Is living in Thailand expensive?
How do you think living in Thailand it's expensive one? 🤔
Answer summary
The cost of living in Thailand is subjective and varies greatly depending on individual lifestyle choices, location, and personal spending habits. Residents note that while some areas, especially tourist-heavy locales like Bangkok and Phuket, can be quite expensive, there are also many affordable options available, particularly in rural or less tourist-centric areas. Lifestyle choices play a significant role—having a Western lifestyle with imported goods and dining in expatriate restaurants can lead to higher expenses, while opting for local foods and cheaper accommodation can result in a more economical living experience. Overall, experiences differ widely among expatriates, leading to the conclusion that Thailand can be either very affordable or expensive based on how one chooses to live.

It varies depending on where you are I'm sort of north East Thailand and I find it cheap Tourist areas of Bangkok or pattaya can be a different story

Depends on your lifestyle.

It gets more expensive by the week. I've lived here 20+ years and everything has gone up. The strong baht is responsible for the hurt I, and many ex-pats are experiencing. Many are considering moving on. I am looking at Vietnam.

Totally agree with many comments here.Thailand can be very affordable or very expensive — it really depends on lifestyle, location, and expectations.
Live like a European = higher costs.
Adapt locally = much more affordable.
There’s no single answer, and that’s what makes Thailand interesting 😊🇹🇭

If you find housing that fits your budget, don’t eat western food all the time, and don’t go out drinking, Thailand is very affordable.

Depends on your style of living and what you’re comparing with.
When you’re living European or western style of living Thailand is more expensive than Europe because everything is import with high taxes.
Bangkok is ranked 11 most expensive cities in the world for luxury lifestyle.
When you’re living like a Thai then it’s cheaper but it’s not suitable for the long term.

If you want to live like a European in Thailand it's more expensive. If you happy to only live on Thai food.Which most europeans can't or don't want to it can be reasonable i don't understand people who move here and want to live on. Pennies, you move somewhere like this to enjoy the rest of your life.

Depends where and how you live. Drink wine and eat expat food and live in fancy condo = expensive. Eat local food and drink water/fresh fruit juice and live in older condo or in a more rural area = very affordable. For those of us coming from cold climates, the savings on heating utility alone are enormous.

David *******
All depends if you have an expensive wife/girlfriend 😆😆
Mick *****
Sure things have gone up a little as they have everywhere and yes the strong Baht means less on conversion so your foreign currency does not go as far however comparatively speaking it is still cheaper than a lot of places. I think the biggest misconception comes from tourists not expats, the idea everything is cheaper in Thailand just is not true although the basic necessities of life certainly are affordable.

Depends entirely on your lifestyle and accommodation expectations..
It can be cheap compared most western countries if you want it to be..
Or if your expectations and lifestyle exceeds your available finances you will quickly have problems..
Stay well away from the expense southern islands and popular tourist destinations would be a good start.

Been living in LOS >20 yrs on $1.2k-2k per month, with non working wife and 2 kids in private Thai schools, yet live better than my local neighbors. Used to have a car, now have 3 scooters. KISS method: no luxury condos/houses, stay away from beach resorts and expat restaurants. Live a normal life, and you still live better than the family next door. The trick is to live a *normal* life. You will never find yourself on the wrong side of the balcony. Cheers.

yes, you hit it on the nail. It is lfestyle choices. I see *a lot* of expats who live a life they could not even dream of at home. They move here and turn into "two week millionaires". Why is it they cannot live a normal life, like the rest of the locals that surround them? Am very saddened during flying season for those who lived the life of the rich and famous. My 2 bedroom with A/C rent is $190/mo and my shrimp fried rice is $2. A beer is $1.1. Is it really that ugly? Oh by the way, this is in Phuket. The drawback is that the songtew to the nearby beach is $2-3 each way. Been here since before the tsunami. My two cents.

i didn’t find it required much planning besides common sense and basic adulting. Health insurance is less than I paid in europe, rent, food, utilities, heck even buying and owning a car way cheaper. And I live in central Bangkok, not in a tiny shoebox, Health insurance definitely do go up with age though.
The hidden cost is typically from western luxuries that would be equally expensive in the west. Or just naiveté

Ive eaten at many places in Bangkok where the food was 300 USD or more for dinner. Hotels are outrageous unless you stay in a 1 star. You think living there is rough. Try being a tourist. You have to eat street food every day or 7 and live in the Gutter to keep it affordable, I spend a ฿1 million baht in two months. I’m not gonna live like a bum. I see these guys living in Thailand renting out a trashcan just to keep things affordable . I mean what kind of life is that?

The exchange rate has steadily dropped the last year but if you look at a five-year picture it's been worse and better. Those of us that have been here for 10 years learned to move money when it's a good rate and wait to move money when it's a bad rate.
