I have never in all my life seen seen anything like this lolol

I've recently gone to Thailand and my wife is from there too. For you all to know $1 USD = 37 Baht. So for USD conversion, $75,000 baht divided by 37 is $2027 USD a month and $40,000 baht equals $1081 USD a month. I can attest that the USD goes a long way, and 40,000 baht a month is a really good salary in Bangkok. If you make 40k USD a year in the USA you could live like a king in Thailand. A typical meal here in the US is around $50 to $100, in Thailand that same meal is about $4-6 USD for comparison.

Haha! I’m already looking at making the move…this video REALLY pushed me in that direction😂

Ok, I lived in BKK for some time then I realized that I could live in the North Chiang Rai for a fraction of the cost. I went from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house and it saved me enough money that I can Fly to BKK and back every weekend and still have a few Baht for a few meals. It's only a HR and 10 minute flight and sometimes from Suk 22 to the airport was a longer drive then the flight. Here you need 40k to do as you please in BKK then you need 100k a month and going further down to the Islands it's more than that.

@@johndoe3960 Hey, Everyone is different and I happen to enjoy living here because I wanted to get away from Westerners. I made enough by 45 dealing with people that I enjoy the laid back atmosphere. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time here and I have to say that I enjoyed the pre COVID BS times and went out more but if you live here there's a lot to do. It's definitely a slower pace of life and I find the people to be very friendly unless they don't understand or speak English and would rather ignore you then losing face because they can't talk with you. Also I found that Northern Thai is different than BKK Thai and if you don't speak Thai then that could be your problem to. I choose to live here so I can spend more money on travel and I enjoy seeing New places and I live on a fixed income because I still have another 13 to 15 years and never want to worry about money again but still be able to do as much as I can with the time I have left. Again, Sorry about your experience.

Even for a foreigner, 100,000 baht is more than enough to live comfortably in any part of thailand. Of course, your not by any means wealthy. If your eating out with a guest every day, that can be up to 50,000 per month, easily. A small place in a nice apartment is about 15,000. Then there is entertainment, transportation (round trip flights in and around thailand range 2k to 6k), house keeper(aka your girl friend, about 15,000), emergency fund, and etc. If you have a retirement nest egg of about 1.5 milliion USD and you keep it in the S&P 500. You can be conservative and withdraw about 3% or about 3,750 USD (130,000baht) per month. If you're frugal like me, you can do it with a quarter of the that.

Interesting take on this from some Thai girls. Very cute ones too, especially the short one with the blonde streaks in her hair in the second interview. Frangs need to factor in extra expenses though compared to Thais. Such as medical insurance, visa renewals and currency fluctuations if you are relying upon a pension or monthly foreign income. Plus if you have a "girlfriend" or a wife she will expect you to help her pay for family support which is what a lot of these girls will be doing already while working. It's still a lot more affordable and better lifestyle than any first world western country for sure, but there are extras that will need to be accounted for too that are unique to a foreigner on a visa situation.

The lowest form of "rich" is being able to do whatever you wish short of the expense of high luxury goods such as a 2 million dollar yacht that costs another 2 mil/decade to maintain. Low rich means that you never need to work again, and you can do almost whatever you want within reason with no fear of ever going bust. In US money, this amount would be a nest egg of about 50x your annual liabilities at age 60 increased by about 3% more for every year younger you are. Adjust for the cost of living difference between Thailand and the US, and now you know if you have enough to be low rich in Thailand. Note, that 50x is actually twice the value you need to retire based on the 4% rule, so you could probably live in Thailand never working again on 25x, but you may need to keep at least some reasonable budget considerations in mind.

The target should be 25X your annual salary at a withdrawal rate of 4%. At your numbers no one could retire. 😂

The most expensive is the accommodation. Renting is from 15,000 to 25,000 THB per month. After this comes food and going out. I think you need at least 50,000 thb per month to live a relaxed life in Pattaya area (and Pattaya is not expensive like BKK and Phuket). But ok 50,000 is also cheap compared to Europe and the US. Its better to go on holiday in Thailand than staying there permanent which probably will get boring ..

In Chiang Mai, the average salary should be about 8 to 12k Thai baht? If you are living alone, I think around 20k - 30k baht will be enough to live comfortably without considering other factor like (Housing, Utilities, Bill & other debt) in Chiang Mai.

