    Can you live for $10 a day in Bangkok? I took the $10 challenge in Bangkok. Cost of Living in Thailand is put to the test in this video. After releasing my other Bangkok Cost of Living video I received many comments about how expensive Bangkok has become. Yes it's true, you could spend tons of money to live in this city.
    But....is it possible to live for a day on 300 baht, which is $10 USD? Watch the video and find out.

      Hi there, I must say that this is a very inspiring and a good quality content. By the way, were those some drone footages I saw just now? I have one myself but I thought it’s not legal to fly it in Bangkok, so I only fly it outside of Bangkok or in some places without flight restrictions
      Anyway, as an expat who’s living in Bangkok and growing my UA-cam channel about traveling I would like to hear from you, maybe some advice from you 🙏🏼

    To put it into perspective, you can get a coffee in Bangkok for 50cent or $10. It's all up to you. You can live like a king or you can live like a local. You can choose what suits your lifestyle best but it's always fun and interesting to be there doesn't matter what.

    I can't imagine how anyone could says it's as expensive in Bankok as in any western city. That omelet you had would have cost you the entire 300 bht in NYC, LA or any big city in US. It did look good! Love the video, pure entertainment.

    • @RetiredWorkingForYou
      @RetiredWorkingForYou  4 роки тому +51

      this is the best comment of the day for me so far. because this was EXACTLY the point of the video. not that you can live all-in for $10/day in Bangkok. But that you CAN live cheaper here than any western city (which many people say you can't). there is no way you can go eat 3 meals like that for $1 - $2 each. awesome to see your comment man, thanks!

      It's not that good. They are greasy and fluffy. You won't want them often. and if you eat meat, good luck. When you add up all the actual costs of living, it can be as much or more than many cities in the U.S. But, just like many cities in the U.S. you can find very low cost places to live and eat...but the great majority of westerners would not even be able to live like that here. Really.

      The place that sells good and cheap foods are usually in the evening markets, they costs around $3-$5 for each option. I own a Thai restaurant on Hawaii island (USA) and the rich people here (y'know the old money folks with cheap flip-flops but has metal credit cards) preferred foods that are Non-GMO, local produces, gluten-free, no msg, no dyes, and 100% vegans....etc at the triple priced of what we normally eaten in Thailand. Yes you can find foods like that in Thailand but just don't buy CP products the ones in 7-Eleven, those are gross.

I prefer the landscapes, the infrastructure, ppl were friendlier, roads slightly safer (comparing saigon or hanoi to bkk). Different strokes for different folks though. I will say vietnam was slightly cheaper but coming from Canada they're both incredibly cheap places.

    I have been to Bangkok loads and when people ask is it expensive the simple answer is.. yes and no.
    Buy lunch and a beer in the 5/4 star hotels and you can easily part with 30/35 euro.
    Have a drink on the rooftop bars and your talking 15 euro plus per drink.
    Go to the Koh San Roads, Nana etc areas and prices in bars are close enough to what you'd expect to pay in the west. tuk tuk's also will charge you ten times more what they would charge a local. I know this because I hopped in one with a local and it was like 65 cents for a journey which the day before was 10 euro.
    This Gentleman in the video is showing what it is like to live like a thai person in Bangkok. Not the kind of experience you want when you are on holiday though. So with that in mind, for a holiday, Bangkok is reasonably priced

The meal you had in the evening was Nam Prik Kapi (Chile Sauce made from shrimp paste) topping with Chaom Tod (Fried Acacia Penata with egg). This dish is very and truly Thai! The sauce itself is similar to Sambal of Indonesia and Malaysia. The chive dumping may look similar from the outside but the taste is different too. I heard about the interest of Buddhism in your family too, it is so good to be in Thailand indeed for this topic.

    $10 dollars a day in Bangkok isn’t even a challenge and us Thais would know that, you can easily live in Bangkok with $10 a day, you should do $2-3 to make it more challenging.

      Your reply is kind of rude Paul. Although it is a stretch to SPEND ONE DAY in Bangkok for $10, the video merely shows that it can be done. Living in Bangkok on $10 a day is not the subject of the video. There is a farang in Pattaya who did a video about living down there for $500 a month including rent and food and entertainment. That may be more the kind of video you're looking for.

    I've lived in Thailand for 10yrs and I can live on 100bht a day salad eggs veg fish cheap in the local market I don't understand why people seem to believe you need to spend thousands of baht everyday just to survive the cost of living in Thailand is inexpensive if you drink go to the supermarket and save yourself a lot of money compared to the bar prices

      You can't compare Florida with Bangkok I think. One sign that easily indicating is there's no pine woods or tree in or around BKK naturally unlike in Florida. it signifies BKK is lower in latitude and hotter. There's pine wood just up in the north of Thailand or up on the mountains above 700-800 m.

    This video really captured the essence of life in Bangkok. I lived there for 5 years and I really miss just walking around seeing all the interesting people and the general energy of the place. When I lived there, I think I spent between 300 - 1000 on food and transport and about 200 baht a day on my rent/amenities but some days it could get by on as little as 200 baht.

This means you can go to an upscale restaurant once per week. so you will feel you have a high quality life if you get into the habit of spending only on necessaries. that's what I and my friends did in high school - from frugal Taiwanese.
