- Whats considered rich in Thailand? How do the wealthy live? Well let's ask local Thais what they think, and see if we truly believe that all foreigners are loaded - and exactly what that means! How much do we think you walk around with in your pockets, and where do we think you got it from? How much would you have to make each month in order to make a Thai girl feel like she's living a 5-star life? It might be that whats considered rich in Thailand is considered middle-class, or even lower, where you come from!

is this guy really wearing a tie with a golf shirt?
Did you miss the shorts. Maybe he’s a mate in school
The pinnacle of couture, it will catch on, trust me

A clip no less.
I have never in all my life seen seen anything like this lolol
I've recently gone to Thailand and my wife is from there too. For you all to know $1 USD = 37 Baht. So for USD conversion, $75,000 baht divided by 37 is $2027 USD a month and $40,000 baht equals $1081 USD a month. I can attest that the USD goes a long way, and 40,000 baht a month is a really good salary in Bangkok. If you make 40k USD a year in the USA you could live like a king in Thailand. A typical meal here in the US is around $50 to $100, in Thailand that same meal is about $4-6 USD for comparison.
Thanks for that info had no idea the exchange rate
@@Kenny-bj2zq easily found by looking up baht vs usd
40k baht is definitely not a nice rich life .
That is surviving
The meal price comparison is maybe a little off
baht is 35 as of 12/2023. It is more often closer to 34-35 range.
Hi I’m Frey. Nice to be a part of this content. Anyway, The more money you earn, the better life you will have. Hope everyone enjoys Thailand. :)
Thank you Frey you are an amazing young lady! ❤️🙏
you were beautiful Frey and seem confident and very well spoken! You were the best interview of the group I think. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.
In my opinion you are giving a realistic figure. There is no limit one can spend. However, based on my limited experience of being in Thailand, I think in 60-75K per month, one can lead a decent lifestyle.
@@gauravdobhal1150 ya 60k baht I was going out everyday
Hello Good interview how are you?
Great interviews! Thank you
Very nice interview thank you So much
Good vlog!!
Thailand people are very warm and friendly, please do not poison their mind.
Right
I must have missed the part of video where he poison their mind. I didn't hear it. Maybe I was distracted by the beautiful women he was interviewing.
Yeah, not all of them.
Very informative 🌹💚 thank you Jeofrey
Glad you enjoyed it
Good interview. Very informative for people interested in possibly moving there and a good question to get different range of opinions from local Thai people
My first video with you and it was great!! Keep up the good content!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welcome aboard!
Great interviews Bro.
Appreciate that
Nice video. Did you know you can get custom suites for under $150?
This was quite interesting, good video
good info bro
Great upload bro
Yes yes fun fun
Haha! I’m already looking at making the move…this video REALLY pushed me in that direction😂
This video really helps. Thanks.
Thanks For The Great Info .................
I really enjoyed that thanks
Great 👍🏼 video content bro 😎 as always thanks 🙏🏽 appreciate you always
Great thumbnail!
Great video. Thanks. The wife and I have been running numbers for Spain, Italy, Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines and a few other countries, and you can live comfortably for $2K USD per month if you don't live in a luxury condo. In the US or UK, that will barely pay your rent, mortgage or property tax in a good neighborhood.
Confirmed
In Italy with 2000 € , you live well 😊
He should have broken down money difference from what ladies recommended at the end.
Like a overview on the recommendations 🤨
But, it was good information on possible cost of living differences.
Enjoyed 👍
$100,000.00 baht a month is only $2780.10 U.S. amazing the difference. I would easily be a billionaire in Thailand but When I am there I just act like regular guy. Don't need the gold diggers asking for money.
My Daughter, who I welcomed into this life almost 20 years ago, is a 2nd year student at Chiang Mai University........was a bit scared that you were going to interview her...lol
Why would that scare you?
@@ekimandersom4478 Maybe he doesn't want his daughter made to look silly?
@@Somchai007 Yes saving face is VERY important, She would never want to look silly in public! That would scare her to death!
Where is she and how much does she charge
@@tonypepe A girl has to do what she can to pay for college. These days it's starting a "OF" (Only Fans) account to pay for college. All the kids do these days is use the internet. I think things were much better when I was a college student 40 years ago as we would meet in-person. I'm telling you it won't be to long before some high tech AI will provide that girl friend experience.
Just subscribed. I was adopted from Thailand and have lived in the US. Returning back for the first time soon
Wow - message me when you arrive. I’d love to have you on the channel!
Do you speak Thai? Are you returning for vacation or business?
Nice content, keep it up guys ! 😍😀😍
Very informative!
