We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Thailand, they wrote...

"It depends on your life style, I know people who live on 50,000 baht a month, we spend about 100,00 baht a little more, a little less, depending on what we are doing," said another expat in Nonthaburi, Thailand.

"The cost of living in Thailand is generally quite low compared to other parts of the world. It is possible to find good value accommodation, food and entertainment. On the other hand, prices can vary depending on the location and the type of lifestyle one wants to live. Shopping is also quite affordable, with both local and international brands available. Generally speaking, an individual can live comfortably in Thailand on a budget," wrote a member who made the move to Thailand.
