- I share what I think is a good mid tier budget for the city of Chiang Mai Thailand in 2024.

Very informative video! I appreciate the time you took to make this.
Great video, I was thinking around £2000 per month, to live really comfortably in retirement. Not having to worry about where I eat and also being able to travel throughout SE Asia. The way I figure it, I don’t want to spend half my life working to then have to live ultra frugally in retirement.
Thanks mate, yeah 2k a month would be a great amount :)
That is very reasonable, to many guys just eating thai food 2 times a day, staying in a shit condo and hardly ever going out and having fun. To many live on rice how much per month videos.This is very accurate well done.
Right, and he did start the video saying this was a mid tier budget.
Thanks mate :)
How much do you think the average farang use? I use around 1.9k USD a month, that's like the minimum i can get it to work with
My budget last month in the south of Thailand was $400. $70 for electricity to run the AC 20 hours a day, No rent, $12 for internet, 60 cents for my flip phone, $2 for water, $80 fuel for car. $10 for car insurance. That's $175 without food. I eat out a lot and buy some foods for relatives. If I didn't eat restaurant food, it would be easy for me to live on $300 a month. I live on a paved road in rural Mai Seab/ Koh Khan. 1 mile to 7-11 and the freeway. 5 miles to KFC or hospital. 20 miles to Phattalung. My house is paid for.
how much did cost your house?
awesome video thanks
Thanks mate :)
70,000 baht is a realistic budget for a retiree, nothing wrong with that. Personally as a relatively young person with a house and no rent to pay I could live with 20k but I cook a lot at home and don't go out much. But if you start adding rent, fancy food and nights out it can easily get to that 70k you mentioned.
👍 yeah it just depends on what people like to do :)
Realistic assessment there. I spent 6 months in Thailand earlier this year and my cost of living was around 60k per month after I got a 1 bedroom condo. Sometimes I would have a little splurge and then have a few cheap charlie and healthy days.
what kind of visa did you have if you dont mind me asking
Yeah, I thought it was a good budget! Thanks mate :)
Cool video. How much would you think it will cost you in your home country compared to Chiang Mia? Also what visa are you currently on I'm thinking when I move is to go on a tourist visa then Jump the border every three months is this your situation?
I think accommodation would be the big difference where I'm from, general expenses, for me anyway, are pretty similar if you want similar things :)
what a cool spot ! whats the location where you parked the BMW ?
It's a dam in a place called Doi Tao, it doesn't actually have a name :)
So he dose a video saying you “can” live on $700 a month and gets a bunch of neigh sayers myself included, but now he dose a realistic video of a decent budget and here comes everyone saying it is insane. It is like there is no pleasing people🤣🤣🤣
Well John I think you hit it, and it is a reasonable budget to live in CM. Like I said before Megan and I did a 3K monthly budget and it was high most months, but when it was not it was nice to not have to swipe a card or pull money out of savings.
Now only thing we did not have on your list was the Health Insurance, but my insurance here in the states only requires a receipt from the Thai hospital and they will reimburse me, but if I needed anything major I probably should get it.
Anyways, Thanks again for taking the time Jon.
Thanks Tony. Haha yeah 😀
If you go for the education visa, then I think you would have to also add the cost of the school as well (??)
The price I quoted included the school as well :)
Hi...As a British couple for your retirement visa, do you have to show 65,000 Baht a month income between you or each...Therefore needing 130,000 Baht?
I'm not 100% sure but I think it would be 65k each in this case
@@JonInChiangMai Thanks pal. My wife and I (Also Britsh) lived in Chang Mai with our kids for two years 2012-2014. We intend to visit again this summer as our kids are all grown up now, and I suppose we can do more fact finding then. I enjoy the videos. Cheers
I assume you're quoting US$, why, I don't know? You're obviously a Brit and there's a good number of Aussies who move there as well...
Because the bulk of my audience is from the US and the USD is the most known currency.
The thumbnail looks nothing like Chiang Mai
just drive a few kms out, it's rural chiang mai
Yea this is not Chiang Mai city
Ridiculous numbers. What's happened to you?
Sorry mate I thought this was a reasonable figure for a single person to have a good time :) you could do less I will do a budget version soon 👍
50£ a month for visa? That’s fcuked up dude
The visa includes everything you need to pay for a 1 year education visa including learning at a school for 1 year 😀
That’s ridiculous mate! I live for less than that in the UK! Now if your talking to an American which inevitably you are this being TH-cam and all they probally can’t get there head round how you could live so “cheap”! To think a couple would need close to 5k a month in Thailand blows my mind! Last time I was there we spent £4.5k for 6 weeks as a family of four. Flights included in this and staying at hotel accom vs LT condo.
A couple wouldn’t need double mate, this was a mid tier budget for a single person to have a good time eating nice food, this included going away 2 times a year I thought it was reasonable :)
Cheapskate
