I intend to be living in Viet Nam within the next 4 years when the kid finishes school.

 

But with that sort of income I'd live in Singapore.

 

Outside of Asia - Cyprus, Greece or Italy

with only US$260k income you can't obtain permission to live in Singapore. in Greece and Italy the taxman would claw nearly 50% of your income! back to reality please.

I might live in India or Cambodia. India has first-world hospitals. Cambodia has problems unless you have the funds to be airlifted to Singapore or Bangkok.

India has no retirement visa scheme.

Doesn't matter. Cannabis in all forms is currently illegal.

i'm aware of that. just wanted to draw the OP's attention to this fact as the overwhelming majority of buyers think or made believe by sellers the product contains THC.

In recent days, the increase of 32%, so whoever had before, he already earned something.

i think you need some help with percentage calculation and especially as far as the difference between plus and minus is concerned.

You say you use one a/c 24/7. And two a/c's 36/7.....there are only 24 hours in a day ! Why is your video & audio system on 24/7?

his video/audio systems are using some electricity in standby mode.

Bht 600 is 150 units a month at 4 Bht per unit. That's 5, yes 5 units a day. If you have an a/c on 8 hours every night cycling at say 500 watts average, that's 4 of your units. A floor fan takes 50 watts, fridge about the same, electric showers are 3kW, I think your meter is broken....ask for a new one !

Think your only pulling numbers outa your ass, you don't know any of the characteristics of the room, or the size of the unit, or any water heater usage, or any fridge details,you just like to write stuff for the hell of it. 

no mate, he is not. you are one of the typical posters in a dozen "how much for electricity?" who are pulling numbers out of their (_!_)

Government rate (about 4 Baht), 5-6,000 per month depending upon aircon and plant watering (3HP and 2HP pumps).

 

Wow!

4.5 Baht/kWh, 500 to 700 Baht a day depending on season.

One 9BTU air con takes 1200 watts (1.2 units) per hour. If "most of the time" were 12 hours, that's 1.2 x 12 x 30 x 4.08 = 1762. No fridge, telly, other a/c.

those were the [not so] good old days. a modern aircon 9,000btu/h draws only 800-850 watts.

I would think a horizontal one would be easier since you'd be lying on your back.

 

About the water, a filter for the incoming water is around 20k, I got one of those "Master" brand filters. Water in tank is pristine.

 

Never actually seen a horizontal tank. A stainless steel shop should be able to take a vertical one, weld the cap shut and make a new cap on the side.

there are a dozen companies in Thailand who produce horizontal tanks. but all commercial high volumes, i.e. 12,000 liters and more.

upright tanks can't be installed horizontal without a concrete bed supporting minimum half of the circumference to avoid collapsing.

Yes but are you sure that she is already not thinking about the new CLS just launched ?

the new CLS looks shitty²! it was my wife who pointed that out. i wonder what the Benz designers smoked or injected when spoiling a beautiful car design.

Our Lady Neighbour has one of those Huge Porche SUVs, to old to bother wit names n numbers, its like a great White Whale, a most hideous thing to me. Shes not though.

the most hideous thing is a Porsche Cayenne which is smaller than the most favoured SUVs in Thailand. by the way, some homes have "porches", the cars made in Zuffenhausen, Germany are called Porsche.

The other day, a middle aged Thai teacher who makes 50,000 THB asked me for a personal loan. Huh? ???? Can't he get money @ 1.x % apr?!? 

no he can't. don't assume but inform yourself about debit interest rates in Thailand.

unfortunately your question does not apply. we are nearly 14 years in Thailand and owned nine cars. the oldest car is my wife's CLS (4½ years).

the car is 4½ years old, battery change was after 3 years 9 months.

Do you remember if you change it every 2 years or 4 years ? AGM lasts 4 years at least, but I would like a confirmation that a standard battery will "die" faster ?

Thank you.
