Is the cost of living in Chiang Mai high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Chiang Mai, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Chiang Mai is generally quite affordable. Groceries, transportation, and basic necessities are all relatively inexpensive. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with many local eateries offering delicious meals for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay in other cities. Renting an apartment or house is also quite affordable, with many options available for a reasonable price. Overall, Chiang Mai is a great place to live for those looking for a low cost of living," said another expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"I think one person can live comfortably in Chiang Mai for between $1000-2000/month," wrote a member who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
