So, Finy, here's a view of my Bt.7000 per month studio at Nakornping...

Don't mean to be rude, but that would be fine for a couple of days as a hotel room. How could anyone stay in a small space like that for more than a couple of days? I would get so claustrophobic I would snap. Certainly some of the people on this site don't live like that in their home countries. Why do it here?

Seriously!

In London all I could afford was a room a lot smaller than that with shared bathroom and kitchen, and without a balcony.The alternative was a larger room with 3 hours daily travelling time to work. Hundreds of thousands of people live like that.

I agree. no one I've ever known in Europe, North America (O.K. maybe someone I met in Mexico), South America, Asia...would live like that, unless of course they were a student.

All this tells me is that you don't know, or have ever known anyone anywhere who might be of modest means.

Each to their own ... He had 15k budget so suggestions of a perfectly decent 7k bed sit are as usefull as those for a 30k modern 1bed condo with all the trimmings ...
