By the way, if you're someone that plans on travelling to Thailand (or looking to move over here), this is the insurance that both Adam & I use for coverage. It's nice and easy to sign up and is affordable compared to many of the other options out there. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a solid option... bit.ly/41cDmsd

Living in Bangkok on $1750/month is on the high end. You can do it for half that amount and still be very comfortable.

Yeah, yesterday I ate Thai noodle for midday. That incredible less than 30 B(0.82 US Dollar) a bow and free of cold water. That I mean it was appeared in ISAAN of Thailand. This is a good sides of ISAAN. It s Cools!

I live in the very outskirts of Bangkok with my Thai wife and son. Soon the new BTS lines will make it easy to go downtown from where we live. We have little expenses (house owned) except for the tuition fees for the international school of my son. For those people with children remember that good education is very expensive in Thailand.

As a Thai, this cost is still high compared with local ppl. Thais' avg cost is around 20K-30K Bath. 60K Bth u can be a rich man if u stay countryside.

Aloha, I live also in the Asoke area. My living budget is about $4500.00 which includes a driver, maid, my girlfriend and going out twice a week to some of the best restaurants in Bangkok.... That standard of living would cost 10k per month in Honolulu. I have been to over 100 countries and Thailand is far the best place to live... The people, the food and the vibes are like Hawaii.

ขอบคุณที่รักประเทศไทย ยินดีตอนรับ ไทย🇹🇭🇹🇭

SawasD ka Chris, I sincerely appreciate this, my goal is to retire in Thailand with my wife using my retirement and social security at the tender age of 62. Best people I have ever met are Thai, I pray that the world will be safe and secure when it's my time. The food and fresh fruit I have ever had is there in Thailand. Kop kun ka Chris P.S. We already have a condo in central BKK, so this is a big plus.

Hi Chris, you helped convince me. About 10 years ago, I decided I wanted to retire in a foreign country. Maybe Mexico, Peru, Hong Kong or the Philippines but after following some of your videos, I chose Thailand. I arrived here in March of this year and I'm still in the process of getting settled but so for I'm very happy with my decision. Thanks for all of the information that you have provided for us.

Thank you for this video. I am moving to Thailand soon. When I am on my 3 week vacations YES I go out and party everynight. It will definitely be one night a week if I live there 👍 The costs will go down slightly over time because you learn where all the local bargains are for clothes food etc .

I remember Adam as he stays for Quarantine for the first Time visiting Uncle Chris. Now you can say.....Bangkok got him.

bought a one year sub of the Teenee,,,,, to help support all the great information of places in Thailand as I actually live here and appreciate.....

You guys both have the same Canadian accent, it’s kind of hilarious 🤣

yess!!! Looking forward to the Khao Yai series, I've lived and went to school there for 6 years and I miss it so much.

What a great channel you have. Iv'e been to Thailand twice and it always have a special place in my heart but the way you do your content and videos makes me fall in in liove with Thailand even more, Thank you

คนไทยยินดีต้อนรับนักท่องเท่ียวทุกสัญชาติ เชิญมาเท่ียวประเทศไทยเยอะๆ

these few years Bangkok is expanding a lot of mass rapid transit system network.Two new monorail lines (Yellow and Pink) are nearly complete and will start operating in few months.

Good project I am Thai and I decided to go back to live in my home town Kanchanaburi my budget is 1700€ / month so I think I gonna be rich women 😊now I live in Antwerp Belgium my pension all gone every month and the end of the year I must take money from the savings account to pay taxes around 3000€ it’s too much that is the reason why I will sale my apartment in Belgium and go back to live in Thailand next year

Love it!! I will be (semi) retiring very comfortably! Just got back from a 1 month visit and am already making plans to get back! Thanks for this content; it's as I always suspected, but this is nice reassurance. 👍🏼 Countdown is on! 😃👍🏼🙏🏼🇹🇭

Around 1700- 2000 USD is the proper expense to live well in Thailand and the tip is find the nice condo near bts or mrt line not in the central Bkk, you can get it just only 10,000 bath and still easy to access everywhere in Bkk

ผมทึ่งในความสามารถของคุณจริงๆ นี่มันมืออาชีพชัดๆ

As I get ready to rent my new place in South Pattaya, I've given myself a $1800/month budget. My rent is half his and my condo will be 45m2, so more money for other leisure activities. I had the same budget when living in BKK pre COVID, so he's bang on. Great video!

