For Phuket I spend $850 a month on rent + electricity, but I have basicly the best location possible in Phuket, Patong and 100 m2 living space.
For Phuket if you take a one year contract for a 50 m2 room at a decent location (not too far from all the action) is probally around $500 rent including everything. For a 30 m2 room its probally not that much cheaper, around $400 including everything, but it all depends on the location. Patong probally the most expensive place to live in lol.
My expenses per month:
Living place: $850
Food: $200
Bike: $125
Gym: $40
Drinks (at the bar): $400~ (used to be way more but im cutting down on drinks at the bar lol)
Girlfriend(s): $450~
ED VISA: $130 on avg each month
$2.2k~ a month, **** im spending too much
,
im stuck to my apartment for another 11 months, I have enough savings but if I can't sustain my expenses for some reason I will be moving over to Pattaya aswell or move to a smaller place and cut out some drinks and girlfriends
. I will buy a bike though which should save me some money longterm too and I have to stop spending too much money on (western) food.
