They must be from Australia. Our dollar is a totally joke!!!! Lowest in 20 years :(((((((

 

It cost more to drink and party in Thailand than back in Australia now :((

I just came back from sukhumvit to Australia, Atleast in australia we have alot of bargains.

For examlple i had a burger, chips and a coke for 1$ yesterday here in brisbane, where as in bangkok the same meal is 7-8$.

thailand is a ripoff , Those bar girls are all greedy and scammy, Mostly out looking for the next rich guy to scheme on.

I came here because of CCCs new video.

One thing that bothers me is immigrants here in australia.

One indian who i met in the city came and befriended me for a couple days and on the third day asked me if i had a dollar for coffee as he didnt want to break a 50$ I sayed to him that i dont carry cash.

 He proceeded to ignore me from then on, like i some how offended him.

The west is good but we got all the entitled selfish scummy immigrants that go with it.

i would send em all home in 1 second if i could, What's wrong with there own country that they don't stay there ?

What if someone goes in 3 weeks time based on the free coffee.  Your time limit advice is pretty much useless!

A great post, indeed. We could meet this gentleman, invite him to a Mama and a big bottle of the best water 7 Eleven has to offer.

 

Including a plastic back for his waste, of course. 

 

   And then we could make a field trip to the best bars and establishments, chose our lady for the night (of course not shared) to make him understand what he's missing. 

Of course, will we buy him one more water when back on the road? 

 

 

  

 

  

i figured if i actually searched harder i could cut the budget to an all up amount of 300 THB including the room, even less, i could do it for 200 a day, that would require buying coffee in bulk from big c.

  searching the back sois for 1 baht reverse osmosis water and finding some ultra cheap thai omelette on rice too would slice the budget in half.

its very doable, my 250 THB budget is not even penny pinching at all compared to what i could save if i really wanted.

BTW I was staying in a hostel on sukhumvit for 100 THB per night so my full budget was 350THB per day.

There was a few  really hot bar girls in the dorm but they werent uninterested in a old alcoholic bum like me....

So very sorry to hear. My worst nightmare. Waking up in the morning, and having to count every baht I spend. My life would essentially be over. For me, not much joy in that. I guess to each his own.

I want to be like this, i enjoy living on the cheap, Thais actually trat me better when they know theres no money to ripoff, I meet genuine thais this way ,Not ones pretending to be my friends for money.

Good post, could you live cheaper say in Pattaya ?

Anything's possible, But for now i think Bangkok is a better option.

Pattaya would take a higher level of self control, Here in bangkok I prefer to be a little bit poor , It helps control urges.

#METOOMAFIA killed him.

 mental health world wide is getting worse, Especially young white straight males.

Build a playground for the kids in the village, if you live in one or go to the local hospital and donate to them, equipment or upgrades to the kiddies ward etc are always welcome.

 

Don't forget to put the donation on a big novelty check and put on Facebook for everybody to see.

Be careful that you don't upset the wrong people.

Doing something good is obviously good. But if some influential locals don't like what you do because you upset how things work then you won't only make friends. Be careful and think 

Would he go around the poorer schools in the UK and volunteer ?

if not then why do it here?

Thai food is better than loas, cambodia ,Myanmar and Philippine food.

Philipines food was horrid, I went to a party and they served rancid pork and i got sick for weeks, Cambodians are very sweet people and make the thais look cold hearted in comparison, to bad there beer is poison.

I find it amusing ( and sad) that it appears so many posters seem to acquaint a life less boring with the availability of women, and the cost of alcohol

What ever happened to being a descent human, and treating all with respect, I see very little respect expressed towards women and their contribution to community and their partners.

 

The is so much more to living in a country than the  availability of women and alcohol, try  culture, food, art, environment,  contributing to the community in which you live.

 

I wonder how many of the posters would be alone if they returned to their countries of origin.

 

Whose fault is that?

Agreed, one of the problems about banging bar girls, you can never go back, other women just aren't that interesting in bed. Not only that, but bar girls give much better 'feelings of love' and 'feelings of being special' than the women that really claim to love you from home.

But it's only Thai girls hookers that can do this, they are so much better at faking it than anyone else I've ever met. One of the repeated posts that come up in this forum 'would you do that with a hooker in your own country?' Of course you wouldn't, in fact after sampling Thai hookers, I wouldn't do that with any woman from my home country.

And if I could go back in time, I would undo all the relationships I had with 'respectable women' in my home country (all ultimately unsatisfactory), and just save myself (and my money) for Thai hookers.

Best advice I've heard in my entire life, Really puts things into perspective.
