EVENKEEL

Sizzler salads are OK now and again. If I lived in town and was single I can see making it more of a regular thing. The kid and I usually eat at one of the noodle joints. If old lady comes along we hit up the buffet joints, usually 600 baht each. The food courts are usually crowded with no seating. Not my favorite place to eat. I wouldn't bother having steak at Sizzler. I feel if you want a good steak you have to be willing to pay premium money. The buffet joints have great cut of beef as long as you don't mind cooking in broth.

Do you even live in Thailand?

You say corruption, here it's just business as usual. Pretty much any business transaction requires a bit of greasing palms.

I use the same method for monthly deposit extension. I think about it, not real concerned. Will change to US bank if hassled and perhaps start using an agent for extension.

Old lady buys shrimp and crab from beach vendor fresh off the boat.

How's the harley?

Money goes easily when you don't budget. And I'm at a stage in life where I want to enjoy. But, I hear what you're saying about Thai families. You know if the kid needs clothes I toss the old lady 5K for the market. And so on. There's always something. Phones, ipads, service 2 cars.

My 110K baht/month deposit is spent pretty easily. 2 adults and a kid. The money doesn't include travel, school fees or insurance. No house or car payments. I spend freely and stopped trying to budget to much. A monthly trip to Makro is 12K easily. Some months I try to put 20K aside, but doesn't happen often. If I was single I'd be living large on 110K. But, with family not so much. Eating out usually means a seafood joint on the beach 1200-1500 baht for 3. I eat the 60 baht meals occasionally but not often, cook at home alot.

It's possible low testosterone individuals might hold such a view.

How very original.

It's good entertainment.

I bought a wifi box for TV I have movies still in theater. All TV series. Sports. Well worth the 2300 baht

Yeah Bob's a perv alright .

That's part of the problem.

Better than old men riding those electric 3 wheelers.

Haven't been there since we dropped anchor.

At this very moment I'm sitting in a First Class Airport lounge awaiting my flight. Enjoy your sponge cake.

It's more interesting than sponge cake. Now get a life.

I agree but my 1200 takes up less space than a bathtub with wheels that's so popular.

Mrs Smith says you don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. Now come get her.

They're like 2 peas in a pod. Both are drunken muchers.

Would you please stop by and take back Mrs Smith. Fun's over.

Try reading the post I replied to.

Are you drunk? East Timor was location in discussion.
