Dude, I'm not inviting you to my house. You seem kind of angry.

[mercman24]

when in the UK i sold my MERC and hired a friends car for 3 months, in that time i only used it once for a longish journey(100 ks) i could buy a nice car here tomorrow and have it standing in my garage, (million baht stood up doing nothing), or stopped in a traffic jam.i can get the skytrain into central bangkok for 31 baht, taxi home at 3 am 60 baht, 9 baht bus to go to big C and tesco lotus, or the bus to Pattaya for 108 baht,   3 years now and dont miss my own transport one bit

[beachproperty]

I've already shown that costs for transportation is more expensive

Now to show housing is more expensive!

UK average price of a house is 200,000 pounds (8,561,000 baht)

Thailand the average price of a house is 75,000 pounds (3,213,750)

and from the condominium is also often needed for dirty street go to taxi.

[sandemara]

How come people don't compare some of the priceless things in both countries - freedom of expression, political comment, travel, or education and health standards, personal safety, travel and traffic etc?  Such issues make "cost of living" discussions a little lop-sided, if not relevant.

Thailand is not for you obviously, but maybe you'd find fault wherever you live. I know I pay more for some items in Thailand than back in Australia, but overall, I still prefer to live here. I think your post achieves nothing, just an excuse to be argumentative.

You are just cherry-picking. You ignore the many items that are much cheaper in Thailand and just zoom in on the ones that are more expensive. You are tiresome.

There i say NOTHING?

 Transport? only taxi.. But need car car its much more expensive!!

 energy bill  are you seriose? how much its in your budget? in my it few percent!!

Housing? only low quality.. but if even its  calculate

 in first post i say do you disagree about budget?

I feel like a normal person budget is:

1. 15%- Transport

2. 10%- household staff spending

3. 15%-  household  spending

4. 10%- entertainment

5. 10%- hobby

6. 15%- children

7. 110%- food 

8.  15% personal staff

 

household its only 15% spending!!

so in total YES its highest cost life in Thailand than in UK