That’s some good info mate…good to hear real people talking about real stuff…they know the realities of the situation.
I'm currently in Thailand for the first time and I must say that I was not ready for the money exchange lol. My US dollars go really far here. I'm definitely coming back and I think I'll stay at least a month or two.
Did you have to get a roundtrip ticket? Do they check for that?
@beaulong I got a round trip ticket because I planned to go home. Who are you referring to? You mean did he airline employees check for the ticket? I'm not sure.
Great video
nice one G, keep chatting them up, how many in bunk now? you scratching yet?
Ok, I lived in BKK for some time then I realized that I could live in the North Chiang Rai for a fraction of the cost. I went from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house and it saved me enough money that I can Fly to BKK and back every weekend and still have a few Baht for a few meals. It's only a HR and 10 minute flight and sometimes from Suk 22 to the airport was a longer drive then the flight. Here you need 40k to do as you please in BKK then you need 100k a month and going further down to the Islands it's more than that. I enjoy the simple life and traveling and living in CR I can do more on a lot less. Live where you feel comfortable and Happiness is the Key.
@@johndoe3960 Hey, Everyone is different and I happen to enjoy living here because I wanted to get away from Westerners. I made enough by 45 dealing with people that I enjoy the laid back atmosphere. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time here and I have to say that I enjoyed the pre COVID BS times and went out more but if you live here there's a lot to do. It's definitely a slower pace of life and I find the people to be very friendly unless they don't understand or speak English and would rather ignore you then losing face because they can't talk with you. Also I found that Northern Thai is different than BKK Thai and if you don't speak Thai then that could be your problem to. I choose to live here so I can spend more money on travel and I enjoy seeing New places and I live on a fixed income because I still have another 13 to 15 years and never want to worry about money again but still be able to do as much as I can with the time I have left. Again, Sorry about your experience.
Very good content bro! Looking forward for Thailand.
Thanks! Enjoy thailand bro
@@GeofreyPetersonofficial gonna start to marathon your videos bro! I will be retired in 9 years than I plan to move Thailand, I´m from Brazil. Is it hard to get permanent residence in there?
Good Video.. thx
My American husband made 100,000 +++ a month, we live comfy here in Isaan area. We do not have to work. Some of our friends here make 40,000 - 50,000 baht per month , they seem to live comfy here, too.
ya and everyone in Isaan is rich if you ask them. @@timdunn2257
Very educational.. thank you for this video…
Hope you learnedly something new! Thanks for watching
I think you need more then 40-50k thb here in BKK, but as Geofrey mentioned you can find cheaper (rent) or more expensive. I actually thought Phuket was less, then again I suppose it depends what you're doing and where you're staying. 100k a bit better.
They are all very cute. Well spoken. Thailand is very impressive.
Great video. Do it again
Nice video. I like the way you interview and interact.
Thanks for the compliment
Even for a foreigner, 100,000 baht is more than enough to live comfortably in any part of thailand. Of course, your not by any means wealthy. If your eating out with a guest every day, that can be up to 50,000 per month, easily. A small place in a nice apartment is about 15,000. Then there is entertainment, transportation (round trip flights in and around thailand range 2k to 6k), house keeper(aka your girl friend, about 15,000), emergency fund, and etc. If you have a retirement nest egg of about 1.5 milliion USD and you keep it in the S&P 500. You can be conservative and withdraw about 3% or about 3,750 USD (130,000baht) per month. If you're frugal like me, you can do it with a quarter of the that.
The question is what’s considered rich
@@GeofreyPetersonofficialNot having to work and still do everything you want is rich.
My net (after taxes) monthly salary in USD comes to 185K THB a month before bonuses but when I vacation with my wife and child in Thailand I tend to be as frugal as possible lol… I’m always looking for bargains!
The only time I will splurge is when we eat out or when we travel by plane.
Living costs in US are getting insane if you live in big city you better make like $70 an hour lol in small town like 45 min away from city I did ok on $35 an hour.
Cheap charly 🤦🏼
The only time your splurging is when your wife and kid go to bed let’s be honest
rich is 100K p/m in the provinces or 200k p/m on islands or in Bangkok
Dope tie 🔥💪
Thanks Bro, you make me feel realy rich. Greets from KKC. 🤙🏻
Happy to help
It always depends on your style of living and vacation is not normal living. My last trip to Thailand was an experiment for me to see what it would be like to live there. I love Thai food, so that aspect was ridiculously inexpensive. I also dont drink or party, which for some is a huge expense. My biggest expense was accomodations but i stayed at a beautiful resort that was about $35 per night. For 1 month i spent about $2500 and i was busy doing things daily.
