Cost of Living in Pattaya

Milk is 91.75 baht for a two-litre bottle.
Decent farang-quality bread is 70-100 baht for about 300 grammes.

Local beers (Heineken, etc. included) are not 50 cl., but 32-33 cl. and 62-63 cl.
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.

How much for two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser and Stella, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls? Costs?

Have spent time in Bkk and Phuket over last couple of years. Most prices consistent as displayed.
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.

Try living in Australia,the most rip off country for everything.I thought the uk was bad.This place is out of this world expensive!!

Brian sorry I realise now there's a poster called Ger.

Ger Your comments are racist against Brits and are complete rubbish!
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.

looseead you cannot get a meal for 100baht (2.2 pounds) in London lol

this comparison site is wrong. two litres of milk here(UK) £1 so cheaper than Thailand. two loafs of bread £1.60. iKg of tomatoes £1.Apples oranges pears £1. our cars are cheaper our big bikes are cheaper so the actual price of food here is cheaper it's council tax petrol Rents & bus prices that are dearer

@mostafa, I saw a liter of vodka the cheapest selling at 7/11 for usd 13 yesterday.

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.

Maybe some contributors are of good faith, and don't make it clear , that they buy tomatoes at 50 THB / kg. Yes that does exist. Local product, tasteless, nutrients empty, chemicals loaded, etc... GOOD tomatoes are double the price I quoted myself that is in the range of 300 THB / kg ( 10 USD $ ).

Imported beer may have been confused for beer "under licence" at 50 THB market and 150 THB at the bar. Real import, from Germany, Belgium, UK, Australia is 150 / 250 for a 33 cl bottle, yes...At the market. Available eventually a Brit. Pubs, certainly not all bars. ( a deluxe delicacy )

It resorts that Thailand is much more expensive that what you are showing. I suspect there maybe FAKE contributors ( from Thai Govt and/or Thai Tourism Authority ).

I spend 4000 $ a month for routine expenses. That does not include travel, hard purchase like computer, motorbike, car. Nor real estate for which foreigners , except working locally, cannot be financed. Does not even include tuition fees for kids...

Very expensive for poor service = bad value.

Of course it is certainly possible to live for less. But for much more too: a friend as expat for UBS bank in Bangkok, spends 12,000 $ per month... 5000 $ go for 85 sqm furnished ( posh ) rental condo ( 1 month ), already...

Really Mostafa you are thinking of going to the most fun place in the world and all you want to know is the price of vodka and whiskey. I suggest you go to Alcoholics Anonymous and sort yourself out. If you came here with drink as your priority you would be dead in 6 weeks. There is a lot of homeless men here, mostly English, sleeping rough all because of their alcoholism, but what would you expect anyway, the English are soaked in Alcohol. They should all be thrown out of Thailand, they are a disgrace.
