How long will $40,000 last in Bangkok?

For a founder burning $4,000/month with about half of that fixed (subscriptions, debt, insurance), $40,000 lasts roughly 14.8 months in Bangkok — versus 10 months staying in the US. That's 4.8 extra months, a ×1.48 runway multiplier.

Is Bangkok cheaper than the US for a remote founder?

Bangkok's cost level runs about 36% of the US in this model, so the local slice of your burn shrinks accordingly. Fixed costs don't move, which is why the multiplier is ×1.48 rather than the raw price ratio.
