Put it this way, if you're the sort of guy to spend 100 quid+ on a night out a night out in the UK, then you're likely to be spending 6,500 baht+ a night here.
Going through what would be my minimal expenses to live enjoyably here I would guess at;
15,000 Baht - Rent
2,500 Baht - UBC
1,000 Baht - Internet
2,500 Baht - Laundry
2,000 Baht - Electricity
9,000 Baht - Food (300 baht a day)
2,000 Baht - Visa runs and staying in the country expenses
1,000 Baht - Medical (without any emergencies)
3,000 Baht - Transport (Motorbike & Gas)
1,000 Baht - Clothing
2,000 Baht - Cigarettes
1,000 Baht - Water
-----------
42,000 Baht a month just for basic living
leaves you 23,000 baht a month for going out, beer money and ladies.
Assume going out 3.5 times per week with a lady once a week, leaves you with about 1,000 baht a night going out money.
IMO that is JUST doable but not too much fun and doesn't include any trips, sightseeing etc...
When I first moved here with completely paid for accomodation, internet, electricity, car, laundry, maid (lol) etc... I was doing easy 50k baht a month just on going out, not including women really as I wasn't that much of a mongerer. I'm not a big spender either, not many nights out here when I've spent more than say 3-4k baht.