Hey great Video guys! You put a lot of effort into this one. Ya’ll living the good life abroad !!!

This is so helpfull. Chris you have inspired me to take a look at Thailand, I now plan to spend the first 3 month of my retirement in Koh Samui and from there work out next steps. I've just worked out that living in Koh Samui would be around £1664 and Vancouver £4176 per month, so seeing your figures almost line with mine fills me with confidence... Your videos look like will change the course of my life (and my wifes) in the near future... Great work and thank you...

Interesting incite into your living Adam. Thanks guys- enjoyed that

Great video guys! Good to see a realistic breakdown of costs, but I think you definitely lowballed TO living costs. FYI, having beers with Al and Bob next weekend if you want to join us :-)

Cool cost of living breakdown video, it's always interesting seeing how others live and getting ideas on how much their daily living costs are

This episode is great! Very informative! I really like the format!

In a suburb of Boston Ma,I pay $1400 a mo. for small 1 bedroom,500 feet from ocean,$200 mo. for high speed internet,$100 Mo. for electric,$100 for T-Mobile cell,I spend about $900 a Mo. for food,Looking forward to my Thailand move in August!

Awesome and quite informative (in an eye-opening way) episode. Adam sounds more and more like his wise mentor Uncle Chris everyday; he could do voiceovers for you. Great fam biz; an inspiration to all!

Thank you for the very informative videos. I'm sharing this with a friend.

I love and enjoy for watching vdo. I watched all of your vdo. I learnedand practiced my english. Your speech is easy and clear. Thank you so much for this review

Great to see Adams life now I remember when he first came to Thailand and look at him now. Really made a life for himself which is great to see. Amazing cost for that apartment even if it is a bit small. The service charge alone in my city centre is the cost of his rent. Everything seems great to live in Bangkok apart from medical costs which you'd need cover from your home country

Well, to make it short, here is an article out of yesterday’s newspaper regarding just the rent in the Vancouver area: “In Vancouver last month, rent for an average one-bedroom apartment clocked in at $2,418, up almost 20 per cent year over year. “ If you add food to that list, considering that prices have risen drastically over the last few month, you can imagine that life in Canada is very different here. Most people can’t afford to pay much attention to the fun parts of life anymore, but are rather forced to think on how to pay next month rent. For many it is one or the other. Either you pay for rent or you pay for food. Sad but true.

Im living in Pattaya Thailand. Plush 35 sq meter condo on 6-mo lease w/lagoon pool & full gym, fully furnished w/sheets & dishes, TV and 3 blocks from beach. Food + some frequent alcohol & greens! All for $1200.usd per month. My retirement income is 1730.usd/mo Balance goes to savings, future travel, visa & medical as needed😎

Wow! Really put things in perspective. Thank you very much.

Iam retired from massachusetts state police with 26 yrs in.i could live like a king on my 3800$ a month...what the hell iam I doing in tax a chusetts...

For me this is one of the most useful and entertaining cost of living in Thailand videos I have watched. I will be living in Buriram and paying a mortgage on a 3 bed house, approx £300 /.month. Running a fortuner car will be about £100 / month but other costs will be far cheaper than Bangkok. 21 degree C is my setting but then I am from tropical London. I will be using Teenee when I am in Thailand. Cheers

good videos guys, I will be comparing living cost from Cambodia compared to Oxford England when we move in Jan, CANT WAIT!!!!!

After the high-speed train is completed, traveling will be more convenient.

