Can You Live in Thailand on 20,000 Baht? Real Cost Breakdown (2026)

Описание: How much does it REALLY cost to live in Thailand in 2026?

In this video, I break down the real cost of living in Thailand using three budgets: 20,000 baht, 50,000 baht, and 100,000 baht per month.

We are a family of three living in Surat Thani, Thailand, and I share our actual monthly expenses — including rent, utilities, petrol, school fees, groceries, insurance, and eating out.

I also explain:

• Talat (fresh market) vs supermarket shopping
• Why shopping at Makro can save money
• Why islands are more expensive
• Why Phuket, Bangkok, and Pattaya cost more than provincial Thailand
• Why tourist budgets are very different from living budgets
• What this budget does NOT include (alcohol, nightlife, luxury travel)

Thailand can be cheap.
Thailand can also be expensive.
It all depends on your lifestyle.

If you’re thinking about moving to Thailand, retiring here, or visiting long term — this breakdown will help you understand realistic monthly costs.

We live in Surat Thani, but this information applies across Thailand with adjustments for location.