Yep $2500 you can do anything everyday easy
I was there for a week last month and spent $1500
@johnnybravo9990 Its all about lifestyle. I spent $5000 my first time in Thailand/pattaya for a 3 week holiday. That was about 20 years ago, 2 bar girls a day, viagra on tap, alcohol, western food, excursions. Had an awesome time and look back at what a different person I was back then. Now, I prefer a nice thai meal, a walk and bedtime by 9pm 😁
@@keithd1219 you mentioned you were busy doing things, I don't like to drink or party as well. I was mainly barfining girls from agogo. What made you busy
@johnnybravo9990 It depends where you're at but since I'm guessing you were in pattaya, I would go to koh larn for the day and rent a scooter on the island, I'd walk on the beach boardwalk fron one end to the other in the evening and check out the freelancers in the process, I'd go to central festival or terminal 21 and eat a nice thai lunch in their food court, I'd do an excursion to nong nooch gardens, the tiger zoo, ride a scooter over to the sanctuary of truth, gocarting, atv'ing, walk in various areas around pattaya away from the usual heavily tourist areas like pratumnak Hill, the east side, naklua. Those are some things off the top of my head.
This is the most accurate observation you will ever get... The mans literally asking locals
Great content. It just astonishes me you can be there and not know a word of Thai.
👍👍👍👍
Average monthly salary for CEO position in large corporations in Thailand is 1.5 million Bahts a month, not including other fringe benefits. It may answer your question. If 1 USD = 35 Bahts, it is approximately 42,857 USD a month.
I don’t understand the average US Social Security is about US$1500 what is that worth in bats? What’s the average cost of living like he was saying in the video I tried to do the conversion rate, but not really understanding it because I don’t know what the average cost of living is. I know in the Philippines roughly 1000 pesos is $20 give or take and you can do a lot on that but in Thailand I don’t know the difference trying to educate myself but it’s confusing. Thanks.
How large is a large corporation there? Do you mean like the equivalent head of Walmart or something?
@@papabear007 1USD is around 36 bath at the time of my typing so 1500USD is around 54600 Bath which will definitely cover all your monthly expenses no matter where you live in Thailand. That is why more and more people from the west retired here in Thailand. Covering all expenses and living a luxurious live are different though. the value of 1500USD will depend heavily on where you live but for basic necessity, it is more than enough. As for 1.5 million Bath per month, this is definitely the top 1% elites upper class salary, not even Thai prime minister get that much.
I actually make more than what a CEO makes in Thailand. LOL. I do not consider myself rich, however. I think I am average in the USA.
@@jamesl9539$500,000 a year in the USA is extremely high. I don't know how you consider that average?
Edit: did you think he said 42,000 a year? He said monthly 🤣
Very simple documentation.
Glad you think so!
GP. Very smart hanging out around the University. Clean young girls.
As I wrote some days before the girl with red hair is very intelligent ....Her name is Fei ... I like her very much. Nice Video!👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Do you have her IG? She gave a lot of good info about the hi-so life in Bangkok
Little suggestion for new people(like myself) who are new to the channel. Maybe while holding the interviews, you could convert their answers into USD, Euro, etc. Cool video! I think Im gonna move out of California now! Lol
In my class Students must study themselves in order to earn an A
If you can't do basic currency conversion then you don't deserve to have a passport.
Sir, open another window and in address bar type in 60,000 THB to USD or whatever. It does the conversion for you. You can change the amount and instantly get the conversion. No one needs to do it for you.
Thank you!
@@WanderingBobAK
Great move to move out of sanctuary state of California..... I loved California at one time and traveled there often. But now i would never go there again Gavin totally ruined one of my favorite states
I live in Dallas, Texas but visit London often. The girl that said Fay is her second name for England looks really really familiar. Like she worked in a Hotel I stay at, or pub I frequent..
Rich is when you can buy everything you want and do everything you want without having to work.
Everything else is just income.
That first one is a keeper💯
Spannend, danke!
I didn't think these girls grasped the idea of rich. They struggled with that
W video idea
Interesting take on this from some Thai girls. Very cute ones too, especially the short one with the blonde streaks in her hair in the second interview.
Frangs need to factor in extra expenses though compared to Thais. Such as medical insurance, visa renewals and currency fluctuations if you are relying upon a pension or monthly foreign income.
Plus if you have a "girlfriend" or a wife she will expect you to help her pay for family support which is what a lot of these girls will be doing already while working.
It's still a lot more affordable and better lifestyle than any first world western country for sure, but there are extras that will need to be accounted for too that are unique to a foreigner on a visa situation.
