What is the estimated monthly budget for living as a volunteer in Chiang Mai?

>next year as a volunteer.

1. As of right now, volunteer visas are not being issued. However, let's assume they are.

2. Assuming your volunteer organization is *NOT* giving you anything like free housing or food (doubtful, but...).

a. A meal from a street vendor is about 40 THB.

b. Housing is about 8K THB for a single person per month.

c. A motorscooter cost to purchase, used, is about 30K THB. Make sure to have a motorcycle license back home through!

d. Health care is not free in Thailand. Doctors fees are about 500THB at a clinic

e. Internet is cheap, you can get an unlimited mobile plan for about 1K THB.

I would budget, depending on your lifestyle, about 30K THB a month. I'm assuming you don't drink or party from your profile.

There are a few Chiang Mai groups that can probably help with accomadation costs.

Second hand bikes (small CC) anywhere between 5000 and cost relative to quality.

Eating local food costs 25 baht to 40 baht for a plate or do as Thais do get rice cooker and go out by different bags of ready made food.
