Qual'è il costo per vivere in Thailandia? Se ci andassi a vivere, quanto spenderei in paragone a Milano?
Ogni tanto vi presento tabelle sul costo di vita nel mondo. A volte si riferiscono ad indici generali che sintetizzano il costo di vita di ogni paese del mondo, come ad esempio nel post “Indice ONU sul costo della vita nel mondo” del 12/4/12 dove riporto la tabella delle Nazioni Unite.
In altri casi, come nel post “Costo della vita in Quebec” del 27/7/12, la tabella mette a confronto due specifiche città, facendo i paragoni sui prezzi di molti items divisi in 6 “categorie”: cibo, alloggio, vestuario, trasporti, cure personali e divertimenti, e naturalmente dà la differenza sul costo di vita totale tra le due città.


Eccovi quindi i prezzi ed il paragone del costo di vita tra Milano e Bangkok.
