So you are moving to Thailand!
How much is it going to cost to get setup?
- Airfare US $1,000 to $2,500 depending where you are flying in from.
- ~< US $20 for transportation once you land at the international airport
- US $500 to $1000 for a place to stay when you first arrive (Cheap hotel), until you get a permanent place. 7 days.
- Food for those 7 days US $50
- Transportation while looking for a permanent place US $30
- Cellphone service setup US $30.
- First, last, security deposit for rent and utilities. < US $1,000
Realistically speaking, you should be able to fly into Thailand from anywhere, and get yourself setup in a permanent accommodation for less than US $4,500 maximum.
And if you research wisely and have an idea where to stay as soon as you arrive, you can cut the US $4,500 down much lower, maybe even down to < $2,500, including airfare.
It is cheap and easy to get to Thailand and get setup.
Staying is a whole other story.
Chok Dee if you plan on moving.
