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.

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.

    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?

    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.

    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?
