid at all costs

he's saying he's drinking and getting himself some expensive company on the regular.

@@johns783 - His messages must be including "happy endings"!

The baht busses are 10 baht each time.. The tip is, Don’t ask the price!

@keisone I come from Bangsare it's 20 Baht

A good budget AND spending discipline.

Bring your swimsuit, November weather can be very wet.

yes its the oil and does the same for me, only option long term is cook yourself.

Also following

Maybe if you are on holidays and paying for hotels but rent makes it considerably cheaper 🥳

$3,000 is still reasonable.

Thanks mate! Off shortly 🥳

I see the crew is here :D last couple of times I have just liked your comments :D

The new update is quick again in the Netherlands 😜🍻

​@@Sonny.E Yes, well done Champ 🏆. I think you only like gold medals 🥇 😀

​@@CarnisChampion Cheers 🍻 Carnis. Good to see you here too 👍

Pattaya plus 100k a week for baht buses is one of the most walkables places I have lived Many restaurants deliver and Thai girls will willingly fetch $5 or 6 worth of food for the two of u and bring it to your home. They will also cook for u I only need them twice a week and have a dozen I could call None are on my payroll.
