Chiang Mai budget

Featured Replies

Ok so I saw this backpackers vs rich older guys argument on a different thread...

 

Well interestingly ... I am in a kind of in between - I'm in my 30's and will be visiting Chiang Mai for 3 months (investigating whether to live there with my budget) - together with my wife and 9 y/o son...... while we are no backpackers...our monthly budget is around 1,200 Euros in normal spending money (with some tucked away for any emergency).

 

I wonder how we will do with this budget, I have a feeling we can do well, although many here told me we won't. With this budget we did great all over Hungary, Ukraine, Russia (Asian Part),  Azerbaijan and Mongolia - we stayed for 1 year in each place......  

 

we normally rent a 1 bedroom basic appt - in the center so that we dont need a lot of transport or a car.....

we don't cook at home, eat out, go for walks, go for sport activities, visit parks and places of interest... I occasionally go to bars, and my wife occasionally goes shopping - but both with moderation.

we blend into the society through activities of interest such as table tennis (going to an actual club) and chess, and any other thing that might help us make local friends....

 

What is your Opinion guys? we have managed in so many countries, will we manage in Thailand? and specifically in Chiang Mai? :) 

Plenty. 

 

30,000B a month is enough to cover the basics comfortably for a family of three, you have 20,000B spending money on top.

 

Of course, some can't live without Duke's and David's Kitchen and will say its impossible.