Thats true Ill do a video specifically dedicated to the extras & forgotten costs
The most expensive is the accommodation. Renting is from 15,000 to 25,000 THB per month. After this comes food and going out. I think you need at least 50,000 thb per month to live a relaxed life in Pattaya area (and Pattaya is not expensive like BKK and Phuket).
But ok 50,000 is also cheap compared to Europe and the US. Its better to go on holiday in Thailand than staying there permanent which probably will get boring ..
50K in Thailand is not anything I can live on there-it is all relative. If youa re a kid with low standards sure, but not for any discriminating adult coming from a nice western lifestyle. I can piss that money away in less than a week and that is not one THB on a girl-it is all what one is accustomed to. I like Meridian hotel, Concord Swiss, ,always Pullman, top hotels, flights, again it's all relative.
Everywhere is boring if you don't know what to do
Yes.
It’s just what I have got told by people who have stayed there for more than 3 weeks.
They say there is nothing to do but go to the pool, go out and eat, go to a bar, fighting through all the sells people and bad infrastructure on the road.
The same every day.
After 1 month it get boring.
@@surfermike2
Anything you can do back home you can do in Thailand...even more actually...You aren't able to do things like going to see professional fights every day back home as an example.
But movies, parks, malls, plays, amusements parks etc...just normal things we do in regular life.... They're all available. ..Saying you'll get bored living in Thailand is like saying you'll get bored in your home nation....
Thanks for the video! I'm a Baller Thailand. I was a broky in the U.S.🤣😂🤣
thanks for the video, im curious why dont you choose to live in bangkok,. isnt that where all the action is, better resteraunts ,nightlife etc?
Keep watching;)
sooner or later most of us grow up
@@bravefart1000 good answer
I like the chopsticks and rubber band for a mic stand 555 LOL 😂
The lowest form of "rich" is being able to do whatever you wish short of the expense of high luxury goods such as a 2 million dollar yacht that costs another 2 mil/decade to maintain. Low rich means that you never need to work again, and you can do almost whatever you want within reason with no fear of ever going bust. In US money, this amount would be a nest egg of about 50x your annual liabilities at age 60 increased by about 3% more for every year younger you are. Adjust for the cost of living difference between Thailand and the US, and now you know if you have enough to be low rich in Thailand. Note, that 50x is actually twice the value you need to retire based on the 4% rule, so you could probably live in Thailand never working again on 25x, but you may need to keep at least some reasonable budget considerations in mind.
You’re assuming people MUST live out of savings. At 39, I am retired, with no need to work ever again. I do not have 50x my liabilities in savings nor do I need it to maintain my lifestyle.
The target should be 25X your annual salary at a withdrawal rate of 4%. At your numbers no one could retire. 😂
This was a super interesting video. In my opinion I think if you are making over 100,000 baht per month you are doing pretty good in Thailand. I know a lot of people in Thailand who have been pretty honest about their income. The majority of Thai people make between 10,000-50,000 baht per month. Some foreigners that I have met have made from a low of 30,000 baht to a high of 300,000 baht per month. When you are getting in to the higher range of those numbers, most of them are business owners.
I man 100,000k bath is around 3k USD, even 3k usd is pretty decent.
@@sumireravenclaw8034 3k USD/month after taxes really isn't that much for a single income. Thats about 60k-65k$ USD a year. Thats not enough to afford a home (buy) in most major cities in the US. (if you live in rural or backwarter shit holes, thats good money, but only in them places) Yes I know there are alot of American who make less than that, but no one would consider them "rich" or "living it up". If anything they would be consider "enough to live".
3k$ a month you can live in US lol. Not the biggest cities of course. I was making 3k in LA, was paying 1000 in rent. 3k a month in Thailand you should be living good, if not , it's pretty strange 😆
@@davidkellyjr2092 $65K / year in the US is a decent salary in the US. Affords you way more than "rural or backwater shit". You can live comfortably in big cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Austin, Miami, etc. Like you said, you may not be able to comfortably BUY a house, but you can definitely rent and live good in those cities with that salary. It's not just good money in shitty places. And it is higher than the median salary in the US, so that's a ridiculous statement.
@@sumireravenclaw8034 $3kUSD is borderline poverty in the US but you can live OK in Thailand on that.
Good stuff pimp
Great video 👍 It sounds like I could live there for a month on $2,000 or 72,000 baht and be totally fine. My only problem is getting enough time off work.
yeah 72,000 bath is already a luxury in Thailand
We need to visit at these prices.
