Is Bangkok really becoming the least affordable city in the world for renters and young people? In this episode, we break down the rising cost of living in Bangkok, from housing prices and transportation to food delivery habits and the impact of tourism and foreign money. Earn and I discuss what daily life actually costs for Thai locals compared to foreigners, why prices for street food and rent have jumped so quickly, and how income levels in Thailand simply don’t match today’s expenses. We also react to the recent international report claiming that Bangkok now ranks as the least affordable city for renters worldwide, surpassing cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York. Is the report accurate or is there more to the story?
