Cost of living in Thailand

The topic of living costs is especially interesting for long-term tourists and emigrants. Especially with the living space there are big differences, here it depends in particular on whether you are in one of the tourist regions or in the countryside. Food prices may also be cheaper in rural markets than in major cities and popular travel destinations.

The prices are valid for low to mid-range real estate. Upwards, there are almost no limits!
