Realistic Cost of Living in Hua Hin for Couples (2026 Retirement Budget)

Here’s exactly what a retired couple really spends living in Hua Hin in 2026.

Is Hua Hin still affordable for couples in 2026 — or has the cost of living in Thailand quietly increased more than people expected?

If you’re planning retirement in Thailand, watching with your partner, or seriously considering whether to retire in Hua Hin, this video breaks down the real monthly costs for a couple living a comfortable, realistic lifestyle — not backpacker living and not luxury either.

In this video, I walk you through a true-to-life Hua Hin couple budget for 2026, covering rent, utilities, food, transport, healthcare, insurance, social life, and everyday expenses. You’ll see where couples save money, where costs have increased, and whether Hua Hin still offers good value compared to Bangkok, Phuket, or other popular retirement destinations in Thailand.

Hua Hin continues to attract retirees and expats because it offers a calmer lifestyle, good infrastructure, modern condos, international food options, reliable hospitals, and easy access to Bangkok — without the chaos or high prices of major tourist hotspots.

By the end of this video, you’ll know:
• What a couple realistically spends per month in Hua Hin
• Why living as a couple reduces major costs like rent and utilities
• Whether Hua Hin still makes sense for long-term retirement in Thailand
• How this lifestyle compares to other areas of Thailand
