I want to retire early, so I moved my family to Thailand to save money. Take a look inside our $1,200 family home in Bangkok.
Our apartment is close to Bangkok's public transportation.
The apartment is within walking distance to Terminal 21, a large mall, numerous coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and healthcare facilities.
Bangkok is quite the city that never sleeps, and you can find many places that are open 24/7.
The apartment is just under 3,000 square feet with a comfortable living room and a balcony overlooking the pool.
The building and apartment are pet-friendly, so we brought our two cats with us. The building installed netting on the balconies so that the cats can spend time outside.
There is a nice-sized kitchen with a balcony — which houses our washer and dryer.
The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, a gas stove, and plenty of counter space. Conveniently, a washer and dryer are on a small, netted balcony right outside the kitchen.
We're very happy with our new family home, especially since it's saving us money.
I'm not sure whether we'll stay in this apartment for all five years of our visa, but we're very happy with it right now.
The apartment has more space than anticipated, it's close to everything we need, and the building staff has been incredible.
We made the right move for our family, and we've accelerated our journey toward financial independence by increasing the amount we're saving.
