Cost of living in Surat is 72.89% lower than in New York Our estimator (with default settings) estimate monthly expenses for a single person at 285.46$ (18,408.17Rs) and for four person family at 1,008.95$ (65,061.92Rs) (without rent).
It depends on what standard of living you are looking for, but if you can live and eat like the locals, then living costs will easily be half of the typical short-term traveller. Like I said in the post, my uncle rents a 3 bedroom house in Chiang Mai for $200. I doubt if his expenses are much more than $500 per month.
