If you’re thinking about going to live in Bangkok full time, you need to have a good idea of what your monthly expenses are likely to be. Here’s a rundown of what you get for your money in The Big Mango
I’ve put together a quick guide about how much money you need to live in Bangkok, giving a rough idea of what to budget for rent, food, bills, transport etc. There’s more info on the site about the areas of Bangkok to consider living in, why you need to be near a Skytrain or MRT stop if you can manage it, and the best sites to look on to help you find your own Bangkok Apartment. The guide is a work-in-progress, so all comments are welcome. Don’t forget the classic Travelhappy article Finding long term accommodation in Bangkok.
If you’re looking for info on what budget you need as a traveller in Thailand, see How Much Money Do I Need For Thailand, along with the other articles How Much Money Do I Need For Vietnam, How Much Money Do I Need For Laos and How Much Money Do I Need For Cambodia. These are all useful rough guides as to what you’ll can expect to spend day by day travelling through each of these countries.
