    Every time he says &apos;&apos;Thailand&apos; he means &apos;Bangkok&apos;. Just keep that in mind guys.

    I feel like you’re blaming the cost of your living entirely on Thailand/Bangkok, instead of lifestyle and personal financial changes in your life. <br>Single 5 years ago versus girlfriend, larger condo, more income from social media… More income in general means more spending. <br><br>Albeit Thailand has gotten a bit more expensive, but not to the extent to frame it entirely on the country and ignore your life changing.

    Paul your take that Thailand is expensive because your taste is expensive.

    I don&apos;t recognize the New York City you&apos;re describing and I&apos;ve lived here my whole life. But if I did go to Bangkok I would go as a retiree. Meaning, if I haven&apos;t been a club kid while living in Manhattan all these years, I&apos;m certainly not going to become one when I move overseas. So I imagine if you cut partying and eating out every night, Thailand would be very affordable.

    You missed out on Singapore. One of the most expensive Asian country.

    การเปรียบเทียบข้อมูลน่าจะผิดพลาดครับ ในความเห็นของคุณ คุณว่า Bkk แพงสุดในอาเซียน แม้แต่สิงคโปร์กับ KL หรือ Bandar seri bagawan งั้นรึ? ผมว่าเข้าใจผิดครับ<br>ผมเคยไปทุกเมืองหลวงของอาเซียนบ่อยๆ ด้วยภารกิจงานประจำ รู้ดีครับที่ใหนแพงสุด<br>และจริงๆแล้ว Bkk กว้างใหญ่มาก มีทั้งโซนแพงและโซนถูก และผมว่าโซนที่คนไทยอาศัยอยู่จริงๆ (ไม่ใช่พื้นที่ธุรกิจและท่องเที่ยว) มากกว่า 70% ครับเป็นโซนถูก😊

    Cost of living is so relative to each person and their lifestyle. Yes Thailand can be one of the most expensive in SE Asia, but it can also be one of the cheapest.

    I think Singapore and Hong Kong are far far more expensive that Bangkok.

    As someone living in Chiang Mai, I was hoping this was more focused on Bangkok specifically, and not just Thailand.

    As someone who is only able to speak English Vietnam was pretty difficult and China can be tough as well. I haven’t made it to Thailand yet, but may this summer

    You forgot Singapore. They are one of the more expensive Asian countries.
