How much does it cost to live in Thailand alone?
To live in Pattaya on a moderate budget, you'll need around $572/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($275), weekday lunches out ($102), weekend casual meals ($64), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($70), a monthly transit pass ($27), and a few taxi rides ($34). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Thailand for two?
2 persons
$1,180
≈ €1,055
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,180 ≈ €1,055/month — a proper apartment ($586), 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 $1,288 ≈ €1,152/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.
