Really? I live very comfortably in Stockholm (a very expensive place) with 1500 EUR. How on earth would you need 4000 EUR in Bangkok?

4000 EUR is very comfortable living.

- ~800 EUR for a nice 1-br condo in a central location - ~100 EUR el./internet/tv/3g - ~100 EUR for transport (these motorbike taxis and bts rides are adding up). - ~150 EUR for co-work membership.

= 1150 EUR fix per month.

Now with the rest you can go eat and drink. 100 EUR = big nightout, 50 EUR dinner and drinks, 20 EUR low-key dinner with drinks, 4-10 EUR just dinner outside.

Add another few 100 EUR for a visa run every once in a while.

Also don't forget that you're likely still paying for some stuff back home, insurances, etc.
