na that’s right . It’s so funny looking at these comments, y’all must be so terrible with your spending habits , it’s no wonder the average person doesn’t have $1000 in their savings account. Humble yourselves a little 🤣

pretty impossible to live like that as a farang. That is a very Thai style lifestyle. Maybe double that and might be more realistic.

my buddy lives in a nice shop house in On Nut. His rent is ฿6000 a month and it’s fully furnished. He has a motorbike that he paid cash for. His teaching salary is ฿45,000 per month. He lives pretty well and goes somewhere every other weekend for a getaway. He has a Thai wife and I think she makes around ฿20,000 per month. A lot of her money goes into a their savings account. I’ve been married for 10 or 12 years.Dan ******
@Nigel *************
it depends on how frugal or luxury your life style is. What I told above was considered "frugally". ( Because Thailand has a lot of prices for you to buy; everything has its cheap and it's expensive counterparts)U can even save more money cooking everything yourself, or sharing an apartment with a friend or a family member .

@Dan *****
so basically we all cannot truly answer the OP's questionDan ******
@Nigel *************
living well is subjective. Sometimes u can buy a buffet in Bangkok for ฿79 or u can eat ฿249 buffet at Narai pizzeria Shabu. It is considerably much lower than developed countries5-8 times.
