COST OF LIVING IN THAILAND DECEMBER 2024 HOW EXPENSIVE CAN IT GET IN 2025?

So what was my budget like for December really in Thailand down in Phuket?
Well typically I'm around $1000 USD a month
I've been consistently around that now for almost 4 years,,,
Yes some months it's up some months it's down,but for the most part I am within 10% either way....
Not this month
Lol
I could have been, I should have been....
But I wasn't even close
Lol
As high season comes upon us down here in positively perfect Phuket a lot of things are getting a little bit more expensive such as accommodations motorbike rentals anything like that....
Your cost of living really depends on your lifestyle and honestly does if you're a minimalist like myself who is fine with a smaller place to live you can get by for well under $300 a month for your room...
Food is always a big one and my December wasn't that different ,,,,, overall...
Booze partying and just having fun overall can add up in a hurry if you don't have some discipline....
In the video I fail to mention my massage expense for the month...
That was 2105 exactly for 12 massages...
The place that I go from my massages through 150 Baht each,,, and I actually had a few free massages this month
Woo hoo....
