How much does it cost to live in Thailand alone?
To live in Phuket on a moderate budget, you'll need around $874/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($466), weekday lunches out ($168), weekend casual meals ($67), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($94), a monthly transit pass (), 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
$1,518
≈ €1,357
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,518 ≈ €1,357/month — a proper apartment ($701), 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 $1,691 ≈ €1,511/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.
