good morning everyone i hope you are all having a wonderful time so lots of people are interested
to know how much they should spend in order to live here in bangkok or maybe how much i spent
in order to stay here in bangkok so in today's vlog i'm gonna share with you all the details
that you should know from the accommodation into transportation the food the shopping
and also the small details from the haircut massage session the entertainment
and everything you need to know if you are willing to come and live here
in bangkok so it will be very useful and informative vlog let's start it right now
now of course the first thing that you should spend on it while you are staying in thailand
is your accommodation it's so important to know where to stay and how much to pay
i have made lots of vlogs about this in details you can check it in the description
but in today's vlog i'm gonna tell you that usually if you want to stay
in thailand for a long time you should not pay more than 300 to 400 per month
now if you are wondering what you can get by paying 300 to 400 per month in bangkok let me show
you a little bit around my condo but of course for long term stays and not for short term space
now guys the second expense that you should know is about transportation
you should know which transportation to take and use in order to save time and money
now for me i usually use the public transportation like the mrt and the
bts because they are the fastest way but of course they are not the cheapest way
so if you want to stay in thailand you should know which kind of transportation
to use for example now i'm standing in a pier and i'm gonna use the boat
taxi to show you that this is one of the cheapest way of transportation in thailand
so guys as you saw that was an 11 but right from nana to protonam usually if you want to take
the bts it will cost you more but let me tell you something that the cheapest way is not the fastest
way so if you want to save time you have to take the mrt or vts but if you want to save money
you can use the boat taxi so if you're not in hurry both taxi is a very cheap way to transport
from one place to another and as you saw we have paid only 11 bet to come from nana pier to protona
so after the accommodation and the transportation the third thing you should know is about the food
how much you should spend on food while you are living in bangkok so i'm gonna tell you my
own experience there is a big difference if you are going to spend on local food or street food
or international food because the range is totally different if you are going to eat locally you're
going to save lots of money but if you are going to eat international food sometimes you could pay
more than the price that you are paying at your hometown
so as i was saying if you want to stay local and eat local food then you are going to save a lot
because the options are a lot when i'm saying local food it doesn't mean only street food
of course street food is so cheap in thailand but also you have sometimes options to eat in
fancy malls in food courts and pay as less as you are going to pay at the street food
so all in all guys if you want to stay local you are not going to spend more than two to 300 bucks
per day but if you are going to eat international in thailand sometimes you might pay more than the
price that you are paying in your hometown so in average the dishes are from 300 to 600 bucks and
if you are going to eat fast food then you are going to pay also from 200 to 400 baht per meal
as i said for your daily shopping always hit the fresh market because you are going to find
a lot of good deals for example like this one for mangoes only for 30 baht or maybe a big pack of
bananas for 30 but also where you can buy the same items from 7-eleven which much more higher prices
that was an idea about the food now jump into another expense which is the shopping in bangkok
now guys if you are going to shop in local markets like chatuchak market or pratunam
then you are going to save a lot because you are going to pay
mostly between 100 to 300 baht for each item so that's the average of local shopping in thailand
but if you are going to buy branded items then you are going to pay a lot because these items
are not that much cheap in bangkok there are too many fancy and luxury malls in
thailand and if you want to shop inside them then i am sure you are going to pay a lot
so it all depends on your preferences if you want local shopping then you can go to
local markets like chatuchak pratunam or maybe mbk that has also affordable items
and save a lot of money but if you love fancy shopping
then there are a lot of luxury and fancy malls in thailand where items are not cheap and of
course prepare yourself to pay a lot while you are shopping in this fancy malls in bangkok
now another thing guys i'm gonna tell you about the massage sessions that you might spend
while you are staying in bangkok of course you are going to have some massage sessions but in average
if you are doing in common places then you are going to pay between 200 to 250 baht per session
so finally guys i am back to my condo and here we can talk about the details
and about how much you might spend if you are living in bangkok so we started from the
accommodation after that the transportation the food the shopping the daily shopping the mustard
sessions and another thing i want to talk about the haircut also if you want to do haircuts in
bangkok they range from 100 to 300 for me i pay 120 baht and it's located just next to my condo
so guys if we are going to make a conclusion now and tell you how much you might pay if you are
going to live in bangkok then i would say that it starts from your accommodation accommodation is
the biggest expense and after that your food so if you choose the right accommodation as i said which
should range from 300 to 400 per month then you would save a lot of money and concerning your food
it depends on your style if you are going to go local then also you are going to save a lot of
money but if you are going to go international then you are going to spend a lot of money
on your food also this goes for the shopping so always beware go local to save lots of money
so all in all if you want to live in bangkok you should be prepared to spend between
800 to 1500 as an average if you want to live a good life in bangkok i'm not talking about
fancy life i'm talking about normal life which is staying in a good accommodation
and eating good food and also doing all the things that you can do in bangkok
so guys i hope this vlog was helpful for you