Great episode guys! Have you done ( or WILL you) do an episode on what Visas you have and/or HOW to do a visa run? Adam says he's been in Bangkok 1 1/2 years; is that 8 Visa runs, or....? Thanks! 🤙

Good info, I’ve been on Samui for just under a week and still trying to normalize spending. Having this breakdown helps putting things into perspective.

Great video and loads of good info thanks both of you

as Im Thai, just wanted to say very very welcoming all yr guys .

Furnished studios in downtown Vancouver are going for $2500 CAD and the rents get jacked up to $3000 / month over summer (on short term leases), it’s good to know I can live well in Thailand on just my rent budget. Flying there in January to check things out!

Wonderful to see Adam making his own way through Bangkok. Best time in life to discover yourself with like-minded peers in a thriving affordable city with lots of amenities, great local people, and fresh food! Uncle/nephew relationship is real!

What a great video. I lived in Bangkok for over ten years and Toronto for nearly as many. You guys give a very down-to-earth and accurate breakdown of daily life and expenses.

Just discovered you. Real interesting content, Subscribed and looking forward to catching up on your videos.👍🏼

Fellow canadian here, I really appreciate the fantastic breakdown and talking points! I'm having a hard time understanding how the step by step goes for staying down there longer than 60 days while having a remote job, or online business. Wondering if you have suggestions! I have bookmarked your app and will definitely check it out when the time is right.

Just retired at 41 with a budget of $3900 per month. This video helped me by showing I can live comfortably in Bangkok on my budget. - WW

Chris, great video, very nice to see a breakdown of the cost of living in Thailand.

Thanks 🙏 so much! This video was very helpful! Can’t wait to go to Thailand and eventually move there!!! ✌️ So excited 🎉

Being a numbers kind of person, I appreciate the line item breakdown!

Very interesting video! Thanks for putting it together. I haven’t spent much time in Thailand recently so I was a bit surprised at the costs. I was expecting less I guess. I live in countryside Japan and pay less than him to live a very full life. His food expenses were a bit high….eating at home occasionally could save some money.

awesome guy! funny!!!!!! always great AND informative vid's! love u mate! many regards from andy from belgium

Great video and content. This video will be useful for people who interest to live in Thailand in future.

Love this video!! Bangkok is one of my favourite cities!! Been there twice - would have been more if it wasn’t for the pandemic. I live in Vancouver and quite frankly I would be living in the gutter if my monthly budget is $1752!! Seriously, that is not even enough for rent! 😂.

Rent alone in NJ is over 2k in a decent area…. Cost of living is well over 4K . Man I’d kill for the ability to work remote so that I can move to Thailand . I’d be really wealthy over there

A lot of the costs mentioned are at least 2 times higher than the real ones for this level of living: cell plan, internet, electricity, rent, some other stuff.

Really nice video put together so well.

Adam & Chris, great episode! You’ve inspired me to prepare my own monthly expenses and will share it here once I’m done.

Great information

hey crazy. when i was making the decision to move to BKK, your videos were a source of information for me. checking in on the channel again, that 7-11 that you're in is the one i always go to by my condo. cheers man, great content.

He now live luxury. I am thai people and i have earn only 850$ per month (half of him). However I still can live comfortable by rent a smaller room near Ratchathewi. Sadly In thai the basic sarary is 500$ per month and many people get worse than that.

The Thai daily life (and in other Asian countries in the region) based on eating outside as a regular norm and in very reasonable and fair prices. It is tasty and accessible. In many of the countries around the world eating outside is expensive, a privilege and the world inflation just make a regular meal a very expensive experience

Just putting this out there for our friends in Thailand, Adam's food expense is quite high even comparing to those of us currently in Canada lol. Family of 3 here in Downtown Toronto, we spend only $500 a month on food in total, given you cook it yourself, and that's with a wide variety of seafood/meat/vegetable. However rental is actually quite a bit higher than what Adam posted, it's about $1700 for a 30sqm studio apartment downtown.

