Bonjour,
Avec quel minimum (en argent) commence-t-ton à bien vivre en Thaïlande ? 🙂
Original post
Quel minimum d'argent pour bien vivre en Thaïlande?
by Planetegirl
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Merci pour votre réponse, c'est à peu près ce que je pensais étant donné que le salaire moyen est 400 euros par mois et le salaire minimum légal 140 euros. L'amie chez qui je vais aller loue son 24m2 50 euros par mois.
Pourriez-vous me donner en vrac des prix alimentaires en supermarché style pâtes, yaourts natures, etc... ?
Par ailleurs, trouve-t-on des aliments issus de l'agriculture bio ?

salut 400 est plus que moyen . 😉
je n'ai pas trop les chiffres exactes .. mais un yaourt .. est entre 10 eut 15 bt . ? etc .. agriculture bio .. il n' y a pas le label . mais en général sur les marchés c'est bio naturellement ..
tiens si tu aime la salade assaisonner a la française .. amené ta moutarde .. ici c'est relativement rare de trouver la bonne moutarde qui te fait exploser le nez .. on a le droit a la moutarde beurk .. sucrée venant des usa ..

Bjr,
Il est impossible de répondre précisément à cette question: quel est votre style de vie? Où en Thaïlande? Dans quel type de logement? Quelle couverture santé souhaitez-vous?
Un thaï vit très très bien avec 500e par mois, c'est considéré là-bas comme un bon salaire. Un opérateur, ouvrier spécialisé, employé touche entre 150 et 200 e net par mois, parfois avec une couverture santé par l'employeur.
Si vous comparez avec la France, vous avez donc un rapport de 1 à 8 environ.
Dès que vous êtes expat, vous avez des frais supplémentaires, mais la vie quotidienne de base est très économique: alimentation, vêtements, téléphone, transports, logement, ...à comparer aussi à la vie en France, où TOUT est cher.
Pour le bio en Thaïlande, il existe 1 ou 2 chaînes de magasins, dont une je crois soutenue par le Roi. Il existe aussi une asso GREEN NET, mais je ne sais pas si elle a des magasins. En cherchant sur le net, tapez THAILAND ORGANIC FOOD, vous aures certainement des infos.

le smic ou salaire moyen ne peuvent donner le cout de la vie

Par ailleurs, trouve-t-on des aliments issus de l'agriculture bio ?
Chat-lut,
Le régime alimentaire thaïlandais "de base" ne comprend pas de "pates", ni de yaourts, et quasiment jamais de "produits bio" !
Or pour vivre vraiment "économiquement" ici, il faut absolument vivre "à la thaïlandaise" (de base) sinon, l'écart de prix peut de suite devenir énorme ...
L'aliment de base no 1, c'est le riz qu'on trouve par sac de 5kg (plus pour les grandes familles) et dont le prix varie de 85 bahts (celui que j'emploie pour la pâtée des chiens) à 200 bahts (celui qu'on mange avec Madame et qu'on offre aux visiteurs).
De très nombreuses personnes ici mangent des assiettes de riz "assaisonné" de nam prik, une sorte de pâte de piments qui ont des recettes innombrables (celui de ma femme est paraît-il très très bon), cette pâte coûte elle environ 20 bahts le petit sachet qui peut suffire à une personne pour 2/3 jours ...
Ensuite vous avez les nouilles de riz qui sont très appréciées aussi mais nettement plus chères (au kg) et qui ne se mangent pas "nature" mais dans des soupes (y compris la curiosité très typiquement thaïlandaise : la "soupe sèche" ou mee-heng ayant une foultitude d'ingrédients (pousses de soja, coriandre, louk-tchin, luat-mou, mou-deng -fines tranches- etc etc etc).
Pour un bol de nouilles, comptez de 20 à 40 bahts (pi-sèt, la égrande taille pour moi !)
La "cuisine" (plats très élaborés) est nettement plus chère encore, et servie dans les restos la plupart du temps (peu de gens "cuisinent" -pas de temps- d'autant plus qu'un thaïlandais moyen fait 5 repas par jour !).
Pour cette "cuisine", comptez de 20 à 50 ou 100 bahts par personne selon le "niveau" du resto (cabane en bord de route ou MK à Samui).
Vous aurez noté que jamais on ne vous aura parlé de "bio", c'est un truc occidental, ici le paysan est toujours productiviste et a du mal à s'en sortir, le consommateur a du mal à se nourrir à sa faim donc c'est "export" ou "touristique" ...
Tout le reste est à l'avenant, l'occidental moyen a ses schémas alimentaires culturels qui font qu'il se nourrit différemment et donc paye plus cher que le thaïlandais "de base" !
Et les douanes se font un malin plaisir de sélectionner les produits peu consommés (luxe) et de leur coller des taxes exhorbitantes ... (vin très taxé mais pas la bière par exemple, whisky importé très taxé mais pas le "sangsom" -whisky local etc ... jusqu'aux rasoirs peu utilisés ici -les hommes sont presque imberbes naturellement).
Pour la "santé", les thaïlandais bénéficient des soins "à 30 bahts" alors que pour vous ce sera au moins 10 fois plus (s'il n'y a pas trop de pilules et pour un toubib "de quartier").
NB:Le salaire "moyen" n'est pas de 400 €, cette somme est un très bon salaire donc assez rare à "dégotter" (banque, comptabilité, informatique ...).

mais beaucoup gagnent plus que ca des fois + 750 000 baht par mois certaines commercantes qui louent des boutiques dans les centres commerciaux .

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
