A Recent Study on Expats Living in Thailand
Another study in Thailand focused on the expats and their alcohol use and abuse. This study also asked various expats why they consumed alcohol. Nearly all said because alcohol was widely available, especially in the environments that they hung out it in, and it helped keep them occupied. When the expats were asked how much money did they approximately spend per month on alcohol, their answers were varied. Some claimed to spend up to 30,000 baht per month while others said between 2,000 and 5,000 baht. More research needs to be done on expats living in Thailand before conclusive results can be made.
