Living cheap is great. I am a minimalist myself to a certain extent. But living on $300 a month is not "five stars." Let's not fool ourselves.

In California for $300 a month you can sleep in a cardboard box under a bridge. Not a fun place to be in the winter. There is no question that Thailand is better on a budget.

Actually in California where winters r a joke as being around 60-70 degree F, you can live at $100 a month, can get most meals from trash bins which in the real world is equivalent, nutrition wise to anyone eating at McDonalds or KFC. Only problem is 20% of that $100 goes to the endless yearly for life taxes. Or they will take you from that cardboard box & throw you in prison to die.

We can presume you have a link to back this up?

If not, it is wild eyed speculation on your part.

The link is called intelligence based on over & over & over decades of witnessed experience. The stupid doe-eyed people otherwise know as human cows will watch every election as if it's the first, forgetting previous BS, every bill for education, infrastructure, rights, raised taxes will be seen also as the first as those so many stupid Americans forget the lies from the past & think different when nothing ever changes in country where government is so unbelievably fat with greed & power.

Got 83 today, anything you reply to in this crap app automatically becomes a subscription & no where in settings can you turn it off. I just went thru my subscriptions & individually turned each off as well as this one, but know doubt I'm replying here will automatically re activate it. These are subscriptions which you can but have to manually turn off, it's the newsletters that don't show up here but pop up in your email that never go away.

People with Wiki are people without thought....reply thoughts not copy & paste

My biggest mistake I've made, was creating an account with ThaiVisa using my main account... Thus can never unsubscribe

Wasn't right decision. No one should be allowed to place their own countries' values over one they visit! Really tiring how one measures their country to another without respecting the values of the country their visiting. Any attitude against says, "you the opposer, are the Bigot"

Why is this even a "chat", it's like watching a repetitive game show. Anyone over age 40 (educated or street wise) knows it's a fake...same stuff all the time but forever a looming facade over a dumbing populace.

Each emailed newsletter has a link at the bottom you can select to unsubscribe from the service, since the newsletter can be subscribed individually, separately from your ThaiVisa member account, using the same or different email address. The link should be the easiest.

Otherwise I suggest you send an email to: support @ thaivisa . com

List your issue (wanting to unsubscribe), and include your member name and the email address(es) you've used to subscribe to the service.

Yes & each time I select "unsubscribe", I get double the SPAM from this website.

Even supposedly healthy soft drinks,

Oshie Green Tea with honey and lemon 880ml 10% fructose + 5% sugar = 120gm sugar = 17 teaspoons of sugar.

Is that not overstating it a bit for the Oshie ?

Fructose 9.5%, Sugar 5%

Note

They cheat the serving sizes, 1 bottle = 4 servings.

100 Kcal/serving.

Wow that is extreme, and yes I saw it that they used serving sizes so its 440 cal your calculation was off just a bit but not much. That bottle is a complete meal

Please don't quote me...you're an idiot.

Was referring to formaldehyde being used in Thai beers. German beers are awesome, Thais generally in business have no concern about life, only money & face (lies). Live in Thailand full time, you will see.

Was wondering the op...imagining a fat unsociable nomad in Nana. Viewing Thailand from that one perspective...thus another idiot left to find, "how to live poor & still be happy".

Doing the move early next year, but wise to avoid all Thai moving companies as they are all corrupt. I will bring my main computer transports as checked & the rest through either DHL, UPS or FEDx as they are all insured & sent special agent (3rd party thru Thailand). Gotta remember these private companies here in Thailand do not have to fulfill (& many don't) their contracts/Insurance with foreigners. However International companies do. Siam-Movers looks familiar, the worst & most corruption Thai movers are those who 1. Have Farrangs on their website & 2. A fully literate English speaking Thai on the other side. Dealt with moving companies for 5 major moves (30-40k ea), inside country all Thai, outside, all your homeland with a major international shipping service.

I know at least a dozen retirees here in Chiang Mai who have worked with Siam Move Management and been very happy. They're people who have come to Chiang Mai for a short visit to check it out for retirement, decided it was for them, met with Alan Dick the western owner of the company and then returned to their home countries to sell off their unneeded stuff and kept in touch with him about moving over the rest. None of them have been sorry.

Conversely, Hubby and I were very sorry when we worked with a firm near our home in the U.S. that promised door-to-door service and did a great job of packing our delicate items and making arrangements with DHL. But that's where it ended. With our goods held by DHL at the airport in Chiang Mai and the news from customs that the paperwork was all wrong. In the end we had to hire a Chiang Mai agent (this was before we knew Alan) to straighten out the mess, at considerable expense. It would have been good if the firm in the U.S. had known what was required of the paperwork while they were doing such a great job of packing and working with DHL.

Whatever floats your advertisement, personally I was quite screwed by them...only dealt with the English speaking Thai boss. All my furniture was damaged & they denied having to pay any insurance claims. Guessing you're an advocate for the company...a weasel, a cheat, a liar. This forum is to help foreigners, not line your pockets.

Late reply, I know but had to comment on the OP...cheap piece of existence as he is to complain about paying what! 1-2 dollars to enter a national park! Christ! Go home!

Cheers Islam!

Drugs r exactly as they r & an encouragement to cooking/smuggling. Her sentence was Just to the country & really quite light to illegal drug handlers as no outsiders can justify their beliefs/matters over an outside country. Personally, I would've had the person hanged.

In Thailand, think better cut out ALL Thai alcoholic drinks as the chemicals used to speed up the brewing process are very bad for most health & or metabolisms...then look at what they put in the food & later the pesticides used on the vegetables. Thailand has no oversight.

Just saying if people or this Thread is referring to living in Thailand.

But they're still obligated to pay the insurance for items lost. Still never had a loss of at least an item sent USPS/DHL/FEDx to my Issan, Bangkok or Krab addresses of all being Insured, to not make it. Some areas, like Udon (as mafia as it is, is the only one I've been forced to give a bribe)...will hold in Customs waiting for their "bribe" payout, but not all & thus you get what you sent.

So unsubscribe doesn't work, just results in double the amount of unwanted emails, housing, newsletters, dailies of Thailand BS. No way for it to end...

Usually wouldn't bother, but this post seems useless...why? Marco, you are a knob!

Sounds about right in a Bangkok condo close to the BTS. Bangkok costs is equivalent to Los Angeles Wilshire district costs in city center. Bloody expensive with half the quality of whatever you buy & less warranty. Health insurance for "a white foreign" is very expensive here, as is anything he/she likes that is imported. 2 countries of the most racist, prejudiced, greedy in all Asia, think Thailand over China.

Well we have a religious zealot here...I move that all Christians shall be burned for being the cause to all problems in the world. Afterwards, someone please discard the gay Pope.

But easier to get a social media guy to post a SPAM URL

Is this made up? Maybe an excuse for people to marry or go with young women? (2-3 times their age) Issan, like Thailand is not a poor 3rd world country. Isaan has a more filling culture, great food (not to mention, more healthily & fresh) than the middle & south.

Unfortunately in this country only the name (brand) needs to be imported, many items...electronics, fruits, nuts, clothing made in Thailand is sold at imported prices. Beef like other western likes as in coffee, etc., doesn't matter if import but made expensive because foreigners like it. Bottom line, Thailand is no different than China when it comes to squeezing the western foreigner for every last penny.
