    When I was in Thailand, I spent even less than that. My apartment was about $115 per month. So, out of $1000, it was enough money to do whatever I wanted to do. I traveled and ate at restaurants EVERYDAY!

      If you are eating local food 90% of the time your over all food bill can be less then $400 a month. He did not add cell, visa cost, insurance. If you are frugal and like living a very simple life you can do $1000 in some areas in the Kingdom but for most you should plan at least $2000 a month min and if you spend less then great. If you want luxury the sky is the limit on what you can spend in Bangkok.

    That's a lot of money you're spending there, you're probably the type that has to spend exorbitantly to be able to maintain their mental health. I remember the last time I travelled in Thailand in 2018 I averaged about $9 a day in expenditure on accommodation, food and transportation, so under $300 a month, so I was able to enjoy the country with 1/5 of your level of consumption. It's quite interesting how different people require differing levels of consumption to be content.

      That's a massive monthly expenditure in Thailand. I spent $270 per month when I was traveling around Thailand visiting temples, beaches, staying in guesthouses every night etc. About $1,700 of that $2,000 would be funding addictions, hedonistic pleasures, excesses and luxuries.
