Broke In Thailand Living On $300 Per Month

I came across an interesting and wacky story of one traveler who somehow ended up in Thailand with only a few hundred dollars to his name living on $300 per month.

I recently did an interview with him (he’s a poker player), and here it is.

Hey mate, could you tell us about your situation right now?

I worked in the UK in a job I hated, and decided it was time for a change.

I managed to get a different job, but the start date wasn’t until September 2016, which left me a little over a year to play around.

I decided I’d go abroad traveling, using the money I’d saved while at work, which was only like $4,500 or so.

I went to Thailand first since my Petite amie thaïlandaise was there, and went traveling round Thailand to Hua Hin, Nakhon Phanom, Nong Khai etc.

I decided to hit up China, but I pretty much hated the country on sight. The pollution is awful, the crowds and the food is bad too.

So I booked a flight back to Bangkok, but the travel agency screwed up the flight details. I ended up having to buy a ticket at the airport (very expensive).

Because of this, I ended up with only $750 left (I also had $300 in an 888 poker account, but I wasn’t planning on funding myself by playing poker in Thailand until I ran into the misfortune with the airline).

How would you rate your quality of life at the moment?

It’s OK.
