hello everyone and welcome back again
into another informative blog from Lille
of Thailand recently there were many
suggestions from my lovely subscribers
and viewers to make a detailed blog
about the cost of living in Thailand and
how to afford a budget reasonable life
in this Southeast Asian country
in this vlog I am going to share with
you my experience and inform about all
the basic expenses that you should spend
while you are living in Thailand besides
all the secondary expenses that you
might spend it
the first thing that you have to decide
before checking your budget is where you
want to live in Thailand cause living in
Bangkok city is not like living in
Chiang Mai or pocket the expenses will
vary in a way or another and things can
get different in the lifestyle and
necessities
[Music]
mostly expects are usually attracted to
Bangkok but some also like to live in
the southern islands like Phuket and
others love to live in more complexes
which is mostly in the north
like Chiang Mai now in general living in
terrific destinations especially in the
islands like Phuket the cost of living
will be high while living in the north
provinces like Chiang Mai the cost of
living will be the most affordable
unless you are attracted to the capital
city then the cost of living can be
varied according to your lifestyle and
needs
[Music]
after you had a general idea about the
cities the first thing that you might
consider is the location of your
accommodation your cost is very
dependable on this if you are living
near the public transportation like in
Bangkok or near main attractions like in
the beach destinations then you might be
considered iran between 500 to $800 in
average the budget can go high according
to the style and luxury but in average
you should stay in between now if you
want to avoid paying such numbers and
you don't have any problem staying away
from the public transportation or the
main attractions then you might find
suitable accommodations that can be
between 250 to 500 dollars which are
considered cheap and affordable as a
lifestyle in Thailand
now if you are thinking how to find a
suitable accommodation especially in
Bangkok there will be a vlog in the
coming week covering the basic points
that you should consider in order to
find an affordable accommodation in
Thailand so wait for it now after
choosing your location and accommodation
then it's time to give you an idea about
your monthly expenses that are
considered basic expenses besides your
monthly rent
[Music]
well electricity is the main expanse
besides urine and here you might be
paying low and high bills in average you
might be paying between fifteen to
thirty dollars per month but in some
cases when you have too much electricity
consumption then your bills can reach
sixty to eighty dollar which is the
maximum
[Music]
now internet is another basic expense
and without it you can't live in
Thailand but fortunately it's a very
fast and cheap sometimes you can have a
package of Internet and Netflix
connections which won't be more than $20
per month coming to cell phones also
like internet you won't be paying more
than 10 to 15 dollars per month and
especially when you are using most of
the time social media platforms to
communicate so that's another cheap
option
[Music]
after you had an idea about your monthly
expenses besides your rent no food and
your daily needs comes next well as
everything this much depends on your
style and your numbers can vary a lot
according what you like but in general
there are two options in power
if you wanna stay on budget then go
local
the options are locked too many cheap
street foods and local restaurants where
you might be spending daily not more
than ten to fifteen dollars for your
basic meals but if you want to go
international and fancy then be ready to
pay we're a basic meal could cost you
more than a thirty dollar so the choice
is yours just like food shopping in
Thailand can vary a lot if you are not
into high-end brands and you love
shopping in local markets bargaining and
buying your basic needs then no worries
you can have a pair of jeans or shorts
with some nice t-shirts without paying
even a $10
[Music]
but if you are original famous brand
fans then don't expect cheap things too
much and just like everywhere you might
be paying at least $60 for an editor's
shows so as you realize it's all about
your style and budget
[Music]
transportation is a basic expense in
Thailand especially if you are living in
the city but fortunately you have all
types of Transportation's from the BTS
sky train into MRT underground metro tuk
tuks taxis motorbikes and even both
taxes now in general if you are using
the public transportation and avoiding
taxes and tuk tuks
then you want to paint a lot where a
journey would be between one to three
dollars moreover if you want to have
some fun and stay local use the board
taxes if available in your route and you
won't be paying more than a dollar so
much fun and little cost
[Music]
now of course you are in Thailand and
life without hangouts is not so fun but
beware too much fun will cost you a lot
so having a beer and some fun will not
cost you too much and you might be
spending a fun night without paying more
than $10 but if you want to pump it up
then get prepared to spend a lot which
is not a good idea if you want to live
in Thailand
besides all we mentioned there are some
site expenses that you might pay in
order to have some comfortable life in
Thailand like gym or maybe some
activities or some domestic traveling's
so all such expenses is upon your
lifestyle and requirements all in all
cost of living in Thailand depends a lot
on your lifestyle and lots of you could
disagree on the numbers but in general
nowadays things are not same like before
and Thailand is not a cheap destination
to live in and a budget of $1,000 per
month is considered an average life
whereas if you want to live a little bit
comfortable you might be spending double
of that
[Music]
so I hope the above explanations and
numbers gave you an idea about the
average cost of living in Thailand and
once you decide to move it will be
helpful for you thank you for watching
