Total cost – 28,503 THB

Fitness4,911
Travel5,969

Housing7,600
Utilities1,144
Others2,991
Total28,503

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

Gym2,90014 months for 16,800THB, 1200THB/month
Personal training 2 times (800THB/session)

Protein1,21050lbs (9kg) Whey protein pay for 10 months
Supplement801Vitamin 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

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

Electricity481(126 kWh used)
Water36(18/unit  2unit used)

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

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!
