Bangkok Monthly Budget - How Much Money Do You Need In Thailand For Full Time Travel
Today we share our Bangkok monthly budget. We spend the month of December in Bangkok, Thailand and we went a little over what we usually spend but still managed to stay under our budget of $4000 a month. Bangkok is one of our favorite cities to visit in early retirement while we do full time travel.

I love love love that you not only do not talk over one another but also that your presentations are equally divided. That's the secret to a long-term marriage and successful KZread channel. Bravo!
OMG!! You both are such an inspiration! I saw this video, showed it to hubby and now we are heading to Bangkok!!!!
Wow, that is an incredible view from the apartment window! Sincerely amazing. (I have visited Thailand several times so I enjoy checking the skyline for areas that I am familiar with.)

Thanks for all the great info! My wife and I are planing on being in Bangkok for a few weeks in January 2025. I have the IHG card in by the time we get there I will be diamond status. What Hotels would you recommend to take full advantage of lounge access but also being near most things. We plan on booking 20 nights which will give us 5 free.
May I ask how you occupy yourselves during the day? I don't see any costs for other entertainment such as sightseeing, entrance fees, days out etc. Do you just stay at home and work on your channels etc for the most part?
Lovely condo. You were given an amazing price for that. Clicking on that link it seems now they are looking for 1860.00 per month. I am traveling this winter and am in BKK now but leaving next week and will be back mid March? I may try to rent a condo/apt on the river!

It's a great area. We rented it almost a year before we got there, so it was pretty low. It still looks like November is open for $1,460 though.
Thank you for sharing your insights and tips. I traveled to Thailand, Japan and China 20 years ago and at that time it was extremely difficult to locate clothing to fit a US women's size 10 blouse or a basic medium in any clothing for a 5'9" 150lbs female. Do shops and retail businesses now carry wester sized clothing given the expat population?

May I ask who you use for your medical insurance and what policy you have? We are about the same age as you and have an ex-pats international policy which excludes USA and Canada, but we still pay more than twice your number.
Do you offer any type of consulting services? I am wanting to travel full-time, but I would love to have a 1-hour Zoom call to discuss the particulars of my situation to get your thoughts. :)
Look8ng for the link to the Airbnb but cant seem to find it
Do you remember the name of the building? If i wanted to see about renting there long term.
Great condo! And only $1,000, that's awesome. I've never been to Thailand but considering staying for 30-60 days this year in April, May. But I'm concerned about the heat...lol. (I live in Atlanta) Have you been there during that time? If so how was it? Also, if you can leave a link for the condo that would be awesome.

How much is this airbnb apartment monthly?
We are visiting Thailand for 60 days during Jan-Mar 2024. Just recently learned short term rentals (Air BnB) are legally limited to 30+ days. I understand that this Bangkok rental was a month, but have you done other Air BnB rentals in Thailand for less than a month? How was your experience with that? What are the risks?

What was the hazard tape around the first pool all about?

I’m an American expat living in the Philippines, I’m very interested in visiting Thailand. My biggest concern is the language barrier, can you comment on your experience with that?
@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel

Yes, pretty much everything is in English and Thai in Bangkok, we've had no trouble with a language barrier. English is widely spoken in the service industry.
