Its true enough in Thailand it can be less materilistic than the 'West' - but if you want a humble lifelstyle (Jimholio) - why Phuket? Phuket is one of the most expensive provinces in Thailand. Doing a course to learn to speak and read Thai would be prerequisit to living a 'local' lifestyle. To live on 20k/month would not be easy for most - in fact after you factor in visa runs, doctor/dentist bills - and other unforeseen costs then life would be less than ideal. Note too that 99% of TG's are likely to have asperations - she wont stick around long for nothing.
