As a single guy without any kids or animals, this is right on par with my projected costs so thank you for the confirmation and breakdown of all your costs.

[emilylotts]

You're so articulate, considerate, attention to detail, that's a good skill not everyone can do it

[ThailandTom]

Great to have these "budget vlogs" once a year! Always interesting to compare our own expenses with others in the same kind of situation 😊

[simonsmith]

Sorry, to clarify; dentists.
Regarding my last note in back to the future post.
What I mean to clarify, is that a lot of dental practises take on both NHS as well as private clients....
"Hello, can I arrange to see the dentist?"
'yes, of course....errm, three months next Wednesday o.k?'
"And as a private patient?"
'well sir, tomorrow afternoon?'

I left Phuket for Siem Reap. I spend at least 30% less living here in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a pool. I do drink beer and it's 21.84 baht for a 330 ml beer from the store. In Thailand a San Mig Light is 41 baht for a 330 ml can or bottle. It's also half the price at a restaurant or bar. In general this place is a lot less expensive...but not for electronics and many other things that are imported from Thailand. The cost of aircon is more expensive because Cambodia buys it's electricity from Laos, Vietnam and I think even Thailand. So my electric bill is about 40% more than Thailand. I only use the aircon in my bedroom when I workout and I turn it on for an hour before going to sleep. I use two fans in my bedroom mostly. Last months electric bill was $55. I expect it to be more for March, it's been hot as hell here. But my friends in Phuket say it has been hot as hell there to this year. Happy Easter, Happy Life. All the best! A quick edit: the ease of getting a one year ER multiple entry visa is easy to get. I pay an agent $290, they fill out all the paper work and send it to Phnom Penh and the passport is back to me in 7 days. Within the last 12 months 3 of my Phuket mates have moved to Kampot, Cambodia. Thailand has lost it's luster for me with the retirement visa and 90 day check in's.

It's still cheap. Compared to the West. Maybe not compared to Thailand 3 years ago if that is the point of reference. But I am spending less than half of what I spent in The States. 

No auto/insurance & some other things that I have eliminated by choice. I owned my vehicle & didn't have payments on it. I simply don't *need* an auto here. On auto insurance ALONE, I spent 3x what I spend here for a full month of Bolt rides. $40 Ubers in the US are less than $4usd here. *My rent is ⅓ what I was paying* in a 'less expensive'/outskirts portion of Las Vegas. It is smaller, but it is also 30 years newer and fully furnished compared to unfurnished back there.

My food is 30+% less. Alcohol is cheaper. The food cart/restaurants/smoothies etc provide options here at ⅓ the price I would pay for similar products anywhere in The States. And they taste better.So yeah, it is inexpensive compared to that with no loss in quality - and in most cases, improved quality.  

Like living anywhere in the world, your own costs depends on you being able to *recognize the difference between WANTS and NEEDS.*

$300 a month. I live in south Thailand. My home is paid for. My monthly bills (flip-phone 70 cents, internet $12, garbage $2, water $2, electricity $70, gas $60, and car insurance $8) come to $154. I run the AC 20 hours a day. Food is $146 because I eat out a lot. An apartment here in Phattalume is $100. I don't waste money on drinks and women. Easy to live on $400 a month in an apartment here.

[coqueende]

Thanks bud, this video is solid gold. Were looking to relocate with young kids & budgeting is everything.

[leevikiviranta]

Hi Ryan! I have been living in Hua Hin every winter 3-4 months, around 30000thb/month. including everything (motorbike, nice apartment, eating out, some beers...e.t.c.) i think Thailand is still very affordable compare almost to every country in world

[grooveyguru]

Thanks for the breakdown. I enjoy your channel. Your expenses are very reasonable. I am single, retired, don't drink or go to bars, no insurance. I rent a nice condo in bangkok for 16500 baht per month. I don't live an extravagant lifestyle and like to eat thai food all the time. I try to keep my spending to less than 1000 baht (excluding rent) per day, which is doable, but not easily. I can manage on 40, 000 to 50, 000 baht per month, but have to watch what I spend. If I moved to a province, (which I will when my lease finishes), I think I can manage on under 30, 000 baht per month.
It is not as cheap as people think.

[flubidy]

Good on you for sharing these very personal spending details. Very helpful for people to manage expectations.

[sgraham]

I am currently visiting the USA. Mind bending expensive after Thailand. You really can’t walk out the door without spending $100 USD. Most Grocery stores are corporately owned. Price gouging since Covid-19 is rampant especially for groceries. Rent near decent paying jobs ~ $1450/USD month. Health care is incredibly expensive. Routine Teeth cleaning at a Dentist in USA is -$150 and it’s done by a hygienist not a dentist. X-Rays are extra.

[mikaelandpond]

We are at 15000 B for 2 houses and two people + private School / mounth on the Countryside close to Buriram ;) No car, one motorbike. no restaurant food, only street food :)

[lillianrosbottom]

We have come to Thailand for last 14 yrs at Christmas. In that time prices have rocketed

[villagefarang]

I don't know and don't want to know. I have delegated the daily and monthly expenses to my wife. I do the online payments, like phones, internet and credit cards but let her keep the records in a ledger. I keep track of the big picture and as long as our total net worth doesn't take a hit I am happy to not sweat the small stuff. House, land, cars, computers, phones, TVs, refrigerators, A/Cs, HEPA filters, furniture, washer and drier, travel and projects or hobbies all get discussed at length. No two months or years are the same. I have to admit I was a little surprised by your total amount.

[kennethmcgurn]

Just FYI: I rented a gated, nicely furnished 4-bdrm house outside Chiang Mai for 5, 000 baht a mo. Had a great covered balcony, a fish pond, patio furniture.

[pabloeyelid]

Beautiful family, Ryan and Mo. Really appreciate your sharing it with the world. ❤

[goats]

Thank you mate! My wife lives there, I’m still work in the Middle East. She lives north of Khon Kaen and we have a local place to get our eggs plus the Saturday market. My wife has her own home there and I have my home in the US. Not sure what we’ll do in the future. Great video, thank you.

[craigberesford]

I think Thailand is still relatively cheap. It’s our exchange rate which has made the difference. I remember the days getting 75 Thai baht to the pound of course now it’s 45 if you’re lucky this has made a huge difference to westerns
