Perhaps if considering prime Bangkok and including optional expenses, 90th may be right.
No doubt this is looking at the best areas for expats assigned here for large corporations.

As a tourist, the place is full of anomalies. A visit to Starbucks costs more than in London. Yet in Sukhumvit, I had a fine meal for just 40 baht. Getting there on the MRT cost just 21 baht & no doubt the bus would have been half that.

A room in a perfectly satisfactory hotel like the Baan Som Ski 3 can be had for just over 1200.
