Life Nomadic: How Much Does it Cost to Be a Nomad? {Gadling}

Mar 18th 2009 3:56AM Finding a home in Thailand is possible even if you don't speak the language - just be prepared to pay twice as much as you would pay if you were native/could speak the language.

Take Bangkok as an example. There are lots of ads on English websites for apartments costing around 8,000-10,000 baht/month - but hook up with a native instead and have him/her help you find an apartment that will cost around 4,000-5,000 baht/month (that's less than $150/month).
