Introduction

Thailand is more than a tourist destination. It has become one of the top choices for digital nomads, retirees and Francophone entrepreneurs.

Cost of Living

An expat can live comfortably in Bangkok for 25,000 to 40,000 THB per month (~700-1100 EUR). In Chiang Mai, it's even less.

The DTV visa has become the most popular option in 2024-2025.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a balance between cost and quality of life, Thailand remains the best option in Southeast Asia.
