Bangkok Ranks 11th Most Expensive City

Bangkok Climbs to 11th Place Among World’s Most Expensive Cities for Luxury Living

Bangkok has become the 11th most expensive city globally for luxury living, according to the 2025 Julius Baer Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report. The city now leads Southeast Asia in high-end costs, driven by pricey luxury footwear and cars, though services like dining and nail treatments remain relatively affordable. Asia-Pacific remains the fastest-growing wealth hub, with 47.5% of the world’s new high-net-worth individuals expected to emerge from the region by 2028. Bangkok’s rise signals a shift toward experience-driven spending, highlighting its growing importance in the global luxury market.
