Most of these guys are retired so it is much different than if you need to work. However, many more are working remotely on a foreign salary and living very well with lower costs.

Precisely. Not everyone is the same. Some people just can't get over the fact that they are living there and not on holiday. They drink everyday and think they can spend more because things are. Eventually, they live beyond their means and need to go home where there are less temptations and they are forced to spend less.

I think you could live on the cheap in any expensive city, but the quality of life will not be the same.

Use Grab but don't do pickup in the front.

You didn’t read? It was supposed to be paper waste that would be used to make recycled paper. The contractual agreement was no more than 1% garbage. Who’s fault is it? Who knows? The sender “accidentally” sending garbage or the receiver getting paid to receive said garbage and got caught? Or a scheme by both to ship garbage?

Living somewhere is not the same as being on holiday. There is a different mentality. Know one goes to bars everyday back home. Maybe 1-2 times a week at best! Going to googo bars would be like an occasional strip club at home. I don’t do that more than once every couple of months. Inflation is everywhere. It is why local people to a country are looking to move to a cheaper country to stretch out their dollars (partly driving up prices where they land). So yes, 50k is doable unless you are a local living on a local salary in which case, you would be looking to move to a cheaper country than your own. Most expats (with foreign income stream) should be fine with the weak baht offsetting some of the inflation.