This is very useful since I've been working and living here for 6 years I have never budgeted my money

Great Video! Very insightful :)

Actually, it would be much more expensive to live in Toronto. The apartment rent alone would be like $2200 alone. I know, as I live in that darn city.....and spend that amount....and it is on the deep outskirts. In downtown Toronto, the rent would be $2000 plus for a condo room..... shared with one or two other renters!

Why does Adam sound/talk EXACTLY LIKE YOU???? He honestly talks EXACTLY like you man!! He could do a voice over on your videos and I wouldn't know the difference!

Really good to see this , thanks

You interview well. Your subject was articulate person. It was a very credible Q and A with comprehensible presentation of information. Thanks.

Great content! The budget of 1750 dollar per month you are living very very well in BKK thats high end in my opinion. I lived in BKK for 5-6 years and I would say I lived well and had a good time for approximately 800-1100 Dollars per month. That includes stuff you mentioned in the video. Accomodation fee 12k baht per month for a studio at Ekkamai area Utility fees around 2.5-3.5k per month depends on the price of the electricity (includes phone, internet and tv) Food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) fee around 6-9k baht per month. basically around 200-300 bath per day, although I didnt spend that amount everyday. but I was eating well with that budget. Night out fees, this really depends on where you go and how many days, but when I went out, i averaged around 1k to 2k baht per night. I would assume 6 night out per month that would cost around 8k, keep in mind, I went to local night clubs that was hot at the time. but if I would have gone for a beer or a bar, the fees would definitely decrease significantly. Travel around in bts,. At the time i spent around 1k per month but it really depends how often you use BTS skytrain. Travel with taxi, depending on the months, but i would say i average 1-2k per month. I didnt really shop much, but when Id spend around 1-2k per 2-4 month or so. I would spent 34.5k Baht per month on an active month and probably spend around 28k on a less active month. This was my experience in Thailand for 5-6 years, of course the prices might have changed over the years due to inflations and stuff. If your budget is around my budget, you will do fine.

Really envy, Adam. He's young and already got it all worked out. Way to go, live it up mate.

Great insight 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome video, very informative.

Hi Adam, your landlord is going to feel very happy knowing you keep the room tidy and clean (as seen in the video ). 👍🏼 tenant 😀

As a Canadian Expat originally from Toronto, I’ve lived in Phuket since 1997, when not commuting to/from work in Abu Dhabi. I’ve been retired from the cockpit since 2020 due to C19. (I am/was a pilot and remain un-Vax’d) I very rarely ever eat out at restaurants and choose to cook at home. The ‘ol Charcoal Weber BBQ gets used 2-3 times per week. Shopping at MAKRO or BigC, I can get 1 1/2” Pork Chops for about 90B each. With a Baked Potato and some Veggies on the side…. A good BBQ’d dinner is around 200B. I also have the Weber Wok for my BBQ for Asian/Thai cooks. Other nights I’ll BBQ a Pizza using some apple wood chips. A large 750ml beer from MAKRO/BigC for when I’m grilling is 52B ea. Fuel for the car is now getting expensive. Last week 95 octane was 55B / liter, so the once leisurely drives around the island with my dog are now much fewer. Electrical Bills from PEA (Provincial Electrical Authority) have been averaging 2,400/Mo, however I’m now in the process of installing a Solar Grid-Tie Inverter (GTI) system (No Batteries) Expected Return On Investment is Approx 30-36 months averaging a -33% monthly reduction in electrical bills. I “own” my home here in Phuket (300sqm) with my name in the Yellow Book Tambian Baan and have Thai I.D. (Pink Card) both of which are great “supporting” documents when it comes to dealing with Thai Immigration and other officials. My Visa is a 10yr O-X, issued in Oct 2019 by the Thai Embassy in Abu Dhabi. Food for my Golden Retriever is the same as feeding another person in the house. She likes her BBQ’d Fish Stir Fry….. and often eats better than I do. Overall….. for a Canadian Expat retired to this rock, I’ve been averaging around 7,000B per week for essentials. I keep a written record of daily expenses on a desk calendar. Health Insurance (Not included in my monthly expenses above) is the CIGNA “Close Care Policy” that covers you in the country that issued your Passport, along with one (1) other country where you spend most of your time and are considered domiciled. CIGNA have an international office in Dubai. I do not recommend anyone in their 60’s taking out a policy signed here inside T’land as most all policies will only cover you up to a maximum age of 70yrs. Always, always read the small print. Before arriving in Phuket back in ‘97, I travelled throughout the Caribbean looking for an island home. Haven’t been back to the Caribbean since…. There are worse places to be…. Especially come January and February each year…..

