do you want to know how easy it is to get 800k baht?  if I were evil, I could just declare to the authorities in the usa that I was disabled and could not work anymore.  find a doctor to confirm my disability.  and the rest is history.  I know many people doing this. the government gave this one guy over 20k dollars upfront. and apologized to him saying they wrongly didn't give him the disability years ago.   I still remember this guy I met in san francisco telling me he was able to convince the authorities that he was allergic to dust.  and he received enough disability to support his life style in san francisco.

I seriously have no idea what your talking about

Yep, ready.

Don't kid yourself, rumor has it the Indians have moved on and up from this as Ozzie's, brits are adopting this fine cost cutting solution

Haven't read the whole thread so can someone confirm its about a middle aged man who can no longer afford to live in Thailand and went back to the UK to be saved by Mommy whilst still posting on TV 24/7 and slagging of the kingdom?

I hope its not true but I fear it maybe...

most of the expats I know have the money to live in thailand.  EVEN put up the 800k baht in a thai bank.  they just don't want to do that.

Its always been 800k.Did they just wake up one day and all you're buddies just changed their minds at the same time?

Makes no sense. Truth is they woke up one day to the rather awful news their own embassy pulled the rug and the house of cards came crashing down...and that's EXACTLY what happened!

I looked for places in the usa where I could live on a thousand dollars a month.  didn't find many places that equal the standard of living I have in southeast asia.  I don't know anything about west virginia.  but let me ask you this, can you rent a furnished studio apartment that goes for month to month for less than 200 dollars?

With fleas cockroaches, mould, a concrete mattress, Thai cardboard furniture, a TV from 1980, and a vinyl lounge with a squeaky ceiling fan?

errrm no that domain is reserved for the poorest of expats right here who after the visa crackdown are packing bags thankfully

This was just in the Bangkok Post:

 

”

Once best known for crashing and sparking the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the baht is today seen as a haven by global investors. A trade surplus and annual foreign tourism receipts exceeding $60 billion underpin its resilience.

 

The currency has appreciated more than 6% against the dollar so far in 2019, the best performer in a basket of Asian economies tracked by Bloomberg.

 

It’s likely to stay resilient, said Masakatsu Fukaya, an emerging-market currency trader at Mizuho Bank in Tokyo. There could be more upward pressure if firms relocate production to Thailand to skirt US tariffs on China-made products, according to Fukaya.”

What does he know? did he even consult our TV well connected bar stool boys regarding men in black propping up the baht? nope didn't think so

was there the day he met his future wife at one the Go Go's on Soi Cowboy.

That thing worked in soi cowboy? I wouldn't pay her to cut my toenails

Why do poster's keep talking about reversals when the Aud is clearly in a downtrend and heading to 15 bht its historical low and could take years to get there and no guarantees it will hold

Situation is dire with oz pensions hitting new lows every single month and now nearly

half of the minimum 65k Visa requirements (35k)

what Ozzie on a pension alone can afford health insurance on that? none of them can even afford retirement extension and yet keep kidding themselves how amazing their lives are here lol how is that possible?

The line has been crossed now and Thailand is no longer has any major advantage compared to oz

Its a mistake but I can understand it, just yesterday in my condo somebody was grabbing the door handle and trying to force a key. The look on the dudes face was of shock when I opened the door...yep wrong room

reedom of speech comes with a level of responsibility all too frequently ignored in the UK Tabloids. 

Read a recent article showing Harry's growing bald patch and they blamed the stress of taking on Megan was the cause. Unbelievable

"So 10 litre casks of castle creek selling at 1300 baht 2 years ago and are now only 3litres ."

 

No idea what this means.

 

"And your actually tracking wines that have dropped 100 baht?"

 

Since I'm a regular purchaser of those wines I've been following them inadvertently, yes.  I may be off a few baht, but the prices are definitely lower from a year ago.

 

"Even if it's true why even bother? You still havnt posted a link with Price slashes..no hurry but please do"

 

Can't be arsed, and I doubt retailers bother providing such statistics.  No skin off my back if you feel it's BS.

 

10 liter casks have been replaced with 3 liter casks but at the same price... are you drunk? its easy to comprehend

so your just another internet dude making false statements  put up a link or move on brother because no wines "" have dropped substantially!!! "

wine cellar (the one at emquartier).  

villa (rama 3 branch).

foodland (patpong branch), for "cheap" imports.  

 

I regularly buy wyndham merlot, as an example of an aussie wine, for around 600 THB a week ago.  A year ago this was closer to 700 THB just after the tax increase.  Castle Creek Dry White (not an aussie wine but another regular), is down around 1,600 THB, down from closer to 1,800 THB a year ago just after the tax increase. 

 

You'll note that these prices are lower than from the past year after the tax increase.  As for cheap wine (those under say 500 THB a bottle), I've not made any claims.  I'm talking about price changes, not overall cheapness.  

So 10 litre casks of castle creek selling at 1300 baht 2 years ago and are now only 3litres .

And your actually tracking wines that have dropped 100 baht?

Even if it's true why even bother? You still havnt posted a link with Price slashes..no hurry but please do

Vietnam has far more law and order than Thailand. So does Malaysia. Cambodia and Burma, what can one say? Laos? But, they are trying harder, and they are not nearly as arrogant and ignorant as the Thai officials and army. Few are. 

Absolutely 100% not true. Both Vietnam and Cambodia being true 3rd world <deleted>holes are full of desperate men who's only source of income is snatching bags and will stab you without hesitation in broad daylight. Good luck getting treatment for a stroke or car accident in those 2, your insurance if your in the 5% that actually have it will send you back to Bangkok

Malaysia is 20 million Muslims still practising sharia law.. inbred folk with wing nut ears 3 inch thick glasses...Alalh ahkbarrrrrrrrr let us know when you move
