How much does it cost to live in Thailand alone?
To live in Chiang Mai on a moderate budget, you'll need around $590/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($248), weekday lunches out ($109), weekend casual meals ($53), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($67), a monthly transit pass ($34), and a few taxi rides ($79). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Thailand for two?
2 persons
$1,170
≈ €1,046
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,170 ≈ €1,046/month — a proper apartment ($485), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Thailand?
With a child, the total comes to around $1,324 ≈ €1,184/month. Kids eat less, rarely pay for transit, but you'll need more taxi rides and little extras add up fast. School fees not included.
