"I think one person can live comfortably in Chiang Mai for between $1000-2000/month," said another expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"The cost of living in Chiang Mai is generally quite affordable. Groceries, transportation, and basic necessities are all relatively inexpensive. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with many local eateries offering delicious meals for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay in other cities.
