Thailand is famous for having a low cost of living – accommodation, food and travel costs are very cheap compared to other countries. All areas in Thailand generally have a low living cost; however, we recommend settling in the Esan area as the cost of living is remarkably cheaper than central and northern areas. This will allow you to save a lot of money each month, something that we recommend especially for those that will have the subsidy. You can pick up delicious meals for $1, comfortable accommodation is about $90 per month, travelling across the country should cost no more than $30 (usually much less).