Can you brake down the money example - US dollar to their Money. I would appreciate. Thank you. Hoping you have a good day
You learn it
good video. i lived in thailand long time. true
Glad you enjoyed it
I like how the ladies break it down…smart girls
Monthly in Thai Baht
RICH = 200K+ and above
HIGH = 100K-200K
AVG = 50-100K
LOW = 25K-50K
POOR = 25K and below
Haha thats more like rich in Italy or Spain.
200k THB are around 5k Euro. That is rich in Germany, too
It's not true.
@@WaravuzAckraseranee : How is that not true. It seems to be correct, especially, in Bangkok.
@T.S.000 I was born and raised in Bangkok. The Doctors is one of the wealthy people. They have a salary of around 75k - 100k.
i was there 5 years ago it was a great hollidat i wish i could go back but work keeps me in the uk
well, the awarage montly income is 6000 thb in the ISAN. So it is very important witch part of the country we speak of.. You also have to consider that the total household income, determining if the family can afford a car or just a motorbike.
Minute marker 3:12 -- You did not understand what her point was. Her point was that Bangkok has more , it has more of just about everything (outside of beaches) Bangkok has more options . That was the specific point
There’s a lake by CMU?
I think that's the river.
I would bet money it's Angkaew Reservoir.
In Chiang Mai, the average salary should be about 8 to 12k Thai baht? If you are living alone, I think around 20k - 30k baht will be enough to live comfortably without considering other factor like (Housing, Utilities, Bill & other debt) in Chiang Mai. I tried spending 60k within 10 days by going to high end massage, eating spree and buying many unnecessary things but I am still left with 30k++ by end of the 10 days.
Nice! Way to go
well i am rich in Thailand ...however i have no idea what the market is like for my work over there as far as demand for skillset or job availability..
The young lady in the blue Bronx shirt is totally adorable - I'd glady give her what she wants to be happy.
Now aday .... People in Bangkok it seems they are pay at least. 25000 baht perl month so you can calculate for for of expense just living cost
I stayed for 60days and lived great.. i work 10m in US over 175k low expenses here. Work pays for hotels and travel.. im homeless here.. i will be back next year
What’s the watch?

My gross salary is 1,700,000 baht per month £37,500. I don’t feel rich in London. Even when I’m in Bangkok I don’t feel rich.
I live in Bangkok. Unless you're wasting money on ridiculous crap, you're rich in Bangkok. Damn near stupid rich.
@@christopherdiamond495I appreciate it’s a lot of money, but when I compare myself to football players and top businessmen I don’t feel rich.
He's rich in London also.
@@locker1325 or just stupid
My point of view, it’s doesn’t matter where in the world you are if you does not have to work anymore then you are considered rich.
Good point! Thanks
I agree, people can always make more money, but no one can make more time \m/
I've lived on big budgets and small budgets, I think minimum 80000TBH/Month is the best amount to fully enjoy Thailand. If your single and don't want a g/f, you can get by on 40000/Month but even if you date a normal girl, your going to be paying for a lot of things because their wages are so low
I make about 120,000 baht a month. From Retirement and other things. I think that is way more than enough. Being single and not a drinker or party guy. Rich is Relative to standard of living and expectation.
Should be! 😉
Same here iam 23 and i dont think iam rich lol😂
100K is a good amount for a foreigner. Thais who can count and are disciplined in financial terms can live very good with 50K.
They are all so sweet 🥹
Very much
As a tourist who has visited Chiang Mai every year since 2005, I used to budget, after hotel paid, £500 (22,300 Baht) a week. I alway's had a great time and a usual holiday would be upto 3 months.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this. I recently married an older Thai woman but 9 years younger than me. She has 3 more years to retire and I’ll retire in 15 months or so. She has her own home, almost villa style and I own my home in the USA. One idea is winter over in Thailand, hot months we stay at my house. Finding current income levels and what can be done is interesting with my dual retirement. Buying a new Harley in Thailand freaks me out because of the duty tax and I can’t bring my 2020 Harley over. Is there any way to get around this duty tax? Dumb question, of course not. I did but is a new Hilux so at least we have a nice rig to tour around near Khon Kaen. Hope to visit Chiang Mai after I retire.
Doing both could be fun 🤩
Your Harley will get stolen here in Thailand!
Be careful. Protect your assets and control your own finances. Don’t buy a house in Thailand.
I'm Thai living in Bangkok and Phuket i would say 100,000 THB in terms of privilage and luxury living/ take care of my parents and my cats/ more savings or easily to buy land & house and travel abroad (Europe/USA) every year. I now earn below than that but this year i got promoted to a new job and have a chance to get to 100K. (hope soon).
