Thailand’s large cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai have modern infrastructure with consistent power, and fast fiber internet. The cost of living is considerably lower than many large, developed cities across the globe.
A good place to start is www.numbeo.com. This website has a search tool where you can compare the cost of living of different cities across the globe.
If you’d like to see examples of long term rentals, there are many rental Facebook groups that involve the name of the city you are looking at, and “rentals”, “houses”, “for rent” or other appropriate terms. If you are relocating with pets this will narrow your housing options considerably, but it is possible to find a place with your cat or dog.
Food costs vary widely depending on if you are looking for local groceries and restaurants that serve food made from local ingredients or if you are looking for food made from imported ingredients.
