Writer's picture: samidhasamidha

Excluding school fees, international families often inquire about the living expenses in various Southeast Asian education hubs. To address this, we've curated a practical chart comparing these costs here! All figures are in USD and are based on the assumption of two individuals—a parent and a teenage child—residing in a 2-bedroom apartment with a moderate lifestyle.


It's important to note that this data isn't entirely scientific; some prices are estimations drawn from personal experiences of residing, working, and traveling in these locations, while others were gathered from online sources and discussions with friends and family. Nevertheless, they offer a rough estimate of living expenses in these areas.



*For Singapore, the car costs are not including other taxes or the Certificate of Ownership. For Chiang Mai, the car compared is a Honda Civic. For Kuala Lumpur and Penang, the mobile plan compared with is 90 GB.
