Yesterday I posted comments about my finances now in Thailand during the COVID-19 crisis. After I posted I gave it some thought and decided it would be helpful to compare current crisis\low season prices to high season prices. So here they are.
Below is the Calc sheet I did for my current expenses. You can probably tell I did not include Laundry. The owner of this resort is doing laundry for me at no charge and that’s why there is no line item.
| Total Monthly | THB 31,440 |
| Transportation | THB 140 |
| Hotel | THB 16,800 |
| Food | THB 7,500 |
| Massage | THB 4,000 |
| Incidentals | THB 3,000 |
| $US MONTHLY | $983 |
Below you will notice the difference in current prices and high season prices. Laundry and motorcycle chargers are added in. If you want a general idea what it would cost to have a second large meal during the day probably at a restaurant then a good idea would be to add about 200 baht per day extra.
