In BKK you won’t be in the heart of the city without roughing it
Amenities won’t be as nice.
But yes he can do it, just a little tighter and will have to pick his luxuries

I mean rent $30k for a decent place
$15k for a roughing it place
Then You have got food entertainment and travel
You also need to reserve money for regular bills (electricity, phone, internet, etc)
And then of course health insurance (not cheap at that age)
It goes fairly quickly
He will have to pick wisely his fun items
By travel I mean international flights (of course he can take a bus around Thailand)

I went to GRCC so lived in your area and I don’t BLAME you for having depression!
Only thing I miss about the PNW is the food… but compared to Thailand the food is nothing
I’m preparing to move back to BKK (grew up there)
Best thing is to plan for future visits! Something to look forward to
Do I need to book a return flight to Thailand or can I book onward travel to a different country?

You can reserve a ticket for a couple of days and it shows that you have the ticket

Omg
The comment section in Thailand Expat and Thailand Visa advice is more drama than watching lifetime with the box of Kleenexes
At first, I thought it was just kind of despicable and now it actually cracks me up! Lol
😂
