Cost of Living in Nakhon Ratchasima

People
- People are generally friendly
- Not too many scams like BKK
- Scams are low here because the city doesn't have the same attractions like BKK
- Never ran in to a Digital Nomad here like Chiang Mai

Language
- English level is very low
- If they can speak a little bit of English the people are shy to use it
- Languages that you can use to get by are Thai, Cambodian and Lao

Health
- Hospitals have long line ups throughout the day.
- Locals go in the morning to take a number, when their time slot is coming up they go back to the hospital and wait
- The wait is long to get served in the hospital it takes almost a whole day of waiting
- Private is better but cost more

Dental
- Good dental care is cheap and affordable
- Wait time is short, most of the time there is no wait time
- some dentist can speak English because they studied in the US
- Hard to find a good one (language barrier)

Food
- Cheaper to eat out than cook at home
- Eating out is cheap as long as you stick to places where locals go (outdoor stalls or sidewalk restaurants)
- Regular restaurants in malls and outside can add up over time. (not including food courts in malls they are cheap)
- If you want to cook the best places to buy food are the fresh markets and wet markets in terms of price.
- Stores like Tesco and Big C are cheap but again in the long run it adds up.

Attractions
- Not too many places to visit here
- If you have a car you can go to Buriram to see the historical places like Phanom Rung and other ruins

WiFi
- A lot of free wifi in the malls and hotels
- Hotel wifi - some are good and some are very bad even if it's a higher end hotel wifi can be bad
- Mall wifi is fine - connects most of the time and sometimes it cuts off - the speed is okay
- I found in general wifi allover the kingdom is pretty much the same in terms of speed and sustained connection
