100Baht a day in Chiang Mai... is it possible?

[DrAndy]

this thread is all about living in CM on B100 a day (not including rent, women, coffees or anything else that might make your life more pleasant)

possible, but why would you want to?

Well if you live in Thailand and eat Thai food its not pang and its tastes very good , why come and live here and live on farang food that tastes shit .

Most Thai food bought on the street is shit as it's made with shit ingredients.

I presume by 'farang food' you mean the rest of world cuisine? Most of it is infinitely better than the crap they eat here, so yes, I'm happy eating crappy Greek, Indian, Lebanese, Italian, Mexican, German, French, Japanese and English food.

well, I too am happy to eat all the Western food if it is good

The challenge should not be eating for 100 bt per day. It's easy (however mundane) to achieve and remain healthy.

The challenge should be can you live off 200bt per day, starting skint, everything included, and somehow end up with a motorsi, as so many Thais manage to do.

You are so wrong. Actually I'm kinda stunned how clueless you seem to be. Tourist food in Thailand is low grade at best. Local Thai street food is on par if not better than anywhere else in the world. Street food in bkk famous for its quality. Perhaps one of the few cities in the world with such notoriety.

While I wouldn't want to have to eat on 100 Baht a day, I found the video very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly. Like India. Ingredients are shit because they are cheap. At the end of my street they sell every dish (that costs a tenner) in the west yet it is watered down, and the cuts of meat are around 50bt a kilo (chicken feet/intestines/general shit cuts.)

what a freakin' tool this guy is. 100 thb/day but you stay in a 2000 thb/night room

Why would anyone want to live like this?

I live in Chiang Mai, I live on "0" Baht per day - except for 6 bottles of Chang.

[Luvdared]

Utterly miserable way to live, but some seem to prefer it to back home, which must have been bleak.

Some people are funny.
Why would anybody want to live like that?
Then again, it might come in handy if you lost your wallet or rolled; I suppose

[DrAndy]

I think if you are living on B100 a day, it would not be out of choice
