#USA #thailand #relocated #expatlife #costofliving #thailandlife We Spend $3,000 a Month as a Family of Four in Thailand — Take a Look at Our Life An American family left behind their house, cars and successful careers to build a new life in Thailand—but their decision came at an emotional cost. After initially moving without their teenage sons, they faced criticism from relatives and accusations that they had abandoned their children. In this documentary, Dee and Tati reveal why they left America, how safety concerns influenced their decision and what it really costs to live in Thailand as a family of four. They take us inside their Thailand townhouse and explain how they spend approximately $3,000–$4,000 per month on housing, groceries, healthcare, transportation, family activities and travel. Their teenage sons also share their honest perspectives on being left in America, adjusting to life abroad and whether moving to Thailand ultimately brought their family closer together. One son reveals how life in Atlanta began going downhill—and why he describes his parents as the superheroes who came to save him. This is an honest look at moving from America to Thailand, raising teenagers abroad, the cost of living in Thailand, family life in Bangkok and the sacrifices required to start over in another country.
