Welcome back to fitravelife.com! This is another my regular post for living cost in Bangkok, Thailand for May 2022. I hope this post will help readers get ideas how much typical single man spend a month.
Total cost – 28,503 THB
| Fitness | 4,911 |
| Travel | 5,969 |
| Food | 5,888 |
| Housing | 7,600 |
| Utilities | 1,144 |
| Others | 2,991 |
| Total | 28,503 |
Total cost for May, 2022 was 28,503 THB, the amount was a bit higher than my budget target 25,000 THB per month but actually now I am considering this amount is acceptable for monthly cost.
Fitness – 4,911 THB
| Gym | 2,900 | 14 months for 16,800THB, 1200THB/month Personal training 2 times (800THB/session) Gym in Buriram 100 THB |
| Protein | 1,210 | 50lbs (9kg) Whey protein pay for 10 months |
| Supplement | 801 | Vitamin C 335 THB 62 tablets Multi vitamin 466 THB 60 tablets *2 |
I started to take Vitamin C as supplement , following advice from my trainer to improve my stomach condition and heal diarrhea. Vitamin C works to curb harmful bacteria inside intestine to help digest nutrition from food intake. I just wanted readers to know that diarrhea is severe disease for body making, it means that your body cannot digest food and circulate nutrition to whole body. Since I started to take Vitamin C, I seldom have diarrhea symptom and feel better my body condition. There will be several reasons why you have diarrhea. If you think you do not have chance to take Vitamin C regularly, please try to take it consciously.
Travel – 5,969 THB
| Transportation | 1,550 | Pattaya bus round trip 130 THB*2 Hua hin bus round trip 294 THB*2 Songteaw in Pattaya 10 THB *2 Hua Hin Songteaw 10 THB *3 Mini van Bangkok to Chonburi 110 THB Motor bike in Chonburi 50 THB Mini van Chon buri to Chanthaburi 180 THB Mini van Chanthaburi to Trat 70 THB Bus Trat to Bangkok 252 THB |
| Accommodation | 4,419 | Pattaya one night 3,798 THB Hua hin one night 301 THB Trat one night 320 THB |
This month, I took one night trip to Pattaya, Hua hin and Trat done by land transport for all. Since I stayed at luxurious hotel at Pattaya for Hilton Pattaya hotel, travel cost was increased by this hotel fee.
Food – 5,888 THB
Food cost is normal as other months. I normally cook by myself for what bodybuilder should eat. On the other hand, restaurant and street food is far from my eating habit since i cannot control ingredients for body.
Housing – 7,600 THB
My rent is one bed room for low rise condominium.
Utility – 1,144 THB
| Electricity | 481 | (126 kWh used) |
| Water | 36 | (18/unit 2unit used) |
| Phone | 321 | 10Mbps Unlimited |
| Server | 306 | for blog |
I paid server fee for another year for my blog. Payment is one time for a year but I record here, divided into 12 months.
Others – 2,991 THB
| Credit card | 720 | Citi prestige card, M gen card |
| Laundry | 80 | 40THB/time |
| Transportation | 793 | Bangkok only |
| Hair cut | 300 | one time |
| Massage | 200 | |
| Entertainment | 398 | Soccer ticket 100 THB, 123 THB, 175 THB |
| Condolence | 500 | For office mate’s family funeral |
| Dental | (4,400) | Filling 900THB Root canal treatment 3,500THB (1st time) |
I started another root canal treatment for my tooth… this month. I have one more left for treatment so my cost will be counted in following months. My company support such medical fee up to 10,000 THB per year so I do not count this month cost as my expenditure.
Ok! that’s is all for my all expense for May, 2022. Cost total is quite normally amount for this month. I expect to have smaller cost in next month since I do not have any planned activities, just focus on my fitness training.
See ya!
