Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to live in Saudi Arabia or Thailand?
It depends on the item and, crucially, on income. The table above shows dollar prices side by side, but the affordability captions (days or minutes of work) reveal which country's residents actually find each product cheaper relative to what they earn.
Are these official prices?
Yes. Every figure comes from a first-party source (Apple, Netflix, Spotify, The Economist, GlobalPetrolPrices) and World Bank income data, converted at current exchange rates.
