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, refreshed on 14 September 2026 — seventeen entries in total now, 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.
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. A follow-up check on 14 September 2026, made by working outward through RentHub's own “nearby listings” links from the buildings already known to this page, surfaced four buildings not previously named here: Nattnicha Place, Korakan Dormitory, a Kheha Yasothon townhouse and the Boonsiri 2 residential building. The floor is still about ฿1,500 in Loeng Nok Tha, though Boonsiri 2 now undercuts everything else actually inside the town at ฿1,600. The ceiling has moved: Nattnicha Place's VIP room advertises at ฿7,500, half again above the ฿5,000 top we had previously recorded. See the rental market guide for lease terms and what to ask on the phone.

| JS Residence — Samran, Mueang Yasothon | ฿2,000–4,500/mo | Listed on BOTH portals; 2 floors, 40 rooms, ~20sqm |

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)
| Item | Indicative price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Meal, local restaurant or market stall | ฿40–60 | Indicative small-town Isaan benchmark, not Yasothon-specific data |
| Meal for two, the better restaurants in town | ฿300–500 | There is no fine-dining tier here to push the top end up |
| Café coffee | ฿40–60 | A small café scene exists in the old town; not a nomad-café market |
| Local beer (small, at a shop) | ฿45–70 | Shop prices; bar mark-ups are modest in a town this size |
Transport, connectivity & everyday (indicative)
| Item | Indicative price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (1 litre) | ฿35–45 | National pump range — a vehicle is unavoidable outside the town centre |
| Mobile plan (calls + data) | ฿300–500/mo | AIS, TrueMove H and dtac all have provincial coverage |
| Home broadband (fibre) | ฿450–800/mo | Fibre is available in the town; confirm coverage for a specific address |
| Samlo or motorbike-taxi trip in town | ฿20–50 | Samlo cycle rickshaws serve the centre; tuk-tuks are prohibited in it |
| Round trip to Ubon Ratchathani by bus | Varies by operator | 100km 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 seventeen advertised buildings province-wide, an average would be a worse answer than the list. One stale 2018 listing, one hotel taking monthly bookings, or one newly-surfaced ฿7,500 VIP room 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 across the two rental portals we reached in August 2026, refreshed with a further check on 14 September 2026, is named in the table, with its asking price and how recently the listing was touched, because roughly half the original 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 ฿15,000–27,000 a month — rent at ฿1,500–7,500 depending on the room, 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 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. It does have higher education, which we previously said it did not: a Buddhist university college and two vocational colleges awarding bachelor's degrees. But those degrees are mostly read part-time or as top-ups by people who already live and work in the province, so they generate almost no student housing demand — there is no campus rental market here of the kind Ubon Ratchathani or Mahasarakham has. Rents are set by local salaries at the technical college, the hospital and the government offices, not by outside money. The one sign of any upward pressure at all is Nattnicha Place's ฿7,500 VIP room, found in September 2026 — evidence that a very small higher-spec tier exists, not that the market as a whole has moved.
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.
