Legit. This is the most realistic breakdown I’ve seen for a particular lifestyle. I’ve been to Thailand about 7 times and have always wanted to move. I just got back from a 3wk trip there. You got yourself a subscriber

Great breakdown. I was budgeting around 80k baht a month. So glad to see I’m close to your budget. Your food is a bit higher but you have a live in GF. I also added personal care (haircuts , laundry , etc) about 1500 baht a month. Overall though one of the most realistic budgets for sure. Great content. Keep it coming

@iPaulLee Год назад

@Truth-of-the-matter Год назад

I think it depends on your lifestyle and what you are looking for. For myself I could live on less then $1000 USD per month and still have a comfortable life. When I stayed in Bangkok for a month I spent closer to $175-$200 for eating out and grocery shopping. Transportation was relatively inexpensive as well. Regardless when you factor in rent and food costs (eating out) you can save substantially more.

@iPaulLee Год назад

Definitely. There are much cheaper places to rent and food mentioned in this video

@dustin7708 Год назад

Thank you for sharing an actual middle class budget in Bangkok. You can live off $1000 but you won’t be having much fun outside of necessities.

@yubetou52 3 месяца назад

for all the stuff you listed 2k is a good deal! Crazy how affordable it is. you could easily get that to like 1250 with a few changes for anyone looking to live even cheaper. ive seen some studio apartments with pool gym etc for like $200 a month

@brandonjoseph3422 Год назад

Very realistic budget. The $3000 ball park figure gives you a good life in most areas of the world, except in the English speaking countries. Have lived in Costa Rica, Portugal, Bali, Namibia, and my budget was roughly similar to yours. However, when I was living in Bangkok, my expenses were bordering $5300 because of women and weekends in Pattaya. Now that I’m in Chiang mai the cost has fallen down to $2800. It would have been this much if I didn’t have motorcycles.

@iPaulLee Год назад

i agree. chiangmai and hua hin and the other provinces are definitely much more cheaper. cost of women and weekends can definitely add up!

@sherwinh1661 7 месяцев назад

Amazing channel! New subbie here 👋🏾 My husband and I will be moving to Bangkok next month with our pup as well. Good to see you have a nice affordable apartment that is pet friendly. How did you find your pet friendly apartment? (I’ve been having a hard time).

@iPaulLee Год назад

Hey thanks for the support! It was quite difficult as well. Many Bangkok rental sites have a “pet friendly” filter when searching which you can use. Or you can go to Facebook and ask on groups

@Splatypus42 Год назад

I'm in Phnom Penh right now and thinking of moving over to Bangkok this summer. Your budget is a bit higher than mine, but I'm single and don't party that much so maybe 50-60k Baht for me. That's about what I spend here and I live comfortably.

@iPaulLee Год назад

Sounds very comfortable and reasonable

@Kn1ghtMan Год назад

Hi Paul thank you for the content 👍 Chris- I'm curious, after living in PP Cambodia, what would you say are some of the deal breakers that makes Thailand more desirable? From what I've gathered, medical facilities in Cambodia are few and far between in the big cities and almost non existent outside of them. Everything aside, I feel like access to healthcare should be priority for anyone. I really hope the best for Cambodia especially after what they went through but we have to be realistic about life there. I visited Battambang in 2007 and the people were very kind and hospitable though despite me getting ripped off by the taxi service at the Poipet border.

If anyone has never been to Thailand or similar countries you can live a very normal life without Bars , Hookers , etc. and the main thing about budgeting is you can live on very little but what about problems , insurance ,and emergencies. I live in almost any country on 6-800 USD a month not counting the inevitable complications.

@LamNguyen-qb4ic 9 месяцев назад

I just starting like your youtube channel and of course, I subscribe and enjoy to watch it. I plan to move to Pattaya next year probably in April and can I ask how is the living expense in Sept 2023. Is the inflation keep going up or it's slowing down?. I plan to my budget only around 1500 - 1700 on a Monthly basis and I don't know it's enough. Just leave a normal life style and I don't drink and party a lot. I just prefer to leave close to the beach and hopefully the rent is not so crazy like in California. Have a good time in Thailand and good luck.

@iPaulLee 9 месяцев назад

$1500/mo is perfectly enough! That’s roughly how much I’d spend if I was single and didn’t drink haha

@iPaulLee 11 месяцев назад

hey, glad you liked the video. i think it would depend on what needs to be done. I had vaccine shots for around $20-$30 each. i would probably assume a walk in visit would be at least $20-$30 and then more for additional services

Bangkok has a lot of traffic and some parks don’t allow dogs. But you can certainly get by. There are dog parks, hotels, vets, and dog cafes where you can bring your dog to socialize. Prepare to spend a bit more money on finding a condo that will allow dogs to stay. But otherwise great experience!

@bacon.dumpling 8 месяцев назад

Looks like a realistic cost breakdown and seems cheap (compared to the US) but the one piece of information missing here is the income. If you get to keep your US income, it's cheap but if you have a local income, this lifestyle would be unsustainable. According to Glassdoor, even a software engineer there makes on average less than 100K Baht/$2,700 per month (before taxes). That would require a much more frugal lifestyle. Or am I missing something?

@thetotaltraveler 9 месяцев назад

I have worked a budget on my end for Pattaya Beach which will begin in February. This is for one year. I have budgeted at $1800 a month living in Pattaya. I added additional trips (excluding Bali and Hawaii to meet family part way) for 60 days $3,700 USD and add $30 a day which is my average at Pattaya. Technically, $1,800 added and will total of $5,500 on getaways. My Scottsdale, Arizona 4 bedroom home that I will let go, I anticipate to net $48K on a one year furnished lease with a pool. $2k round trip in flights to Arizona to Thailand. The costs would run for $29K and add Bali at $1,500, and Hawaii $3K around $4,500, $33.5K total. Not bad, eh?

Hello Paul. I've been looking at videos for some time about Thailand. And I find in most of Thailand especially Bangkok of course not to be a place to go if you do have small dogs. But I see that you do have yours. Can you suggest some condos in the price range that you typically adhere to that do allow pets and I would appreciate the response from you. I will subscribe to your channel if I hear back from you and become a loyal follower of your channel! Thank you.

hi, i dont know any condos on the top of my head that allow dogs, but you can do a simple search on a website like livinginsider, propertyscout, fazwaz, etc, and filter out by dogs allowed and your budget. i would expect around 20-30,000 baht.
