泰國的生活生存指南 🌴：生活費版 💰 Thailand Survival Guide 🌴: Cost of Living Edition 💰
1. 租屋費用 🏠
我們住在一棟超過 3,000 平方呎的三房兩層別墅，每月租金約 38,000 泰銖（約 8,556 港元）。初來乍到時，被同鄉「熱情」地帶高了租金。其實，類似質素的別墅，租金大約在 25,000 至 30,000 泰銖（約 5,635 至 6,762 港元）之間。
建議：多比較、多詢問，避免成為「肥羊」。
1. Housing Costs 🏠
We currently live in a 3,000 sq. ft. three-bedroom, two-story villa, with a monthly rent of around THB 38,000 (approx. HKD 8,556). When we first arrived, we overpaid due to some "enthusiastic" fellow locals. In fact, similar villas typically cost around THB 25,000–30,000 (approx. HKD 5,635–6,762).
Tip: Compare prices and ask around to avoid overpaying.
2. 飲用水 💧
在泰國，自來水不可直接飲用，需購買瓶裝水。一般 1.5 升裝水，6 瓶約 55 泰銖（約 12 港元）。如果每天喝 3 瓶，每月花費約 825 泰銖（約 186 港元）。
2. Drinking Water 💧
In Thailand, tap water isn’t drinkable,
so bottled water is a necessity. A pack of six 1.5L bottles costs THB 55
(approx. HKD 12). If you drink three bottles a day, your monthly cost
would be around THB 825 (approx. HKD 186).
為了省錢，我們選擇購買 STIEBEL ELTRON 的 RO 濾水器，主機價格 10,490 泰銖（約 2,362 港元），濾芯每年成本如下：
To save money, we bought the STIEBEL ELTRON RO water filter, priced at
THB 10,490 (approx. HKD 2,362). The filter replacement costs are:
- SNOW DUAL FILTER：每 6 個月更換一次，1,650 泰銖（約 372 港元）
- SNOW RO FILTER：每 18 個月更換一次，2,750 泰銖（約 620 港元）
- SNOW DUAL FILTER: Replaced every 6 months, THB 1,650 (approx. HKD 372)
- SNOW RO FILTER: Replaced every 18 months, THB 2,750 (approx. HKD 620)
經計算，濾水器每日平均成本約 42.8 泰銖（約 9.64 港元）。非常划算，特別適合兩人或以上的家庭。
建議：即使是租屋族，也建議購買濾水器，更方便更經濟。
The total daily cost is around THB 42.8 (approx. HKD 9.64), making it a
cost-effective and convenient solution, especially for households with
two or more people.
Tip: Even renters should consider getting a water filter for better convenience and savings.
個人認為除了飲用水需要過濾，洗手台及花灑頭也需另外再裝一個過濾器
I personally believe that in addition to drinking water requiring filtration, it’s also necessary to install a separate filter for faucets and showerheads.
3. 餐飲費用 🍽️
- 外賣：兩人份約 300 至 400 泰銖（約 68 至 90 港元）；一人份約 150 至 250 泰銖（約 34 至 56 港元）。
- 餐廳用餐：較好的餐廳，兩人約 800 至 1,200 泰銖（約 181 至 271 港元）。
- 節省選擇：雞飯約 50 至 80 泰銖（約 11 至 18 港元）。
總結：餐飲開支可根據預算調整，豐儉由人。
- Takeout: Two-person portions cost around THB 300–400 (approx. HKD 68–90), while one-person portions are THB 150–250 (approx. HKD 34–56).
- Dining out: Better restaurants cost THB 800–1,200 for two people (approx. HKD 181–271).
- Budget options: A simple chicken rice meal costs just THB 50–80 (approx. HKD 11–18).
Summary: Dining expenses vary depending on your budget, from frugal to indulgent.
在泰國，外國進口產品都會有7%的進口稅，所以平常喝的牛奶及肉類等盡量選擇泰國產的，就會便宜很多。
In Thailand, imported products are subject to a 7% import tax, so for everyday items like milk and meat, it's best to choose Thai-made options, which are much cheaper.
一般可說，觀光區域或是環境比較好的餐廳，價錢都會比一般市區的路邊小攤貴，出發前可以參考google地圖的評論，也可以先看餐牌的價錢再決定是否值得一去，不過個人認為清邁的價格相比起曼谷及芭堤雅等大城市還是便宜很多。
In general, restaurants in tourist areas or those with a better environment tend to be more expensive than street stalls in the city. Before heading out, you can check reviews on Google Maps or look at the menu prices to decide if it's worth visiting. However, I personally think Chiang Mai’s prices are still much cheaper compared to big cities like Bangkok and Pattaya.
4. 電費 💡
由於經常開冷氣，我們每月電費約 3,500 至 4,000 泰銖（約 791 至 904 港元）。
好消息：即使如此，還是比香港便宜。
4. Electricity 💡
Since we frequently use air conditioning, our monthly electricity bill is about THB 3,500–4,000 (approx. HKD 791–904).
Good news: It’s still cheaper than in Hong Kong!
在泰國，不管有沒有蚊，晚上還是會有很多小飛蟲，我認為最少要買一個這種大型的滅蟲燈THB 799(HKD 180)。
In Thailand, whether there are mosquitoes or not, there will still be many small flying insects at night. I think it’s essential to have at least one of these large insect-killer lamps THB 799(HKD 180).
總結 💡
在泰國，租屋費 25,000 至 30,000 泰銖（約 5,635 至 6,762 港元），加上其他生活開支，總成本比香港低很多。
建議：提前規劃，根據需求選擇適合的生活方式。
Summary 💡
In Thailand, with rent at THB 25,000–30,000 (approx. HKD 5,635–6,762), plus other living expenses, the cost of living is much lower than in Hong Kong.
Tip: Plan ahead and choose a lifestyle that suits your needs.
