Living in Bangkok
Bangkok is probably one of the most affordable capital cities in the world to spend time, either short or long.
The biggest expense when living somewhere is usually accommodation. The cost of living is much reasonable here and is often relatively cheap compared to other cities in Western hemisphere.
As for renting, expect to pay between 30,000 and 50,000 baht for a 2-bedroom furnished apartment. This would include access to a swimming pool and exercise room, most likely also a sauna. Maid services, laundry often can be arranged quite cheaply.
If food is one of your favourite things in life, Bangkok is the right place to be. There are really a lot of restaurants in Bangkok, from local Thai dishes to the most exquisite French cuisine. Of course, the cost depends on what kind of food you have, and where you have it.
You can choose between the many international fast food restaurants, which offer the same type of meals which you would find back home but often much cheaper. Or you can opt for dining in the many restaurants around town.
Bangkok has the most job opportunities both for teachers and people in other fields of work. But ex-pats are not simply forced to live in Bangkok against their will. Bangkok is always ready to welcome people who make their home here as well as people passing through on holiday.
The cost of living in Bangkok really depends on your lifestyle, but from above information you hopefully get the idea that this can be very low on a daily basis, especially if you lead a lifestyle that closely resembles that of the locals.
