    An estimate from third-party prices, at about 33.5 baht per dollar. Not financial advice.

    How the estimate works

    Each line comes from a source we name on our cost of living guide. Rent, utilities, internet and meal prices are Numbeo's city figures (updated October 2026). Groceries are Wise's $226 per person a month. The transport pass is Numbeo's ฿1,155 a month. Medical plans and vehicles use Expatica's ranges, which is why they show as a range.

    The totals are our own arithmetic. Two people share rent, utilities, internet and a vehicle, and each person pays for groceries, meals and a transport pass. We found no 2026 source for a couple's budget, so treat two-person totals as a rough guide.
