A one-bedroom apartment in the center of the Thai capital Bangkok will run you about $562 per month for rent. When you factor in utilities, that cost reaches more than $640. Other monthly costs are likely to add up to between $600 and $700 per month. Living outside of the city center could cut your rent to roughly $300 per month.

(No drinking and driving) 2 weeks ago, a friend in Pattaya introduced me to BOLT. I Installed the app, and my first impression was, much cheaper compared to Grab.
