For 2k$ you can live a quite nice life in thailand. Why say very simple?

Well, I suppose it depends on what people would consider simple.
I live in a small apartment and spend my days enjoying the food and sunshine down by the beach.

Yeah, you are not wrong.
Apartment is about $400 a month, food is probably $600-$750 depending on what you are eating. It can be much cheaper than that but I eat out every day and eat a lot off foreign food.
A all day fishing trip, which I like to do from time to time, might cost around $100.

You can easily cut the costs for food to around $200

I think you are getting farang prices if you spend that much

You are probably right, however I do enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant and a glass of wine quite regularly.

You earned it and if that's in your budget, who am I to judge or decide

Enjoy the sunshine boss! 💫