Yes. For western men, retiring in SE Asia countries is the best. BUT make sure you know the law and rules which applies to foreign-born men marrying and staying here. Most laws now benefits the locals more then foreign-born.

​@@Bax60I don't know you, your age, or your circumstances. But, if you own your home outright (paid in full) maybe it's better you rent it out and use that income to try out living in Thailand first. This way, if it's not as good as you thought it would be you can return back home. Just an idea. Have a nice day.

Love the girl who said "Married for 1 night" My kinda woman 😁🥰 Thanks for uploading, I feel mega rich now (As long as I dont look at the expences of living over here in the West) I´ve never really thought about money in Baht, but most people I know, including myself, earn at least a couple million (THB) every year, some a lot more.. That sounds pretty cool when you say it out loud :D

We need to visit at these prices.

In my opinion. To live comfortably you need to make 50k baht($1,500) per month. Rich is anything above 100k baht per month. Poor is 15k baht per month, you'll be living paycheck to paycheck.

baht -> USD conversion says that 40,000 baht = $1500 mo ! $3500mo ( USD ) is basically high class over there.... thats ridiculous !

As a tourist who has visited Chiang Mai every year since 2005, I used to budget, after hotel paid, £500 (22,300 Baht) a week. I alway's had a great time and a usual holiday would be upto 3 months.

Had to do double-take on that girl with the bird in her hair. I thought it was a decoration and then I saw it move, LOL

WOW, that first pair of girls, the one with the two-tone hair is just STUNNINGLY beautiful!

I live in Phuket. A villa starts anywhere at 40.000 baht and up. The amounts these girls mention don't make you rich in any way. A decent villa is 80k, a really nice one 120k+. During high season these prices double or even triple. My monthly costs with a 50k villa are 150k baht. I don't party, drink or whatever. I do eat a lot of food for bodybuilding, so food costs for me and my girlfriend are 25-35k baht a month. 40-50k/month as they said does not make you rich. It would mean I only have food, electricity, but no house, gas, or anything like that.

The amount stated by these girls is relative to their understanding of what makes someone financially free. I live off a net a income of around 100k and I'm certainly not rich, but compared to a lot of people I am in a relatively comfortable position. It's much like someone earning a million baht a month thinking someone who earns 70k a month is poor - it's all relative.

@@ianscott424 It's relative. Bangkok and Phuket are the most expensive places to live. 50k is enough to live really well in many places, it's only enough to live ok in Phuket.

What do you do in thailand that makes you 150k baht per mo? You must have an income coming from abroad.

@luxuryseaviewvillas6744 I think you are bang in the money here. 50k to 60k every month would give you a comfortable life in Thailand without being extravagant. Basic accomadation, plenty of money for food, and the occasional big night out if that's your thing...

I like you vidoes man, thanks for posting them! You ain't the "Pimp In Paradise" though, that's my title when I'm in LOS. Just so you know, FYI.

well, the awarage montly income is 6000 thb in the ISAN. So it is very important witch part of the country we speak of.. You also have to consider that the total household income, determining if the family can afford a car or just a motorbike.

Thank you for this. I recently married an older Thai woman but 9 years younger than me. She has 3 more years to retire and I’ll retire in 15 months or so. She has her own home, almost villa style and I own my home in the USA. One idea is winter over in Thailand, hot months we stay at my house. Finding current income levels and what can be done is interesting with my dual retirement. Buying a new Harley in Thailand freaks me out because of the duty tax and I can’t bring my 2020 Harley over. Is there any way to get around this duty tax? Dumb question, of course not. I did but is a new Hilux so at least we have a nice rig to tour around near Khon Kaen. Hope to visit Chiang Mai after I retire.

Be careful. Protect your assets and control your own finances. Don’t buy a house in Thailand.

You really need 200k min if you want to rent a decent place. Drive a new / decent car as well as your partner / wife. Play golf 2-3 times a week. Eat at Western restaurants of reasonable quality 3-4 times a week. Thai food is good but you need a change. Go on a holiday locally once every two months for a week or two and stay at nice accommodation. Then you have medical insurance and groceries etc. A roast chicken in villa mart is now 400 thb. Decent Wine is double compared to western countries. Buy certain veggies and salad from local markets…it soon goes if you want a reasonable standard of life. You could exist on 100k a month but might as well stay in your home country.

Some of us out here still don't know the comparison to the U. S. dollar. Great video though! 👍🏾
