  • Popular Post

lived this last 7days in sukhumvit from 200-300 THB  per day

my routine here

 

Wake up early ,

1x  coffee from 7/11 = 14 THB 

 

1x dry noodle pork soup = 50 THB

 

1× big aura mineral water = 22 THB

 

Proceed to return to room to relax , sleep, TV , Wifi  and shower.

 

Mid day

 

1x chicken rice =50 thb

 

1x M 150 = 10 thb

 

1x fruit  from vender = 20 THB

 

 

Proceed to return to room, Sleep , TV , aircon, WIFI resting .

 

 

Night time is here.

1x Hamburger/coke/fries 69 THB

 

1x 7/11 ice cream 15 THB .

 

Proceed to wonder around sukhumvit and people watch followed by sleep and relax in room.

 

My conclusion is if you dont drink, Thailand is actually a very cheal country to  live in, 10000 THB per month should cover basic living and provide enough free time to work on personal improvement.

 

Exersize, study, self improvement and learning thai.

Good post, could you live cheaper say in Pattaya ?

 

Also you need to watch the nutrition aspect too though, no used living on junk food

 

A lot of fat farang would lose weight on that diet though

Anything's possible, But for now i think Bangkok is a better option.

 

Pattaya would take a higher level of self control, Here in bangkok I prefer to be a little bit poor , It helps control urges.

Depends on your life and values I guess

 

Years ago i met a old guy in Pattaya 75yo who had come from Australia and existed on his old age pension, i think then it was around 40k a month with the exchange rates,

 

He loved  living frugally and bought all his food at the markets nearby and cooked it himself,mostly veggies etc 

 

didnt drnk,didnt smoke he was far the happiest old B i had ever met

and  very fit too, used to walk from jomtien to pattaya a few times a week

You are not living in Thailand,just another big city,to live in the real Thailand you will hhave to go upcountry and take Kellersphuket with you,looks like you need each other.

Should keep both your lives interesting.

It very much feels like thailand, the locals speak thai, they serve thai food , the tv is in thai, Safe to say this is thailand.
