The days of cheap SEA are over (1 Viewer)

[younglivinglife]

Places in SEA have gotten more expensive, the days where you can just rent a penthouse and live a good lifestyle for 1-1.5k are simply over, in some places its even cheaper to stay in Europe or Australia (if you have accomodation in Australia)

I know a older guy that lives in Australia that told me everything is cheaper and better in AU.

It has gotten incredibly expensive for its value especially places like Manila as far as I have heard and tried, even though many of accomodations are vacant and there is a 7 YEAR backlog of unsold apartments.

Places like Bangkok were never live like a king for 1.5K USD. Anyone who tells you that are selling you dreams. 1.5K USD a month for Chiang Mai is decent as that was my budget for CM and this was during the ~2015. Bangkok you can easily spend 3K USD a month easy and the sky is the limit. But the value for money would be better than the Anglosphere.

[EEmaxxer]

I was just there last December/January. Love going there with a +1 to the escape the Eastern European winter colds.

 

[14passport]

Yes and no, if you live a simple and chill life, similar to locals, its extremely cheap compared to the west

if you want to live a western live and flexx, its same price or even more expensive
clubs and rooftops are more expensive than back in Europe
some guys end up paying in Bali 1k$ for a room in a villa
western food is very expensive, fine dining
gyms are more expensive too
co-working and all that bullshit

This is objectively not true

 

[younglivinglife]

This is objectively not true

That's what he told me, compared to Philippines (like food) if you have accomodation
But he lives very cheap

bali is the epitome of this and turned into a 24/7 traffic jam poophole filled with npcs because of it

All right I'm only basing it off the old guy which he lives at the Perth and leaves very cheap maybe take rice and sometimes meet and doesn't have any expensive hobbies he said it's beds less than in Philippines but in Philippines he used to tax you a lot and eat out three times a week I mean a day

Most of my time was in Perth, family is there, this is actually still an insane statement, that old fucker must be retarded. Also flights to SEA are usually cheapest from there out of all the major cities, bali is literally a few bucks, thats why so many FIFO dudes live there.

That's the same guy that's keep sending money and won't break up with the girl and his dating someone 30 years younger so yeah I think he's just leaves like a very boring life for the rice and walks or bike

What's fifo?

 

[Friar Tuck]

What's fifo?

Fly in fly out.

People who are paid to fly into countries and do quite difficult but well paid temp work. Oil riggs/mines etc but they don't have any long stay visa or residency.

Oh actually I met people like that.

Met a guy in hostel makes 10k a month pounds doing some construction stuff 12-15 hour shifts but spends all the money travelling.

 

[FoidGrabber]

Another Bangkok=SEA ahh post

 

[FoidGrabber]

even if Thailand=SEA, easily live in Hua hin on 1.5k even 1k, I’m sure even cheaper the more south you go into weird small towns. Chiang Mai is 1.5k.
2k, you can live even in the edge of Bangkok if you go digging for. 250/month (studio) I met a guy living like this. 1k/month is possibly in Bangkok still just uncomfortable not a glamorous life. He was living on 750/month gymcel.

Outside Thailand:
Penang 1.5k (but Malaysia shit for girls), Jakarta kinda same maybe 2k comfy, but 1k/1.5k is possible. My friend had a nice 1 bed for 400/month. Cambodia same, Vietnam a nice 1 bedroom can be as low as 300 usd/month.

Man typical fucking Bangkok+bali=SEA kind of post JFL.

Do you know what kind of work he was doing exactly?
No way it was manual labor for a foreign construction company for that much money per month lol

 

[FoidGrabber]

Oh yeah let’s not forget like all of PH besides Manila… 1k-1.5k easy…

The truth is no one really goes to SEA to live like a local. They go there to get an advantage over the locals, afterall that is what this whole forum is about. If you are on that 1.5K USD budget in BKK, you will be mostly dating LTBs and MTBs like that dude Fred Bundy Nightlife. If you are cool with that, have at it. Of course, if you are like a HTN+ or HTN and tall, then your SMV will carry you to date the hotter girls. Otherwise, you are gonna get outcompeted by others on that budget.

Man you cope too much with lifestylemaxxing. Girls are gonna cheat on you with better looking guys who live in slum dorms. Be aware.

Thats exactly my point thats almost Europe level its 2k up easily in manila unless you live in small condo its almost Europe level prices if you dont live in big cities or find a good accomodation

Even he left Thailand and moved to Philippines as he said he got bored of it. Or it got different...

many guys do go there to live the life they can't in the west, and flexx on everyone how cool they are for having money and being white
while all the girls they get are bottom of society they need to pay for
which usually are the most offputting guys to any high value asian woman

but that's just a specific group that goes there

there's many that want to live a simple life, that have retired with not that much money or arent making american salaries

and yeah obviously if your plan is spending lots of $$$ to get hotter women, then you're gonna need a much higher budget

I made £1000k last a month in Bangkok, how’s it expensive?

Just buy ur food in bulk and cook it yoursel or get a girl too, saves a fuck ton

Most of that is because i only ate around 1800-2000 cals a day.

How do you even spend 3k in BKK on what?

I suppose most of the being on rent, on a overpriced apartment

i was out pretty much everyday and spent 1-1.2k max, monthly.


But all i do is eat, go club, meet girls and go study

it's not that hard to spend 3k, and 3k is low for the lifestyle a lot of guys try to live

apartment in one of the expat areas, one of the cool buildings/overpriced as fuck, you are now easily at 1k$+ month
never cook at home, always order food, western food, fine dining, food delivery and they are often covering 100% of expenses of their gf/date
rooftops, clubs, alcohol, weed, invite women to drinks and VIP/tables
uber everywhere
allowance, p4p, betabuxxing, covering all the expenses of an expensive gf

but in general you can make 1k$ ish last for a month easily
get your 400-500$ condo
cook at home or stick to cheaper local places
use BTS, instead of ubering everywhere
chill, focus on gym
have a small rotation of good girls instead of having to pay for 1st dates every time
if you have a high enough SMV, they will be happy to chill at your place, or do some cheaper dates, even covering many of the costs

1000 isn't enough unfortunately if something goes wrong or prices go up. That's what you can live here in Europe

Wtf are you doing?


How isn’t enough? if rent is £500-600?

if you take into account everything... not just rent, food, dates and transportation
flights back home, vacations, clothes, medical insurance, new electronics...

im not taking account flights as im strictly saving £ for living here.

Insurance is gay.


Also, Imagine paying for dates…

I did 1k easy, went on a “date” pretty much everyday too..

honestly, if i could get the women that fred bundy dude got there (checked out his channel) and they're nice and not a pain to be around i would take that any day of the week man. this 'high value' fixation adds nothing to my life imo. but it's personal preference i guess

mason is GL he wouldn't need to trick or invite girls to rooftop

I can see how he could make 1k work

 

[masonfrancis]

Bruh…

is he wrong tho?

Your apartment or where you take her doesn’t matter

And if it does, it’s JESTERING….

 

[FoidGrabber]

In fact the more you give to a girl usually the less she respects you in most cases, especially if shes above the survival instinct (basically all 1st world and even a lot of modern 3rd world). Imagine it from the foids perspective, especially if she's not innocent a virgin or whatever, wow look how much he thinks I'm worth! He keeps giving and giving I'm better than him! He doesn't wanna lose me! And as far as the apartment goes, women don't even really understand money (unless they are ruthless goldiggers) and don't think of something like this. Wow I can really extract some money from this guy! Is what she thinks not what us men think like "wow he's so cool to own such an apartment blablalba".
