I’m in my early 20s & live my dream life in a marble flat after ditching the UK for Thailand – rent’s just £214 a MONTH

A YOUNG woman has revealed how she ditched the UK to move to Thailand and has no regrets.

Nicola Loucas, from the UK, took to social media to give a glimpse of her new life.

The 20-something-year-old revealed that not only was it super cheap, but she was also basically on holiday the entire time.

Nicola moved over to Thailand to visit her dream destinations and became an English teacher so she could afford to stay there.

She moved to Chiang Mai, a forested part of the country and hasn’t looked back.

To top it off, she revealed she paid just £214 a month for her lavish marble apartment.

She said: “Moving from the UK to Thailand in your early twenties and this is where you’ve just moved into for £214 a month.”

The stunning one-bedroom flat had marble floors and walls all over, adding a luxe feel that would cost a fortune in the UK.

Nicola’s bathroom featured a stunning waterfall shower and the flat came with a utility room as well.

The gorgeous king-sized bed sat in a massive bedroom kitted out with white marble floors and plenty of storage.

“12 months a year of sun, my dream job, very low cost of living, amazing people, culture and food AND I get to visit my dream destinations on my weekends/school holidays,” Nicola captioned the post.

“An absolute no brainer decision.”

Nicola admitted her salary wasn’t as high as in the UK but because the cost of living was so cheap in Thailand, she was actually better off.

“The cost of living here is way less than in the UK,” she explained.
