What are you talking? It exists in many forms. Have you ever had someone peel your grapes for you? Wash your hair by hand by bringing a bowl of warm water and shampoo whilst you are your dinner after work, then give you a foot massage? These are ‘western’ women, not Asian. No money involved. Where was the transaction?

What kind of job is that? ????

You create it for yourself to a certain extent. This is why I challenge your thinking from time to time. When you suggest that everything is bad and no one can be trusted. Now transpose that into a place where you are surrounded by snakes; liars and deceivers etc. Contrast that with a place where everyone is kind, does their best, trusts each other… If you can create and live in the latter, you are closer to heaven. Don’t give up on good. Good doesn’t mean perfect. You just have to be good and kind. I believe that you are.

I don’t ‘want’ what I cannot afford. Not even if you were an attractive girl. You don’t seem at all attractive anyway.

Are you cheap, Bob?

I’m becoming concerned as to your state of health. You are referring to this ‘law’ again and again, but in an extremely narrow context. In your case; money. The existence of other inducements appears totally alien to your thinking. Therefore you are unable to create and sustain these alternative situations. A case in point: Your insistence that you don’t want a woman for love, but only sex. Since most women can obtain sex quite easily, you’ll need to offer something more than that for her to have sex with you regularly and exclusively. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is sailing on that ship. Others may choose a different path, rather than just choosing a woman for sex.

Nothing to do with the generations nor being ‘old skool’. In every family you’ll have some who are mean and some who are generous; some whom are good with money and some who are not. Some who are open and some who are closed.

It’s the company you keep. In addition, you have a substantial regular income or a lump sum that might be sufficient to see you through to a ripe old age. Something that a large proportion of the populace can only dream. Instead, many are likely borrowing from Peter in order to pay Paul. A stressful existence, far away from the peace of mind that having a stable income can bring. A hungry lion is far more dangerous than one that has already eaten. Add in the ‘wife/girlfriend as a pet’ syndrome; wherein you take on a woman you can ‘afford’, rather than one with a suitable character.

If you can see yourself being satisfied with an up to 10Mbps connection and if AIS really is the only game in your village, then take a look at GoMo(powered by AIS): https://gomo.th/package You’ll need to register it under your partner’s details. 99 baht for a one year basic pack with an monthly fee of 149 baht for the Unlimited 10 Mbps pack.

You missed out on the AIS unlimited options. Your only chance to get one now is if someone gifts you one of their existing SIM cards. DTAC and NT share infrastructure. Truemove H SIM is 50 baht or less to be able to test. I’m guessing that you refer to the MR-600

One bedroom within 15k entirely possible. Look beyond tiny new builds and you can find spacious apartments within that budget. When I was looking, I was offered 110 sq. m. for considerably less. Though wasn’t impressed with their electricity unit cost.

Childish nonsense. You are nothing better than a Troll. You ignore the fact that the communities used to live in peace, until one side decided that they wanted to dominate and used terrorism to achieve their goals. Before you blather on with more of your nonsense with regard to Muslims, have you ever been to Morocco or other countries where Jews and Muslims live together in peace? This is a MANUFACTURED problem and there is a lot more to it than your febrile brain could ever imagine. For sure you will come back with an absolutely facile reply. I won’t be taking part further in this discussion as I know it won’t change a thing.

The man is a dangerous idiot.

Read it this time… and I can confirm that it’s the same interminable waffle from an ‘armchair expert’ seemingly frightened of his own shadow. Reality is the people who are actually doing it. You are just waffling on about how you IMAGINE that others are living and presenting your imagination as reality. What a ???? Grow up, discard your diapers and allow yourself to grow a pair. Real life, not just your imagination. Nowhere in the OP is it written that his friend has no other assets than the stated 60k income. So your tedious rambling is again just a product of your limited imagination. The OP asked for places where a 60k budget would afford a good life. The question has been answered by some. ‘Armchair experts’ can waffle on as much as they like. “Tenured expats” are exactly the people I have described. You are not one of them, yet you waffle on as if you know something. You do not. You only imagine how much you need for YOUR lifestyle.

To be fair, there are a fair amount of ‘Boomers’ here who struggle with any kind of communication. Smartphone cannot be blamed for that. The good thing about forums such as these is that it brings some of these people out into the open, for better or for worse.

How about, as a Pattaya resident, contributing to the discussion with regard to the 60k budget?

That doesn’t mean it was reported that year ???? It takes a while to build a reputation. I think you are just being obtuse. If one of your erstwhile colleagues ‘outs’ you on camera, it’s not because you have erred just once. We know some might get away with that kind of behaviour for very many years, even when known by people in the industry and even when reported. But certain characters will defend them to the very end. QED.

Do you ever have anything intelligent to post, rather than sneering childlike idiocy? Do you actually have something to contribute to this thread? Since you are actually living in Pattaya, why don’t you provide an actual breakdown of your costs. You don’t because you don’t appear to have any kind of ‘normal’ life at all. Normal people go shopping, exercise, make normal friends. Cook for themselves. Explore the region. Not just hanging around the centre complaining about ‘bikies’ and not wanting to carry groceries in the heat’. You don’t have a any kind of life at all. So instead, you hang around the forum making snarky comments. Make yourself useful and post YOUR budget.

I didn’t even bother to read what looked like a large amount of waffle. I know A LOT of people who have survived very nicely on such a budget for very many years. That’s real life,rather than speculative waffle. It’s not that they don’t have more to spend. One particular acquaintance drove a Porsche at home, but that was their monthly spend in Thailand. So instead of your interminable waffle, perhaps you can post your ‘real life’ figures. The ones to which you might adhere.

But what about the ones who did come forward and nothing happened? I mentioned him bring ‘outed’ in 2018. The fact that some are only hearing about that now is a case in point.

Those are your thoughts and your emotions… you know that don’t you? A simple thank you would have been enough. Be careful, lest your children learn to be ill mannered from you.

If you were of pleasant and deserving character, I could easily have assisted you with all of your queries. You believe that because you cannot find something, that it does not exist. In a way you are correct. It does not exist for you, but that does not mean that it does not exist. https://we-offers.com/product/columbia-pictures-aquaverse/ Websites in the local language will have discounted tickets. My opinion of you hasn’t changed…

Neither geriatric nor in Pattaya. It’s you who is being judgmental about someone with a 60k budget. It’s you who is writing long and rambling posts about nothing, other than what is in your imagination. The same crashingly dull statements time and time again…

In other words… you were that idiot and you are writing about yourself. A loser. Now you are infecting the thread with your negativity. How much money one has at his/her disposal has absolutely nothing to do with posting on social media. All you are doing is describing your own experiences and creating your own scenarios. Personally, I could be out doing anything I want. But sometimes I stay in to avoid the heat or to have a bit of mental sparring without having to actually meet the awful characters in person. Experiences that I would not have in person. You can learn something about yourself and others in so doing. There is no doubt that someone prudent can survive quite nicely on 60k monthly. In your case, it seems that you aren’t comfortable with yourself. I don’t need to spend money on much, as I don’t need much. Whereas you might be ‘high maintenance’. As an aside, I know people working here on a salary of 60k per month and they seem to be thriving. Not everyone spends their time drinking alcohol and paying for company. For those that do, budget for it.

Hopefully meditation in Thailand will help you with your overactive mind. You have some way to go. Learn to enjoy the moments rather than hoping for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
