RU-vid and TikTok videos spreading false information about the low cost of living in Thailand can be aggravating. These videos often exaggerate or oversimplify the expenses associated with living in the country, painting an unrealistic picture for viewers. It's important to be wary of such content and do thorough research to get a more accurate understanding of the actual cost of living in Thailand.

My experience with third world prices is, that everything local is cheap, but everything imported is more expensive than in your country.

The worst thing about guys doing tiktoks, is they consider it completely appropriate to not wear a shirt. No shirt in public, in the market, in the mall, in the bank etc. Absolutely clueless, and no respect for Thais or their tiktok viewers.

Yep spot on. Thailand is becoming more expensive than western countries now. Western food chains, brand name shopping, hotels to name a few. Only thing that remains fairly consistent price wise is 7-11 pricing for convenience snacks and drinks.

Money is subjective, everyone has their own experience with it. For me, Thailand is not cheap. Japanese soapy 4-6k per hr. Soi 6, 1k lady drinks then 3k bar fine + 4k Lt. Gogo bar is about the same but riskier. Club girls 6-10k LT. mcd regular coffee 100 baht! On the other side, some of your viewers complain that they got "scammed" because a bar girl asked for 10-20k at the end of a multi-day or even weeks of companionship.

@starlover123 2 месяца назад

@@Rodderz1 how do you bargain with spa, gogo bar, and soi 6 mamasan? Personally, I don't bargain with girls, I just move on to a new girl if she asks for more than 5k for LT. 3-4k for LT is very "friendly" nowadays. I have to work a bit to build a good connection first, which means a couple of lady drinks. @Thailand Bound, See, Money and prices are subjective and everyone has their own experience with it.

Dude, there’s no way I am paying that much for any woman in Thailand or anywhere. I have had threesomes for 2k total in Bangkok them coming to my hotel. They have also stayed with me until like 3pm the next day for 2k. If they say no, I just move on to the next one. 3k bar fine? Wth?

I think these girls/places saw you coming. Dress down, not up. Remove any jewelry or watches before going out. These places will always start at the highest price, it's up to you to bargain down. 4-6k for a 1 hr Japanese soapy? Unheard of 😮!!@@starlover123

I haven’t been to Thailand yet (hopefully in November) but I’m guessing my expenses would definitely be way cheaper. I’m in San Francisco Bay Area so 1 bedroom apartments run about $2,000/month, food around $500, insurance (if not paid by your employer) $900+/month, etc

@Lord-DJ 2 месяца назад

I live in a 3 bed, two bathroom detached house with a shared pool and gym in a Bangkok suburb, THB 20,000; Electricity 3,000 THB, Food (never eat out so potatoes, meat, veg from market etc) same price as UK.; cooking gas negligible. As long as you don't go out it is very cheap. No pathetic rip-off prices like in UK, eg Parking, Community Rip-Off Charge. I am saving GBP 5-7K per year on a fairly low teachers salary, that is impossible to do in the UK.

Got to wonder how a Thai can survive on the daily wage, which is about to go up to a minimum 400 Baht per day. But yeah, an expat or tourist it's very expensive as most probably can not survive on Thai food alone, or Thai accommodation. Still shake my head when people say healthcare is cheap in Thailand, while it's slow but free in my country unless it's urgent or life threatening, then it's no wait. But dentists is where Thailand wins hands down! I will always fly to Thailand just for expensive inplants as you get an implant for a third, the cost of my home country and a great vacation!

@michaelbuxbaum2552 2 месяца назад

I was in Thailand for the first time in February; spent time in Bangkok and Phuket. Yo are absolutely correct; everything depends on the type of lifestyle you want to have. I calculated that if I wanted a nice apartment, car, entertainment, twice weekly, travel and not constantly worry about cost I would need at least $5000 per month which is about 185000 bath, not exactly cheap. Also keep in mind the apartments in Bangkok are very small; I saw 80 square meters at a nice building renting for 80000 bath; for comparison I live in 370 square meter house in Washington so I would have to seriously downsize. So ultimately it comes down to how well you want to live . Peace

@RealSerie26 2 месяца назад

$5,000/month is a millionaire lifestyle, i.e. 2-week vacation money. Most people aren’t going for that.

@robertgrey6101 2 месяца назад

Pete, the trouble is dills don't do their research. Research on where they'd like to live, such as neighbourhood, supermarkets and other types of markets. Transport modes available and cost. Rent ?? Apartment size ?? Overheads, electricity, water, medical or med insurance, cost of hospitals if working on cheap Charlie tour. Cost of meals even street food. Drinks per day. Self control is one attribute they don't have. Ability to think laterally to work out how much their life style will cost is another attribute they don't have. Also how long are they prepared to live a boring cheap hamstrung lifestyle?? So much for my whinging on this matter. Love your posts, Pete.

Hi Peter. I agree that it's unrealistic to think you can live in Thailand on $1000. For example , I inquired about a retirement visa from an agency and they quoted me 35000 thb and then 16000 each year following. I think the people who make these videos are just looking for subscribers by appealing to our desire to leave our unsatisfactory lives in the West and retire on next to nothing surrounded by beautiful Thai women catering to our every desire. Wake up and smell the roses, like you say before it's too late.

@KaStorF 2 месяца назад

While I generally agree with your points - The rent one is missing the point. Sure, there are some facts that the other RU-vidrs leave out about the additional costs to getting your own place, but that doesn't matter. Rent in the west is easily 2-10x (depending on the country and city) higher than in Thailand, so even with the things they don't tell you, it's still so much cheaper to rent in Thailand. I'm saying this as a western European who moved to Thailand less than a year ago.

@ThailandBound 2 месяца назад

Yes I get that but that wasn't my issue my issue was that you can't simply live out here on $800 a month when you're out partying every night that's what these guys do they're not living in a small village somewhere with a Thai girl eating vegetables that they bought from a market. I also pointed out in the video that yes you could live here cheaper than the UK and I explained how I guess you missed that part thanks for your comment
