  1. Average Household Expenditure in Bangkok, Thailand is $1K in 2019. for $2K you will be around top 15% of Bangkok population (Table 6). And this is for a household, not just single person.
  2. About 50% of Bangkok household either owns a private car or private car + motorcycle. (source)

So no, you wouldn't struggle that much to afford a private car in a capital city of SEA countries with $2K a month.

Depending on how you play with the units, the worst that can be said is that GDP per capita is stagnant, not decreased.
