Just a little tiff.

How many no-confidence debates can happen under one mandate period? No laws against that? ????????

You are obviously not into your fragrances - Stick with the soap & water ????

And you are obviously obsessed. Help, "I can´t find my favorite brands". "I bring 35 bottles of aftershave with me". Really???

I wait for about five years between viewings, and then I watch ICE STORM once again

Yep, that´s one way to make sure the library of movies never ends.

Do a boat/ ship's engine oil change and dump the old oil overboard could be one reason.

Yes, it can! But why would it be a Thai doing it to their own water and coast line? Usually it is foreign boats that loads off their stuff into other territories. Easier to get away with that.

great expectations

Considering the lack of tourists it would appear Thai made ! 

 

My wife however would see that rubbish as recycling money

The rubbish can come from anywhere, drifting in the sea. I find it hard to understand why they also would mix the garbage with oil.

Yes, you are more than entitled to your opinion . But your opinion reaches out to absurdity when you quote a income of 6 times a average Thai wage . 

If you have so much income go and live amongst the wealthy in the first world . Then you would be in harmony with your neighbours .

What? Do you think most people come to Thailand with a small amount of money and monthly income? That is as wrong as it can be. Most of us have over 65k per month as retired. And that is still very small. Here it´s only the ones complaining you hear about. The other 75 - 85 % of all expats in Thailand are doing good.

Then, the average salary in Thailand is between 75k - 100k. Low income is average about 25k and the high average is above 400k per month.

3000 baht? Umm no. 

1000 baht or free

Yes, it was you that asked if they were ugly. ????

Now you do not have so many options. You had a good one before. That was to handle your papers in time. You have the advice Ubon joe gave earlier. Other options is go home or overstay and finally try to learn something at the university before they catch you and deport you. ????

Are the women more ugly there?

No, but you have to choose. Guest house 7 days x 350 per night or a woman 1 day for 3k. Pick your poison.

I have no pain . We both live on the same world yet we have both a different idea on how we shall live our life .

Try not to condemn people that have a different opinion than your good self

Didn´t condemn anybody at all. What I said is that I can feel your pain, that you according to my must have everyday. Good for you if you not have. After that I just posted my reason for living here, and that my eyes looks at under 60k as madness. That´s an opinion and not condemning.

Had to live on less earlier . But i am versatile and a survivor 

Thanks! I can feel your pain. I do not move to another country just to be a survivor. That´s pure madness in my world.

Oh yeah Elon . Life is what you make it 

Yes , one of the reasons i moved here was the cost of living .

 

Yeah, I got that. I am happy to hear you got it down to the bare minimum. ????????????

That all depends on where you live in Thailand, Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai certainly but up country in Issaan, half that easily

It also depends on what life you wish to create for yourself.

When I considered relocating to Thailand the calculations said that after receiving all my pensions I would have in the order of 90K THB per month, after arrival the government then moved the age for my private pension (from 50 to 55 hence used savings for 5 years) and my state pension (from 65 to 66) along with other changes to the scheme which means that I am no longer entitled to a full pension, approx. 24% less.

Aligned with the drop in exchange rates since arriving here I am now expecting to have less than 55K THB per month.

That my friend is reality.

Yes, it is! It´s also sad to hear the system changes in such negative ways. However, you did right to calculate with the need of 90. That´s why you have 55 now. Think about a person that would start with what you have now. They would only get 30. That why I state a high number, because it creates safety.

Reality for most foreign pensioners living in Thailand . 

Manageable to live on 15000 a month if you own your home . 

You appear to be the one out of touch with reality 

Oh Yeah, Baby! ???? I was was actually talking about a life. Not getting by scraping it through. That´s not why you relocate, is it?

You’re assuming his pension is his only income

Yes, I am, hence the problem with some currency movements. However, it might not be. In that case I will guess savings, that will not last enough long time. Otherwise no need to worry, right?

Too many people do the big mistake of putting their trust into big dreams of air. Just doesn´t work in the long run.
