I have previous documented the cost of things in Bangkok<\/a> \u0914\u0930 \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0947 monthly budget in Bangkok<\/a>. This blog post gives a breakdown of my costs in Thailand to a even greater extent and showing you all how I managed to live in Thailand for under $1000 a month.<\/p>\n

 Cost of apartments in Thailand<\/b><\/h2>\n

The rental of apartments in Thailand can be anything from $100 to $3000+ per month depending on your needs. Since we are discussing about living in Thailand for $1,000 a month, I will only go into detail about apartments in the $300 per month or less range.<\/p>\n

For $250-$350 a month in Bangkok, you can expect to get yourself a studio apartment with a bathroom, balcony, air con fridge and WiFi in a close to central part of town. Not right in the center, but not so far away either that it will take hours to get anywhere. Don\u2019t expect this apartment to be kitted out with the latest furniture or having amazing features, just a basic clean room. Room sizes to be around 27-33sq meters. Here are some Bangkok apartments<\/a> in that price range.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind living further away from central Bangkok (for argument sake, lets say Asoke is central), in areas such as Mo chit, Lad Prao, Udom Suk, for the same price you could get a much bigger room, with more amenities, perhaps even a gym and a pool for that price. The only downside being that you now live further away from the center.<\/p>\n

When I was living in Thailand, I spent $350 per month for a studio apartment in Ekkamai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Total so far $350<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cost of transportation in Thailand <\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the best thing about living in Thailand (Bangkok mostly ) is the cheap transportation. Taxi start at 35 baht, the \u092c\u0940\u091f\u0940\u090f\u0938 <\/a>\u0914\u0930 \u090f\u092e\u0906\u0930\u091f\u0940 <\/a>are pretty cheap, so are local buses and motosi taxis. Since I lived in Ekkamai, and everything I wanted to do was nearby I bought myself a bicycle from the Big C.<\/a><\/p>\n

Most places I wanted to go were in cycling distance. I would spend around $20-40 per month on transportation costs while living in Thailand because of my bicycle. You could also look into buying a scooter in Thailand, but I didn\u2019t want to risk my life \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
