It's the only place I've ever lived in Thailand, but for my $3000 dollars, Pattaya is a great option. Hopefully, by the end of this video you'll know if you can afford it and want to move here or anywhere in Thailand.

I always said, if I move to Thailand, it's not because I want to live cheap, it's because I want to live well. This is the perfect budgeting video for those who aren't trying to pinch every penny.
For Thais, 3000US a month, rent+food+leisure included, is A MILLIONAIRE LIFESTYLE.
I own my condo so that is an expense saved. I budget for everything else £1,300 a month and live very comfortably without really pinching. I like a regular massage, couple of beers most days, eating out, motobike (no car)... I live well and comfortably on that sum.
I think two reasons why the entertainment budget drops over time: 1) you figure out what you like, so you don't waste money trying things, and 2) the bars/clubs/etc. you like realize that you'll be a long term customer, so they'll stop trying to gouge you as much as possible on each outing.
fascinating...
Finally! Someone with a realistic budget! So many other videos I've seen on this topic over the years have been scraping the ultra low end of the available options... Like 5k a month old crapbox apartments and eating nothing but 30bt bowl of noodles! Who wants to retire and live like that?! This video is realistic and spot on for budgeting a good life. Excellent, saving this to my favorites. 👍
USD rising above the THB has pretty much cancel out rising costs in Thailand for me.
What you forgot to mention regarding Tricare overseas is that you're required to pay your medical bills/fees up front and submit a claim for reimbursement.
excellent video!! I agree 100%, you CAN live on less than you mention in Thailand, but do you really want to? NOT ME, my wife and I live in Chiang Mai on $2,000 CA (Including health insurance for 2 people), about $1500 USD, EASILY!!!!, taking trips all over SE Asia, adding in vehicle rental, hotels in other places, etc etc, we can spent up to $3,000 CA, or about $2200 USD, that is on the HIGH SIDE!!!!!! Thailand wins in SE Asia, no comparison to the Philippines (where my wife is from), Thailand wins hands down as the best place to live in SE Asia
Outstanding. Boom, boom, boom... you covered lots of excellent info here. Within like 60 seconds I was thinking "he must be a former military guy," then learned I was right! With other videos, I often grumble "get to the bloody point!" You're on point from beginning to end. Please keep doing these videos, we need a lot more like yours.
An important thing to consider for those thinking of coming to Thailand from the US is that the exchange is at about a 20year high.
You covered a whole lot brother, and all information was 100% accurate from transportation, home/apartment rental, also car/Motorbike rental, healthcare, food costs based on if you eat out a lot, or eat at home, and whether you spend a lot or very little out on WALKING STREET, etc.. As for me I spend only 12,500 baht for rent which include all utilities which amounts to less than $400 usd per month, and I eat beans/brown rice, and mostly skinless chicken breasts cut up into small finger size pieces, which amounts to approximately 3,500 baht=$100 usd per month.. I will NEVER RENT A MOTORBIKE, or a car in Thailand because other than avoiding injuries or death, I also like AVOIDING any accidents that could cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS because I'm a foreigner, and the Thai person will also be in the RIGHT ha ha.. At present I have a net income of approximately only $3,100 usd which at 38 baht for a dollar= 118 K baht, so I live off a budget of 42K baht per month which include rent=12,500, girlfriend=15,000, and I have 15K baht which I spend the 3,500 baht for my food, and I have 11,500 for my messing around money, then I SAVE 78,000 baht per month. I rarely drink any alcohol, but did stop by the "PLAYERS CLUB" on Soi Honey Inn since I saw it advertised on the "Zoom To Thailand" video just to see what it was like and to check out the "Toni Braxton" Look Alike who was advertised and chuckled down a Small "M" Beer for 75 baht, then drank water the rest of the night walking around for my daily exercise.. Like you stated brother, THAILAND IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, and we can spend our money in many different ways. I save money because I will eventually return back to southern California, and with inflation rising as fast as it is, I HOPE TO BE IN A POSITION TO PAY CASH FOR A CONDO SO THAT I CAN AVOID RISING RENTAL COSTS . Always thinking ahead in case I'm on this earth for an even longer time.. Oh yeah, I NEVER smoked tobaccos of any kind, and that saves me a lot of money , especially since cigarettes are very expensive so I've been told. I have been saving around here since I retired as a probation officer at age 50 yrs old back in 2004, 18 yrs ago of monthly savings, and so far I have never been ill inside a hospital ever in my entire life, and I hope God keep on blessing me with excellent physical and psychological health 😇🙏ha ha ha..
I live here in Pattaya too. Rolling along just like you bro. You are spot on, on all of the budget items and costs. I have been living the life here in Pattaya for 11 years. I want to say to all of your viewers, that all of your information is 100% correct!
This is one of your better budget videos. dynamic and straight to the point! Excellent! Thanks for your time on this...
Thank you for providing the information. I just left from my vacation, specifically to prove these numbers and I found it all to be fairly accurate. Thanks for opening up your budget to us. Great information. See yall in 2 months, retiring. Really appreciate the VA benefits in Thailand information. Never seen that information.
wow man one of your best videos - me trying to come for 5 weeks has me smiling - once again thank you
You're the first vlogger who has mentioned how Tricare or FMP works and that it works in Thailand!!!!
Excellent budget review. You are very clear and jovial in your presentation of Thailand budgeting 👍🏿💰
From my experience in Bangkok about 9/10 brick and mortar merchants accept Apple Pay (referred to as “tap to pay”). I’ve found it much easier and safer than using the physical card. Also the notification will auto convert the amount into USD so it gives me a better idea of what Im spending
