Living in Thailand is very cheap?


Recommended Posts

407 THB is 10 meals for me here.....

But in EU that's cheap. In many countries just a glass of vine is 10 e.

 

How's weather? Torre is very popular for expats.

Rent is 450 EUR for an apartment with lift near the beach (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, etc.).
Electricity and water have not arrived yet, but the previous tenant paid 35 a 40 EUR monthly on electric and about 15 EUR on water.
I paid on arrival 20 EUR for a SIM card with Internet and Calls (Orange)
Yes, I can still afford to dine out and drink my glass of wine.

 

You're already paying double for a beach condo, double for water, and double for phone/internet.  I assume the previous tenant couldn't afford to run the AC.

I think you have to remember that you're in a country where the food you're eating is quite cheap.  No offense, but it doesn't really look high quality for Europe.  This means you need to compare it with the same kind of food in Thailand (not the exact same dish).

 

By the looks of the photos, where you're eating looks comparable with a Thai outdoor restaurant selling most everyday dishes for around 40-60 baht.

 

So, what you're eating in these photos, could be up to ten times cheaper in Thailand.

Will i get a glass of wine with my meal for 40-60 Baht?
Where in Thailand?

Wow.  Free Bread with some spread, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, ketchup and mayo.


never seen that kind of generosity from a restaurant before. 🙄

 

The dinner looks pretty sad too.  The salad looks like they had to strategically place every piece so that the plate wouldn’t show through.  The fries and chicken don’t look all that great.

 

Looks like a 200 baht meal max.  
 

add 10 baht for the egg.

 

A whole 5 star chicken is 149 baht.

Why compare the price of food in one country with the cost of wine, or anything else, from  another country?

It's a post on a forum.

Great, but are 20 year old cute girls available to accompany you?

Because when deciding where to live the cost of living is a major consideration

Agreed, but one usually compares like for like items otherwise it is not a comparison, just a list!
