This is what i have found . I have been living in Thailand from 2000 when it was cheap back then everything was a dollar and rent was 300 for a nice place. Now like the poster at the bottom I spend around $4000 to $6000 with out going to the clubs and GO GO bars. My room is $700 per month and my food is the same if i drink it goes up and if you go out it really goes up
Thailand is not cheap for a person that is used to a middle class or higher class of western life style.
for me its hard to not spend over 4000 USD per month mostly because i will go out with friends. If i stay home and cancel my gym membership and never drink then maybe i would get by on $3000 per month but i could not live for less.
Decent farang-quality bread is 70-100 baht for about 300 grammes.
Most imported beers are 150-250 baht in supermarkets.
In supermarkets a mid-range bottle of wine is 1,500-2,000 baht, but you can find a decent bottle of Chilean wine at 700 baht.
The wines sold at 400 baht are bottom quality, sold in Europe at Aldi, etc. at 2-3 Euros.
Phuket traders and taxi drivers very greedy. Spoil it for tourists- would never go back to Phuket, but will be travelling to Pattaya and Bkk in October.
I have lived and visited many places in Thailand and the brits are no worse than anyone else, and to say there are lots of homeless brit alchoholics sleeping rough is utter garbage. I have met lots of British ex-pats and they are generally pleasant and well behaved and Jomtien/Pattaya would be a poorer place without them.
You sound like a very sad and bitter person.
but go to Jamiesons & a pint is 150baht? in a social club/sports club about the same so as the cost of these luxuries get closer together you then have to take into consideration the cost of health care in the UK & the cost in Thailand.
We pay nothing to see a doctor or have a operation how much is it in Thailand?
This comparison site doesn't reflect the real differences between the two countries as most people moving to Thailand aren't young people they're going to need medical attention sooner than later.
many come back to the UK just for the hospital some come back for free education back here in the UK but with looking at the above prices & then looking at what this site says is the cost in the UK some one has put down false figures.
I wish you well in Thailand but if the Baht keeps getting stronger against the pound,dollar & the Euro how much longer can foreigners afford to live there?
so in reality if you live in Pattaya city & do not need to use cars or busses then is it any cheaper to live in thailand?
I have Solar Panels & my monthly bill for gas & Electric at this moment is £27 a month bht175 if I've done my sums right.
Indeed I believe you may find cheaper one somewhere else.
You should expect to pay more for meal than the price listed.
Thailand is getting more and more expensive even more than Taiwan where the salary is 3 times higher.
Hope Thailand would look forward for long term instead of short term with rip off on tourists with 150 bath ATM fee, departure tax and more than reasonable expense such as accommodation, food, drink and so on or else might lose the attractions which are in tourists' mind, cheap and good service which bring fortune to Thailand until now.
