Cost of living in Yasothon

One of the cheapest provinces we cover — and one of the thinnest for data. Rather than average a handful of listings into a fake benchmark, we have named every advertised rent we could find and shown you how old each listing is.

Read this first: Yasothon has no BAANLYY-verified rent index and effectively no published cost-of-living dataset. The rent table below is the complete set of advertised buildings we found on the two rental portals we could reach on 19 August 2026 — thirteen entries, of which several had not been updated in years. They are asking prices, not transacted rents. The food and transport tables are indicative small-town Isaan benchmarks, not Yasothon-specific measurements, and are labelled as such. Confirm everything directly before you commit money.

01

Rent — every advertised building we found

This is not a sample. It is the whole advertised market as far as we could see it: fifteen of RentHub's seventeen Yasothon entries sat in Mueang Yasothon district, one in Maha Chana Chai, and Hongpak added a handful more in the low band — with JS Residence appearing on both portals, so the two are not independent inventories. The floor is about ฿1,500 in Loeng Nok Tha; the ceiling is about ฿5,000 in the town. See the rental market guide for lease terms and what to ask on the phone.

Banpak Putai — Loeng Nok Tha district฿1,500–2,300/moJun 2021 — the cheapest advertised rent in the province

Utilities are almost always charged separately in this kind of building — electricity at a per-unit rate set by the landlord, water at a flat monthly rate. Budget roughly ฿800–2,500/month on top depending on air-conditioning use; that is an indicative regional figure, not a Yasothon measurement.

Food & dining (indicative regional benchmarks)

ItemIndicative priceNote
Meal, local restaurant or market stall฿40–60Indicative small-town Isaan benchmark, not Yasothon-specific data
Meal for two, the better restaurants in town฿300–500There is no fine-dining tier here to push the top end up
Café coffee฿40–60A small café scene exists in the old town; not a nomad-café market
Local beer (small, at a shop)฿45–70Shop prices; bar mark-ups are modest in a town this size
03

Transport, connectivity & everyday (indicative)

ItemIndicative priceNote
Petrol (1 litre)฿35–45National pump range — a vehicle is unavoidable outside the town centre
Mobile plan (calls + data)฿300–500/moAIS, TrueMove H and dtac all have provincial coverage
Home broadband (fibre)฿450–800/moFibre is available in the town; confirm coverage for a specific address

Round trip to Ubon Ratchathani by busVaries by operator100km each way on Route 23 — the nearest airport, rail and mall

Yasothon has no railway station, no airport and no mass transit — a motorbike or car is the practical default for anyone outside the walkable town centre, consistent with the getting-around guide.

Why we list the raw data instead of an average

With thirteen advertised buildings province-wide, an average would be a worse answer than the list. One stale 2018 listing or one hotel taking monthly bookings would move a headline number by hundreds of baht, and you would have no way to see it. So the table above names each building, its asking price and how old the listing is, and leaves the judgement to you. As BAANLYY verifies Yasothon buildings and rents directly, this page will cite those instead — and will say clearly which figures are verified and which are still advertised asking prices.

Frequently asked

Is there reliable cost-of-living data for Yasothon?For rent, partly — and we have published all of it above rather than averaging it into a single number. Every advertised building we could find on the two rental portals we reached in August 2026 is named in the table, with its asking price and how recently the listing was touched, because roughly half the set had not been updated since 2019 or earlier. For food, transport and utilities there is effectively no Yasothon-specific published data at all, so those tables are honest indicative small-town Isaan benchmarks, clearly labelled as such. We would rather show you the raw thinness than manufacture precision.
How much does it cost to live in Yasothon per month?For a single long-stayer renting one of the advertised rooms, a realistic all-in budget is broadly ฿15,000–25,000 a month — rent at ฿1,500–5,000, food eaten locally, and a motorbike. That is a directional estimate built up from the advertised rents plus regional benchmarks, not a surveyed figure. The number moves most on whether you run a car, how often you drive to Ubon Ratchathani, and whether you need private healthcare.
Why is Yasothon so cheap?Because there is almost no demand pressure. Yasothon has no university, no airport, no railway, no mall and no tourist or expat premium — it is an administrative and agricultural province whose capital serves about 21,000 people. Rents are set by local salaries at the technical college, the hospital and the government offices, not by outside money.
What's the biggest cost driver in Yasothon?Transport and healthcare, not rent. Rent here is genuinely low and does not vary much. What varies is whether you need a vehicle (you almost certainly do outside the town centre, since there is no mass transit of any kind) and how often you have to make the 100km trip to Ubon Ratchathani for the airport, the railway, a mall or complex hospital care.
How does Yasothon compare to Ubon Ratchathani for cost of living?Directionally cheaper across housing and everyday costs, because Ubon is a real regional city with a university, an airport and a rental market to match. But the comparison cuts both ways: plenty of what Ubon residents pay for locally, Yasothon residents pay for in fuel and driving time. We present this as directional — we have no verified side-by-side dataset for the two provinces.
