Travel Destination NewsFor You – A Decent Lifestyle in Thailand
I received this message from my great friend Michael in Germany today…
Hi Dennis…I was going through your Escape to Thailand website and also talking to a Thai friend living here in Germany… I was wondering…From your experience how much does a decent lifestyle cost in Thailand?…
Let me give you my parameters…A small place (80-100 cm)…Near the beach…Not necessarily on the beach and not in a city…Very few demands…Motorcycle for transport…No car…Need internet access…Not a big partier and not big into nightlife…Round of golf once in a while…
Just interested in this for various reasons…But just a ballpark figure would be nice…USD 2,000 a month do it?…
Michael…USD 2,000 a month is worth Baht (B) 68,000…At B 34/USD 1…You can live a very decent lifestyle here in Thailand…The Land of Happy Smiles…
Take me for example…I live in Phayao in North Thailand…The rent per month in my new studio furnished apartment is B 2,000…Water & Electricity per month B 200…Weekly living expenses B 2,000…Total for a month is B 10,200…USD 300…If I go WILD…It’s never more than USD 500…
Michael…A lovely beach resort is Hua Hin 200 kms south of Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand…Here there is excellent accomodation to suit all tastes and budgets & the sports facilities…Especially golf are excellent…

People ask me…How much does it cost to live in Thailand?…My answer is it depends on how much beer you drink…There are lots of other ways to waste ALL your money…As many people do…
Michael I hope this helps you in your search for…A Decent Lifestyle in Thailand…
And now…Are you looking for a laugh or a break in the day?…Here is a great website for you from my Escati business partner in USA…Dan Nickerson…
