Who lives on 20k a month ?

[WDSmart]

I don't think you could live on THB 20K a month, or at least you couldn't live very well. I live in a rural area up in the mountains, and some of my neighbors who live in bamboo huts probably live on that or less, but it's not what I would call a very pleasant lifestyle.

Obviously, you learned nothing, and have to ask everything you can imagine here at Asean Now.

Going by what I have read on this thread. Possibly the HQ of the Pattaya Balcony Skydiving Club.

No, it's mainly occupied by young Thai Gogo bar girls. 

Average rental is around 2000 baht per month. 

 

Because it's mostly occupied by Thai's, not like Nirun, mostly foreigners, you don't get many foreigners falling from height. 

 

Sadly, Nirun is very different, if walking through common areas, always look up.

It all depends on LOCATION.  Have lived in Pattaya ( 2 years ), BKK (3 years ) and KORAT 5 years.

 

MY look at BASIC MONTHLY it in detail, LAST MONTH

 

2 Mobile phone's 440

Internet / cable TV 445

Water 147

Electricity 1650 ( fan day AC night )

Food 8000+

Transport 260 round trip 1 time a month to bank.

Mortgage ( Her condo in BKK) 2200

Rent ( 2BR "now" furnished in Korat ) 4500

 

( Furniture / stuff taken from  BKK condo and new 16,000 on move to Korat.

Electric tricycle 10,000 ( saves 3000+ monthly for transport )

Locally: 4 MAJOR stores, FARMERS market, free fishing lake, many mom & pop stores. & 7-11,  Immigration ... 15 or less minutes from my location via tricycle - now, 10 new strip mall stores opening.

 

.....If I take away 2BR house COSTS, Remove tricycle COST, and MOVE back to condo outside BKK, under 20,000

 

WHY NOT:  No money down on a LARGER condo purchase and NEW LARGER mortgage - I'M 80 Years old, QUIET neighborhood in Korat and services are close.

 

I could do if I was in my 50's and single, depending again on LOCATION where living, and have monies left over.

 

BUT

I DO bank monies for FUTURE medical services - INSURANCE is impossible.

 

Oh, no pool, I have to swim in a natural lake - thus save 20,000 a month for pool cleaning.   😁

 

Side note:

Today wife went to farmers market, bought 10+ days ( 2 daily side dishes  ) of veggies for 460bt. 😀

My life, Nirun Condo rock bottom end of the line for you then. Wouldn't live in that Sh#thole if they paid me £20,000 a month. 🤣😂🤣
