    Asian American New Yorker here.. I totally get why you left NYC. Everything is super competitive here and you don't get a lot for the extremely high rate of consumption. Having a good social life here is so unhealthy too; BKK seems so much healthier both physically and financially. I visited Thailand for two weeks pre-COVID. I miss it so much! I'm still far from being able to move out of the states though =[

    Great video. You are living a very lavish lifestyle in Bankgok for less than $100 usd a day. My Isaan village life I spend about $15 a day.

    • @iPaulLee
      @iPaulLee  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yep, if I was living in chiang mai or similar, I’d probably only spend around $20/day.

      @stegura83 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I live for around 20 to 25 USD per day in the USA. Key is too avoid drinking in bars and eating in restaurants. Same applies in Thailand. Can live for very cheap if you avoid staying in hotels, drinking in bars, partying, eating out in western/foreign restaurants, and paying for taxis.

      $100 a day is still pretty pricey for Thailand. When a Thai local lives on 10-15,000 baht per month. You have to keep it in the right perspective.
      I live in Hua Hin, you have to shop at street markets where the locals shop. Most of the time, I’m the only farang there…lololol. But, I spend around 1100 baht for food for the whole week. Not 500 baht for one meal shopping in a grocery store inside a mall in Bangkok…lololol.
      I did ask my Thai gf about this video because paul Lee has a Thai gf, why isn’t she showing him where to shop…lolol.
      My Thai gf did say that where paul is living in Bangkok, it’s all farang and tourist, and there’s no street markets to by groceries…

    Certainly appreciate the info. A better analysis would be showing a monthly cost as you noted, this was a entertainment weekend so it skews the daily expenses. With the monthly, we would be able to extrapolate the average daily, which is much better idea of cost to live in Thailand. Thanks!

    Dude, how/where are you getting these 15-minute motorbike rides for 60 THB? If this is true, I have been getting robbed since I have never paid less than 80 THB to go anywhere, even relatively short distance. But they are pretty consistent on their fares, i.e. each leg costs the same even with different drivers.

    Hello Paul, I am Jason, Chinese Canadian have been living in Canada for 23 years. I have followed your videos for a while and enjoyed your interviews with Joyce and Forrest. I had purchased some rental properties at Macon where you grew up and really understand why you moved to New York and then Bangkok. I am planning a trip to Thailand with my son during his college break time next month who is 20 years old, but I am so concerned if he will have enough activities or social events to keep him busy and see more people. I don’t have any idea what to do with him except dining and shopping. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

      There are a lot of excursions you can take. Visit Erawan National Park (only a 3 hour bus ride from Bangkok). Visit Koh Larn (closest island with beaches), visit one of the floating markets, visit Ayuthaya, visit Hua Hin and Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. There are tons more of things to do/see.

    • @iPaulLee
      @iPaulLee  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What a coincidence you bought properties in Macon! Yeah, nothing much there in my opinion.
      If it’s yall’s first time, I recommend doing all the touristy things like temples, malls, sightseeing etc.
      But for social, maybe consider language exchange, meetups, foreigner - centric bars, etc. particularly in neighborhoods like Soi 11, and Asoke.
