  2. I could stay at your house Brian?
  3. I think they may have those cheap Thai food carts around there , does anyone live in flybird condo in Pattaya here ?
  4. Simply because you don't know Brian either I got $100 for 2173 baht I think it was How much would 100baht be in Australian? I'm thinking it's about $4.50 ? Anyone know
  5. Yes Brian , first time I have been to a balloon party with my new found poverty ,I too was surprised But the owner took a disdain to me by not only drinking the free water but because of the black balloons , that's a bit racist isn't I said
  6. Oh finally in get a truthful honest poster as yourself without those rose tinted glasses Yes a pair of thongs and I do mean the feet ones are not $5 in Australia,but want 150-200 B in Thailand please
  7. Do you guys chase balloon parties? Do you enjoy them ? As I have written recently I have become very poor with and the Australian vs Thai baht sinking and my lowly paid janitor job I have now resorted to chasing the balloon parties in bars and last night stumbled upon a bar with balloons Met the farang owner who said they were having a benefit night for some guy can't remember his name ,"back kicks ?" Backticks ? ... something back ,not that I care but I had to put my fantastic acting skills on all in the name of getting freebies ! Yes ! I said to the owner let's help out old Back kicks as we all lined up for our food ,what a great bloke I said to the other old farangs not even knowing who back kicks licks ticks or whatever his name was Here's three cheers for" Back kicks" they shouted as I scoffed into the free food and ....water ....yes alcohol wasn't free ! I think they were fund raising for someone but what a great bloke I shouted...backkicks I ended up by myself near the door after several stopped talking to me after I told them it seems a bit racist only using black balloons and not to mention colours as it's now not PC Now to get out without donating money ,(yes they had a bucket ) I pretended to get a phone call which I went outside for then bolted up the streets!
  8. Yes today I will visit two new doctor clinics I noticed there is a new one now in Jomtien , opposite the complex area Beautiful looking white & blue colours I took a picture
  9. Yes thankyou Terry , I appreciate your insights into my behaviour Is there any other ways I can save money ,I'm a poor janitor from Australia working for a Government department that pays very low wages ,I'm a poor public servant ,we don't even get retirement benefits in Australia unlike the USA
  10. Could I perhaps ask you kindly not to change the topic please ,that's all I ask , surely thats not too much to ask
  11. Yes well beggars cant be choosers so I thankyou for your generosity You could take me to a bar and we could talk about how you can change and appreciate the World's cultural diversity,and stop your transphobic & Islamophobia thankyou for your service Sir
  12. Thankyou for sympathy You could always donate me a few drinks in a bar
  13. I have heard the Outback of Australia is more expensive, no I think I will have to start living like an old backpacker ,buses to airport from Pattaya , hostels as rooms ,maybe even someone here will lend me their room It's the working poor like me who can't afford these prices of inflation. Many of us in Australia as janitor are working for less than $5 an hour we are the working poor with no retirement benefits, I will end up an old sex worker with a beer bottle laying outside the Nirun Condo's at 7am in the morning wearing a Chang singlet !!!
  14. Well as there is a lot of people with indian background who work with me ,I'm thinking India They seem to go there on our $5 hourly rate sometimes twice a year ,! Yes I have had to change I found 40 baht second hand t shirts at Soi bukhao market And....I went to a buffet and when they wernt looking I quickly put the food in a container in my bag ,take it home for later !
  15. Oh don't be so judgemental.
  16. No your right ...Definitely not ! $5 is $5 and I'm very poor ,that's my hourly rate ! Sundays I get $7 an hour though And no retirement benefits ! I was thinking a part time job in Boyztown to make up for it ,I have write to my HR department to ask for a reference I will have to stay in the flybird condo it looks like .
  17. The farang doctor charges 1000 baht
  18. Jomtien ,21.73 tonight
  19. Blood tests are free in Australia Can go to Medicare doctors also free
  20. Excellent point But...I'm thinking inflation had caught up to Thailand,times change ,prices change $$10 for a pair of sandals I can get in Kmart for $5; This year Australians WILL Not be going to Thailand I can assure you ,they will go to Bali or Vietnam ( the new Bali) You have lost Australians blame it on yourself
  21. Yes I get you. You must apologise to them and wish them well in their future endeavours
  22. Shocked tonight to cash my Australian dollars to get a lousy 21.73 , 2173 baht $100 Can someone please calculate maybe a mathematical expert how much is 100 baht in AUD please ! Now I have been advised by another visitor in my hotel to go to Vietnam that's where he is moving to Please how do you Australian expats survive on old age pension here when prices here in Thailand are comparable to Australian prices after the exchange I paid nearly $6 for a 6 inch subway ,same price in Australia Gone are the days of buying cheap shoes and clothing here in Thailand Nearly $5 for a pair of thongs and I don't mean underwear! Please ! The thongs that go on your feet Is Vietnam cheaper,I still have 3 weeks to go on my work leave , I feel like I should go back to Australia where it's cheaper .what an expensive place How do you afford to retire you guys who only have a small Government pension ??
  23. I do know that ! And thankyou for your service !
