The 2021 Costs of Living Survey, conducted by Mercer HR, showed that Bangkok is still among the cheapest cities in the world, ranking as the 46th most expensive city. This compares favorably to other major Asian cities, such as Hong Kong (#2nd), Tokyo (#4th), Shanghai (#6th), Singapore (#7th), Beijing (#9th), Seoul (#11th), and Osaka (#23rd).
“Expats relish Thailand’s climate and low cost of living, which make it a top-rated destination to start a new life, especially for retirees. Accommodation is affordable and modern. The public transport and communications infrastructure are good. And you’ll enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in exotic surroundings. Thai people are friendly and accepting of ‘farangs’ (foreigners), although you may find it takes longer to develop strong relationships.”
