Is 1000 euros enough to live in Thailand for a few months?

@Abey ********

If you’re in Bangkok it will definitely be costlier than where I am, 3+ hours away. However, I have stayed in some decent places on the outskirts of the city that have a reasonable charge. I can’t recall the name of them but I could look them up if you’re interested in suggestions for lodging.

@Abey ********

It depends on your lifestyle, I guess. I’ve been here all year and I manage on 1,000 baht or less per day on most days, excluding groceries day, when it might be closer to 2,000. My living accommodations run to about 200+ baht per day.

Should be 220 baht per transaction, + whatever fee your home bank charges.

Why did I get interrogated during my border run in Thailand?

@Rc ******

Oh good, since I hope to go there before the year is over. I have 8 blank pages left, but they can go quickly here (my passport expires in 2+ yrs).

I have, but an officer at the immigration office where I received a 30-day extension said processing it will take 1 year. I have an Indian visa or I can try to go to Malaysia, which allows 3-month stays, and wait it out there.

$250,000 US, I think, if that’s the one I read about. 🧐

UK and other countries aren’t even using stamps now. I foolishly got a vanity stamp from a museum there last year…I say foolishly because at the time I didn’t know I’d be coming to Thailand at the end of the year and they’d be using up my pages like nobody’s business. 🤣

I have a US passport. At any rate, I’ll figure out what to do when I reach that point, if I ever do the way it’s going. I have a 10-yr visa in India so I can stay there long-term if needed.