Thank you for your valuable vlogs to promote Thailand krub.

Hey Chris I always love your videos. I’m coming to live in Thailand very soon. I’m going to go ahead and buy the app. I’ve been waiting until my next trip which is quickly approaching. I love those Canadian accents you guys have and now I’m speaking enough Thai to hear your accent when you guys speak in Thai also. Fun and interesting. It makes me wonder if Thai people hear my Texas accent when I speak. When I went to England people would circle around to listen to me and comment about my accent. They asked if I owned horses, cattle and oil wells. They thought all Texans do. Begrudgingly I had to say “yes” but Texas is not really like that. Nobody has that stuff… but me. Enough oil and gas royalties to get a free lunch twice a year. I was babysitting a horse because I had just enough land and it was fenced and I had a couple of calves I was raising for a side hustle. Not a wealthy Texan but just enough to qualify as what they thought the “typical Texan “ was.

Note that he is living a pretty quiet life. This was a nice budget review. I liked the video clips illustrating where he goes to eat and his living situation. 35 sq meters is indeed small so make sure you are living alone. At that building and location though he has a nice pool and I suspect a decent gym.

Check out around Ladpro area near Central Department Store, Ladprao, there are both MRT and BTS.

awesome. great . Now I know what I need to live and workin away from my home and live where I loved in. Thanks

Very interesting episode. Great detailed information as usual. Adam seems like a good person. I do subscribe to teenie. I like the comparison of Toronto's cost of living I have family there however, it has become very expensive. Is the Bangkok Timmy's the same price as the Canadian Timmy's ; ) Good work Chris and Adam.

อินเทอร์เน็ต เมืองไทยบ้านผม เร็วที่สุดในโลก บอกเลย

Really interesting video you guys. I spend 6 months Nov -April and my average monthly budget was 40K Baht = $1500🇨🇦 or $1100 🇺🇲 . This included everything mentioned in this video adding gym membership and food for 2 ☺️ Here in Vancouver for that $ you can barely rent an apartment 😂 Definitely going back this winter. By the way Adam our condo is 21 minutes BTS ride from our door step to Asoke and we are paying 10K for the same size condo as you have with amazing amenities. Cheers to you fellow Canadians 🇨🇦

Love seeing my canadian folks travel and do well I will be in Thailand in Dec can't wait

Another informative video. Budgets tend to be personal and many can make it on less and others will spend more. Also can you link to his Thailand Weekly newsletter.

I love the way you filmed this. Very inspiring project you've created. Thank you for putting your time and effort in doing so.

Thanks from France. that was instructive

Great show 👏 Chris love ❤️ from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 😊

Remember- If you are coming from western countries or developed Asia, ordering one 60 baht meal won't cut it unless you are going on a diet.

When I first arrived in BKK in 2017 I was paying $140/mo for a studio apartment 15 minutes walking to Victory Monument BTS. Tons of great places in that range if you know where to look.

Thank you for video

Thank you for another great video!! Can you do a video on eye care there? For example costs of eye exam, glasses, contacts and surgery.

This is excellent well done 👍

OMG! This is the most fantastic content about living in Thailand as a foreigner. Adam, actually your cost of living is just a little bit higher for the Thai people similar to your age. The big difference is that the rental cost is replaced with the money paid for buying a house.

Fantastic video. Thanks .
