That's 800 bht. One restaurant meal. Relax.

Not at all. It was in Exeter, not the cheapest part of the country either.

Just had a root canal and crown in the UK for £1500 about 66k bht

I agree with you except that there is no evidence for there being nothing 1 second before the bang. Everything from nothing? That's a belief.

Do you prefer the big bang story from an imaginary nothing?

Are you losing weight?

How dare they want to stay with their own kind. Where are the elderly Afghans and Syrians? And 25% of places should go to retired from social housing too.

I have the same requirements and I always end up Thailand south of Hua Hin as the best option. Bit nosey, but you've been earning relatively good money for years and living frugally. Where has all the money gone? Expensive coke habit? 🤣

Hmm, the UK, like Europe was once covered by forest with great biodiversity. It wasn't the Chinese that cut all the trees down.

Another place bites the dust. South east Asia is not what it used to be. I first arrived in 95 when the population was half what it is today. Average age was twenty years younger. Temps were two degrees cooler.Tourism was a trickle not a flood. No burning season that I remember. Most places were without traffic jams. Get away from the main spots and locals hadn't spoken to a foreigner before. Sorry it's off topic, the OP just made me sad.

Lived with a non Japanese wife in Japan. It would have been much easier if I had married a native. Dealing with government taxes, utilities, other problems much easier if one of you is fluent in the language/culture.

Lovely sunny story on a forum that specialises in dark clouds. How long together before you knew she was a keeper?

Subatomic particles don't have morality. Do you?

1980 average salary £25k pa (today's money) 2025 minimum wage £25k pa.

Good point.
