Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,380/month all-in living costs in Bangkok (about $700/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 74/100, internet 82/100, and visa difficulty rated "Easy". BTS and MRT save your life: The Skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) skip the legendary traffic. Get a Rabbit card. For everywhere else, Grab and Bolt are honest and air-conditioned. Avoid tuk-tuks except as one-time tourist tax. Thonglor and Ari for living: Thonglor (Sukhumvit Soi 55) is the polished nomad and expat zone with co-working and craft cocktails. Ari is hipper and cheaper, full of cafés and design hotels. Skip Khao San as a residence; it's for backpackers. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Bangkok city guide.

Street food is safer than you think: Eat where the queue is locals, since high turnover means fresh. Pad krapow, boat noodles, mango sticky rice, and som tam are the staples. Jay Fai for Michelin-star wok at street prices (queue 4 hours).
