Hey Brother I just think we live different lifestyles and have different expectations. I didn't want people thinking it would be a breeze to live so cheap.
If you are able to pull it off that cheap and enjoy it then well done sir.
You guys are both right, IMO. The biggest expense difference is probably rent. You can get a decent place on OnNut for $200-$300 per month. It will be a studio, but a decent one.
The same place off of Asoke or Thonglor will be way more expensive.
I live in BKK on about $1,500 per month, and don't have to budget too much. You could do BKK for $1,000 a month, but it would be a bit tight for me to pull off. $2,000 I think is a good number for BKK, and that would be living very comfortably.
