40,000 baht a month !! ....that's more than a Aussie old age pensioners live on IN Australia . If they can live on 20,000 baht a month in Australia after housing that's $950 AUD ,then I'm sure you can in Asia

It depends if you have Private health insurance, I pay $210 per month for HCF medical insurance I still had to pay a "gap" fee to the specialist but got in quicker because I was seeing him in his private rooms as opposed to the public hospitals clinic I saw 2 specialist this year at private hospital within a week,St Vincent private hospital as opposed to St Vincents public hospital

Tell me more about this Da Nang place in Vietnam? Is Hanoi cheap too ???

I have never heard of this ,and i have been out of Australia for months at a time

Where in Vietnam would this be ?

And I enjoy it and will certainly bend over forwards to help you out Ralfy

Not bad going

Crunchy or smooth ,that's the important question?

I don't like to take money

Flybird is walking distance of tukcom ,gym etc That Nirun is too far

Though ...if it had been the other way around and the taxi driver attacking the farang ...the apologists do gooders would of said the farang provoked him

Pie face shop in Sydney Australia pies are equivalent of 130 baht $6 ,you wanna pay $9 a pie at Tinnies up to you ! Not this little black duck !

Why would you need a 45k sofa? Even in my apartment in Australia I bought a secondhand one off Facebook equivalent of 3000 baht and free delivery

Heroin addiction is so 1970's 1980's This poor man doesn't deserve locking up He has a disease a sickness and needs counselling and medical help NOT punishment

I'm sure Ben you would know how to live on a lesser amount and please I don't mean that on a anti Semitic way it's just you are very frugal

Sadly the Philippines is the biggest loser not Thailand They have done NOTHING to attract tourists but PLEASE don't get me off topic we are talking about Thailand But as I said the Philippines has potential for tourism but as I said can you stop getting me off topic please !

I will have the 800k in the bank ,I have that ( around $35000) Just the income will be low ,I have budgeted for 20k a month I forgot I may have strata fees if I owned in the Flybird Condo in Pattaya

Your wrong Let me tell you why Imagine if I was on the Old age pension in the UK or Australia Ok just say I owned my own home there too I still would be living on the same money right? So what's the difference living say in Australia on $900 AUD a month and Pattaya/Philippines Asia/Thailand I'm sure there is a lot of Old age Aussie live on that as well as UK pensioners after their rent I am yet to hear from any Vietnam expats or Phillipinrs on here !

The problem with cooking your own food is your still using electricity I'm thinking just buy a microwave I forgot about phone internet etc How do you poor guys like me live without Air conditioning I remember I was in patts last April /May and it was a bloody heatwave

I will check out Chiang Mai in February though ,it may be worth checking if the costs are not high although I'm thinking they may be higher than Pattaya in regards to groceries, gym fees , The condo prices say 1 bedroom mY also he higher ,I will have to research

I prefer to be more or less in the city ,I don't like rural type areas especially if there is kangaroos etc around I am a city boy

I don't drink. I don't go to bars ,I like to go to bookshops like Canterbury tales I like to be in the city ,I don't like trees I once went into the countryside bush of Australia and had nightmares the trees were talking to me

Exactly,but I'm very poor.

I admit I haven't been to Chiang mai for about 12 years I don't think it was that cheap I will check out Chiang Mai on my next trip in February Do you think it's any cheaper than say Pattaya in regards to Gym , groceries , day to day expenses

I think it's called the OA visa As for health insurance,self insure and use the Australian system if needed
