Y'all need to consider the OP, sitting on 1M Super, but asking about 20k a month budget. Along with where to live, 3 different places this week, I think. Can I live on 'this much' threads are getting old ... maybe 10 or 15 a year, once a month. Own everything, single person, so it's very doable, and think we can agree on that. IF, of course you have no health issues, and an oops fund, as health ins won't be included in that budget, I don't think. What kind of life that is, a bit of a question, depending on variables. We own everything, and our monthly budget averaged ฿16,300 a month. Slight advantage, having Solar. And we eat very good, 95% in house, if not more, and mostly homemade whole foods. Which makes a huge difference.

We actually do quite well on 20k a month, but we are all bought in, w/solar also, and that saves about 5k a month. Without being bought in, owning everything, then 10k for rent & utilities, that allows about 300 a day for food, so eating good shouldn't be problem. BUT ... that's about it. A decent survival. Anyone thinking about that life, stay home and enjoy your safety net, when you have an oops. But OP is rich, so he shouldn't have any problem.

You can modify them with anything you want, toys, gimbal & cameras. That's was the fun part for me. Modified one to land & take off in water. Even had a waterproof camera on the bottom at one point. Add lights for night time flying ... Pick a holiday ... Luke, I am your father ...

One of my little DIY, and plenty of range, as you lose sight of it, it's so small... Slow Mo ... so you can see it ...

There was a link for info 🙄 But it's a straight up toy, and no worries about the range, as the wind will take it. Fun little thing, considering the price point ... TOY You can buy performance 'Whoops" as they are called, for a few 100 $$$ & up. People race them. Vid below ... The one next to it, as noted, DIY, and fitted a camera to it, hence the arch for protection if having an oops. Could even fly FPV, linked to my googles.

Buy one of these, drives my nuts dog I have a couple and gave some to my nephews. And for everyone, if you can fly the little green thing indoors on high speed, without crashing, or the dog getting, then you can operate any drone. Excellent learning quad, before dumping 100s of $$$ into something you can't handle. Never underestimate the amount of smiles little toys bring ... 😎 Size doesn't always matter ...

Excellent choice ❤️ Neo ... no need to go backwards

Did you read the OP ??? ... "Can you live on 20,000 baht per month if you own your own home /condo" So yes, we (2) live on <17k a month. And as ' I ' stated, ' I ' could easily live on 20k a month, even if renting & no transport. As the OP stated, single, and not wanting transport. A little reading comprehension goes a long way ... With the OP's 1M super, he'll have not prob. I really don't reply to his posts, unless of course, I think someone, as ignorant, would benefit from a reply

Did state "Udon Thani city vs Pattaya ?" Guessing to avoid the need to own transport. Both have decent baht bus system for getting around, though unless really lazy, don't really need, as both very walkable, unless shopping.

I saw that vid this early AM, when I woke up (3 AM 🙄) and amazed more people haven't died yet On RTnews, so didn't post. Also on X if wanting to peek.

With TEMU, you have to make sure it is actually TEMU, as more than a few fake TEMU sites that I've noticed lately, especially on FB. Bookmark the real one, so not duped into a fake one. Wife has ordered a couple things, and they were as described 👍

You mean, you don't use the tampon machine in the men's room now

Yes, sad some are just realizing how the possible ... IMHO ...'gene therapy' drug they allowed to get injected into them, may have serious consequences now and in the future. Changing the definition of 'vaccine' and calling it a vaccine, doesn't change that it was nothing more than a 'possible' ... IMHO ... gene therapy drug. mRNA therapy & RNA gene therapy is a play on word semantics.... IMHO ... One injected to allow the body to develop changes, the other 'RNA' injected to directly cause a change. Some folks, as reported (do a google) want the mRNA to be classified as gene therapy. Corruption rules ... IMHO It's 'safe & effective' ... really, oh yea and It's not a gene therapy ... really, you can trust us

Udon Thani, now CM ... so no desire to have fresh-ish air to breath half the year ?

Why would they compete against other men, defeats the whole purpose of competing against women, so they might have a chance to win. As far as restrooms go, they all should actually be unisex, and monitored. Actually don't even need to be 'rooms', and could simply be a line of stalls in public ... with good exhaust fans 😎 The whole concept of restrooms is a bit outdated. Even sports should be unisex, although it would be dominated by men. Do we really need to know who the strongest or fastest woman is. With few exceptions, women's sports fail to attract any money. Tennis & golf is about it. Women's B-ball, really ... does anyone really watch that, or women's football/soccer. There's a reason the pay sucks compared to men's sports.

Nah ... have very basic house. Don't think anyone is impressed with our MG ZS or Deco scooter, as inexpensive transport. I dress for comfort, short, collared shirt (made by wife, her label) & sandals. Pretty unimpressive, except for my handsome smile. Stay off the radar of the career criminals who look for wealthy idiots flashing their bling

That's my 'unscientific' guide for degradation, with the MG ZS. Although I think I'll have the check the SoH at the 40k kms check up. Might be a while, as we're not racking them up like we used to. Past 2 months, I don't even think we put 1000 kms on it.

One needs to damage it ASAP, so it's below the SoH level, before the warranty is up, so they replace it for free

IF you own your own residence, then yes, quite easy, and we do in now, on about 17k a month. Without owning, I could do it on 20k, but it wouldn't be a life I'd probably enjoy. I need a nice car, and to travel O&A. Living in a rented box condo, or even a townhouse, doesn't appeal to me, as I need my perks. Rent & utilities for someplace comfy would take up too much income, and wouldn't leave much for munching. Probably wouldn't appreciate living in an urban environment. Any health issues, and 20k wouldn't be enough.

Why they smartly kept him out of the campaign trail in 2020. It's hard to believe he actually won that election, but don't care, as stated many times, worked out a treat for me If they would have done the same for Harris, what little she did campaign, she might have had a half way decent chance of winning. But the word salads were too much to ignore

Send recipe ??? This is the one I follow, sort of... To speed it up, you can use ground pork, or last batch I make, I minced tenderloin to paste like, and added gelatin, since not having corn meal / polenta. Actually worked pretty good. Next batch, IF doing same, I'll need to adjust the seasonings, adding more, as I went a little light, since last time I did it without corn meal, I used the amount of salt in recipe, forgetting no water or corn meal, so it was way over salted. Actually couldn't eat it, and wife added it to her sausage/meatball mix, that diluted the salt content and was OK. Now I don't add salt at all, and put on after pan frying it

I used all open source resources for my DIY drone building, when it was cheaper & better to build your own. Now they are better and inexpensive just to buy. Did take all the fun out of out, and even the wife noticed, I enjoyed building them, more than operating them. An addicting hobby. Even those open source sites aren't updated, as not used much now. I haven't built one in so long, I probably couldn't. As the software to do, was on an older laptop, that died long ago. Forget how to program the flight controller or GPS modules. Retired my DIY drones anyway, ran out of batteries, and can't trust any vendors for new ones. Damn expensive also, as can buy a drone for the price of a battery now.

I used GeoCities, they stopped after Yahoo bought it ... that really sucked, as had a lot on it WebShots is another, went subscription, thankfully in my early days of photography here, so not much lost, and I probably have back up somewhere, on a hard drive I have VHS diving vids, that I never converted to digital. No major loss, as not like I'd watching them over & over, or show to people ... the dreaded home movie syndrome of decades past. Local forum in Udon Thani, most of used a free photo upload service, and they went belly up, or major server crash, so all photos on the forum lost access to ... oops I lost trust in just about everything
