WOW, this was very clear and explained, thanks a lot, I've been trying to get there for the last year or so, but finally got my ticket to get there on September and will also live for a couple months!
This was the first of your videos that I watched, thanks for the detailed breakdown! There's a million "Thailand budget" videos out there, but not many that have gym costs/recommendations included. Thanks!
Thankful I came across this video. Me & my lady are thinking of living there for atleast a month or 2. We are planning everything. Great video brother🤙🏼
Appreciate you sharing these costs. I plan to travel full time in the next couple of years and I like to see what I should expect in locations I want to travel.
Thanks for this video, just got my subscription ! Me and my fiance want to come to Thailand for long term in some years and we are kinda similar to you but maybe more "stay at home" people than going out... But that could change in Thailand I guess. It's very interesting to see the costs of the gym and prep meal ! I hope you'll make more videos about your daily life, and it would be so nice to see the beauty shops and services you're using. As a girl I'm interested :D
It's great seeing this. Ive seen people say they can live for 1k a month and found that unbelievable. I would want my own place for a start. Ive been to Thailand years apart between trips. Last year i found it to be very expensive. We spent 4k in 19 days on trips/ taxi every day and great food with massages and beauty treatments, but we ate very well in lots of great restaurants etc this was for 4 people. Realistically, how much would it be for your own little 2 bed house with pool per month? Would love to go for 3 months.
My son is lived in Thailand for 15 years. He says he spends about $400 a month but he goes out to eat three times a day coffee snacks bottled water he eats like a Thai person would with an occasional going out to an American style food
We found our place on Booking.com - airbnb has a lot of expensive places. There are also much better short-term rentals you can find once you're on the island depending how long you're planning on staying
Budget did change which was to be expected, but even with an increase in tourism it’s not a huge change when you take in the gyms and eating out twice each day
@@tjandbtraveling So how much do you save cooking your own food. Watching a lot of channels about living in thailand (in the dreaming stage myself) and I thought that eating out is actually cheaper and kitchens in condos and houses are relatively small.
Really appreciate the video but for me, the accommodation budget is not realistic. I am not able to find anything decent below 1000-1500 USD per month currently. Been using Booking/AirBnB, which of course should be more expensive, but either way, the difference is quite big.
It is my understanding, but I am a noob at this, that eating out is cheaper than cooking your own food. Thats why all the kitchens in condos and houses in Thailand are usually quite small.
Yea it's a common misconception just because eating out is generally great value. But if you really do go to markets and buy fresh vegetables, noodles etc it will be cheaper. Of course then you have to factor in the time cost for cooking, the healthiness of the cheaper food and other such stuff
Is it hard for me to find food I eat raw vegan organic food like nurts berries vegetalbes and some fruits organic Thank You also do you think if you would take an Iland instead to live on would the cost of living be mutch higher ?
It's easy to spend much more! Most people who save money are those who stay there for a long time or extremely savvy... which is great, it's just not what we did on this occasion
Are the cafes/Co working spaces you use for digital nomad are you using wifi... I need a ethernet connection for work and wondering if this is accessible to plug my ethernet cord in to at these places. Or what options I have for an ethernet connection
@@tjandbtraveling most definitely 👍🏼, my last trip to Thailand was 2010, Jiujitsu was starting to grow back than, now it’s mainstream, loved your video
My husband took me there snorkeling, after we did some business at Chaing Mai night market. I loved it, and think about taking some time there again, to save money. Is it true ex-pats are taxed on their social security income since 2023?
82 for the bike is not a better deal, that is even above the standard price of 2500-3000 lol. You can buy one second hand for 20-25K it is earned back in no-time.
@@tjandbtraveling bike prices have nothing to do with seasons and if then making a “budget video” that is obviously something needed to mention, if wanting to add value and not only private dollars
Thanks for the comment, because Phuket is a bit of a destination for fighters membership can be expensive, but 140 per person is actually still cheap by western standards. Rolling monthly contracts in LA or NYC will be upwards of $300 per person for a quality gym
Hi great videos! I’m doing my first ever solo trip in Patong, I’ll be there there for 1 week, would 500-600 usd be enough for healthy mix of party and relaxation
Hi there! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our videos. Your upcoming trip to Patong sounds exciting! As for your budget, it's a bit subjective as it depends on your lifestyle and the type of activities you plan on doing. However, $500-$600 could be enough for a mix of relaxation and partying if you budget wisely. Bear in mind that while some things in Patong can be quite affordable, activities like partying and certain tourist attractions can add up quickly. I'd recommend planning your activities and budget ahead of time to ensure you can fully enjoy your trip without financial worries. Safe travels!
Yes but amenities no where near as good you’ll get more options better English the list goes on it’s more edgy to be in Vietnam but not cheaper when comparing like for like
10000THB for a room in a shared house with no pool and no gym on site is total BS my friend - you should be paying no more than 4000 PCM for that dump. For 15-20K you could could get a 1bdr self contained apartment with 50m pool and gym onsite.
Love seeing cost breakdowns like this! 😄 Thailand still offers so much value for such a rich experience! 🌅🌴
Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video! 😊
2,5 k is amazing for 2. The goal shouldnt be to just save money but also to enjoy your day-to-day life. Amazing video, thx for the transparency.

