Yong, you spend more than that on wine each month.

Wow, it really pisses me off that some people can live on less than $2000 around here. Makes me think I'm really bad at getting a good deal with the locals for some reason. I hope it's just him.

Interesting, thanks.
@notagain: when you don't have $2000, you do what you have to. Set a mental barrier at $1500 and negotiate on that

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

Ouch...
Living the digital nomad life from that small condo without working outside much.... Far from living the dream, at least for me.

We lived very comfortable in Phuket on less than $1,200/month, 1 kms to the beach with a car, 2 motorcycles, a bicycle and 2 cats
Only ate out 2x/week and didn't frequent bars and such

That's about 61,000 baht a month. I spend a few thousand more than that living in Bangkok -- including rent and local transport. I can spend more but I just don't need to.
I never go to go-gos, soapies or super expensive restaurants nor drink super-expensive craft beers. I refuse to pay well over 200 baht for not even a pint. I just don't need it. I'm out in my neighbourhood with friends every night for 2-3 pints and a couple of whiskeys.
I buy mostly imported vegetables, top quality meats and some ready-made meals. Now, it is getting more expensive living here and recently I have been spending 5,000-7,000 baht more per month.
Oh yeah, I happily live alone, with not even an occasional guest.
