When you are on a holiday in Thailand, perhaps for the first time or repeat times, you understand the cost of your holiday in Thailand.
Whether 2 weeks or 4 weeks, you probably have planned out the cost carefully.
It is not unusual on a Thai holiday at well know tourist destinations to spend over US $100 to $200 dollars on one evening out.
It may be your first experience or repeat experience and you are willing to budget and spend that money.
2 to 4 weeks of eating in 5 star restaurants, hotels, fancy night clubs, you name it.
The allure of Thailand sucks you in so deeply, you immediately plan to move full time, unaware that 99% of the people could not afford to support a 5 star lifestyle in Thailand.
Once you get the tastes of the 5 star life, going back to normal restaurants and accommodations can become mundane and boring.
Living in Thailand full-time of limited funds is not the same as the 2 week, 5 star experience.
Once you decide to move, Thailand becomes forever and you can expect many have found out the forever experience is not the 5 star experience they were expecting.