Amazing! Glad we could help and good thing we found each other. Best of luck with your plans and your travels - it's worth it!
I am planning to go to fitness street in 2024 as solo traveler, this video is really helpful
Excellent! Thanks for commenting, we're sure you'll love it

Best of luck! Stay tuned as this stuff is always updating
I'm 20 based in Ireland, planning on moving out there in the next 6 months. Binge watching all the vids, they are really great!
Thank you so much! Getting excited?
Thanks for sharing BJ. Very detailed and open video. Great learning. Very affordable there for sure.
Glad it was helpful!

Excellent, you'll love it... and Malaysia too if you go!
brilliant, heading to thailand in november. been trying to find a relevant video for cost on a monthly basis
Glad this helps! Hope you have a great time

Thanks for watching it! Let us know your thoughts in the comments 🥰
great info for me before moving out there for a year. planing to live on 1500 usd monthly for myself. u two giving me hope:)
Thanks for the comment, it's doable for sure. Longer term leases will be significantly cheaper
Sick video ! Any suggestions on where to look for rooms ? I’m about to be in pattaya , but might head to near fitness street and focus on training.
We found our place on Booking.com - airbnb has a lot of expensive places. There are also much better short-term rentals you can find once you're on the island depending how long you're planning on staying
Thanks for the insurance advice and link
Absolutely! Let us know if we can help with it, or if you use it - we thought it was great value!
A realistic budget, thanks...
I saw your original video some time ago. Budget has definitely changed.
Budget did change which was to be expected, but even with an increase in tourism it’s not a huge change when you take in the gyms and eating out twice each day

$600 USD per month just for workout stuff is definitely not the norm so overall pretty cheap for sure
Is it hard for me to find food I eat raw vegan organic food like nurts berries vegetalbes and some fruits organic Thank You also do you think if you would take an Iland instead to live on would the cost of living be mutch higher ?
No I think he just makes lots of videos about it and clearly loves it.
Im thinking of moving there will 1800 a month do it to live there like you guys im coming alone
I am curious which place you prefer, Bali or Thailand?
Great question, right now B says Thailand, TJ is still torn
Where you stay in Phuket
It’s fantastic! I spent £1500-£2000 when I went to Thailand 🇹🇭 so for 2 of you it’s a bargain
It's easy to spend much more! Most people who save money are those who stay there for a long time or extremely savvy... which is great, it's just not what we did on this occasion

I'm sure some will have ethernet cords for you
$82 per month for a scooter is an amazing price. They're charging $500 per month in costa rica.
Ouch! Costa Rica's prices have massively increased with the tourism there
How much is a new scooter?
@@michaelferguson651 we put all our prices in this video my friend
Sounds a lil expensive for the locals. Is this for the “Farangs”?
I mean, look at me - I am a "Farang" 😂
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it, hope it helped!
@@tjandbtraveling most definitely 👍🏼, my last trip to Thailand was 2010, Jiujitsu was starting to grow back than, now it’s mainstream, loved your video

It was the high season and for 2 months it was easier to do it this way

@@ReneMedia Hey friend, you don't need to be rude.
@@tjandbtraveling its rude to mislead people into informative videos that are obsolete if you ask me
Perfect for all that.
BJJ is more expensive than food. $280 sounds really steep. I don't think it costs that even in NYC or LA.

Do you do anything to your tattoos in regards to protection from the sun?☀️☀️
Just sunscreen, which we put everywhere, and then reapply

For me, I probably spend more on housing and foods then travel to other countries next door .
I understand, its not everybody likes to travel. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Poor masseur, having to release this boi😂
That’s a great life
I live for less than $1500 in Greece. But Thailand is tax hell right now.
Thats nice man, we need to get to Greece
Hey
How are you?
I was planning on going here but after seeing that budget I said Phuk-et

Phuket is the most expensive city in Thailand.
For a single person like myself, probably $2,000 usd a month is sufficient for years.
Amazing! Which country are you? that sounds crazily cheap in nowadays...
Way 2 expensive ! Stay Up ❤️
That sounds very reasonable for both of us! But really appreciate your comment 🥰
7:46 you wrote "Message" instead of "Massage"
Lets just keep that between you and me yea? 😉
@@tjandbtraveling Ok!

Vietnam even cheaper
