Nope. No rural life at all, apartment in the city; Big C, Tesco, Robinson are here. Lived on 20k for some years. It still can be done. But if you want more comfort, a good health insurance and enjoy western food and lots of traveling, 30 k is the least.
What you could do is to use say 800k and invest it in Crypto or stocks that promise high returns. You may double it or lose 80%, Everything is possible.😇
That's new for me too as I haven't notified Immigration for a while and never was fined. But this time the officer confirmed even just going to another province for the weekend triggers a TM 30. Because they would need to know the whereabouts of the foreigner as he / she might be up to no good.
Does "qualified" here mean meeting the specific requirements (like formal education and credentials) to be recognized as a legitimate or authorized teacher in Thailand? If so, that would mean that someone is not a teacher, even though they have a work permit for teaching and a teaching license from Khurusapa.
Very old thread but still the same answers are given these days. "Don't be a cheap Charlie." If you can't afford it, stay home." It's only...". Some people seem to have no idea that others are on a very low budget, and the "only £5" sums up quickly. Just my 5 Cents.
