Am I over or under budgeting for a 6-month stay in Thailand?

@Django *********

well I am retired and get >$3000/m income and about a $15k savings buffer. I don’t drink, smoke, party. I hope I can make it. I eat maybe 2 meals a day. I could be full on 2 chicken skewers and a few cups of coffee a day. Health insurance will probably be my biggest expense, probably as much as my rent.
