I probably spend the same but get a lot more for it in Thailand but overall its a lot cheaper here than back in the UK.
2 bed condo in fairly central area of capital city Bangkok: 30,000 baht
For 30,000 baht (£600) in London I would be lucky to get a room in a shared house
I didn't have a car back home and don't have one here as taxis are cheap here.
Even going to a good Western restaurant here is cheaper than going to a good western restaurant back in the UK.
Electronics are more expensive here as you don't get the online deals and sales like you do in the UK. Most things in Thailand seem to sell at RRP although I hardly buy any electronics as condo comes with most stuff.
I had a maid/cleaner back home and have one here and although back home they were much better here they are much cheaper.
The think that makes Thailand cheaper is you can have a cheap week if you want and eat cheaply and not do much and still have nice food and maybe go to the cinema and only spend a few quid. Back home if you wanted a cheap week you'd be eating super noodles and sitting in the dark with the lights off!

Quick Tip: golf clothing companies, like adiddas, Nike, make moisture wicking, breathable, quick drying clothes that are perfect for thailands heat. Very light and comfortable. Cost more than 150 B, but wearing a soaked tee shirt around is no fun.
