Where on earth do you find these figures?
The Regents is undoubtly the best international school in the Pattaya area and the annual costs do not exceed 1M baht all incl., less than half your estimate. There are even much cheaper alternatives, International School of Pattaya (ISP) around 300,000/year, Wuttichot and Satit Siriwhatever around 100,000/year.
Unless you have an extravagant lifestyle I think most people would be fine with 125,000 baht/month.
Does someone really think the student in International School of
Pattaya (ISP) around 300,000/year, or Wuttichot and Satit Siriwhatever
around 100,000/year get that much less educated than attending
Regents (1 million Bhat/year)?
I don't think that much differs really.

My GF have been there before and said it was a succesfull bar, but a Thai bar (no farangs with lots of money). My question now is : Can I make enough money from this bar to live from with my GF and after some children (and be able to visit my relatives in Holland sometimes). You people out there who are familiar with Isaan please advise me on this. Any help is very much apreciated. Luuk
Amen to that!
You gona have enough money to eat Som Tam Poo para everyday,
if that's not, then you might end up eating your girlfriend (hope
she isn't pregnant from you)

Pukhet is in top for the moment. I don't see why most guys
complain about it turning into big place, i don't like very
quite island. I need a combination of two thins (Island+ city)
which pukhet has. Guys, Keep the votes coming. Thanks

-It's pure greed and you'r not a thailand lover.
Sorry, but what is this apparent obsession with associating wanting a better income as being greedy?
Greed is the quest of wealth for the sake of being wealthy.
This is hardly the same as the quest of a better income (or even wealth if you will), with the goal of providing a better life for one's family and a better education for one's children.
Specific to myself, one of my fiancee's and my goals is to save $120,000 USD for her daughter's university education (appx $30K a year). If I can figure out a way to save more so that she can go to a better school if she wants to, is that greedy?
If I want to try and save more money so that we can build or buy a nice second house, possibly as a vacation spot or as an investment for some economic security, is that greedy?
Is this what you really mean?
Cheers,
Spee (สพี)
The issue here for most farang is that they have to give up
many things aside from earnings if they want to live in Los,
because simply not much financial oppurtunitis, but more
adventurous and less of routine life.
Ofcourse everyone like to earn and save more, but not every
one is ready to give up freedom and happiness for sake of
making little more money. Even some guys think marriage
makes them slave to their work.

I can never understand how millions of Thai population survive as their average earning mostly is under 10000bth a month? I am a Thai living in UK, may be I am out of touch of how my people live?
I have seen it so many times here people(farangs) arguing about you can't live on such and such amount of money and it s impossible to do so.
I have read the Thai newspaper about government crackdown on prostitutes at Lumpini park. And they mention about between the girls arrested, a few of them are respectable civil servants earning good salary of....6500 bth!!! yes according to the paper they call it good salary. And people here said you just about to survive on 200,000 bth. Are you really talking about living in Thailand?
The living style is differnet like say:
-Thais don't pay as much for having sex partner.
-Most farangs can't eat thai food all the time.
-Most farangs don't like to stay home and drink somthing called mehkong.
-Most farangs need to pay "At least 10,000 Bhat for accommodtion" even
more if married.
-Thais don't travel as much farang do.
and much more
Most important farang being overcharged for most things compared
to thais.

I didn't list any more higher amounts for reasons:
-I didn't think they are seemingly achiveable.
-It's pure greed and you'r not a thailand lover.
What <deleted>! So because I have a good UK business that pays 2-3 million baht per month, by definition, I am not a Thailand lover?????
The question is about "Moving to thailand" and i don't see
any reason that you have to, unless you can make half
that amount. No, you aren't greedy, because your earning
is huge, and you should stay where you are.
I am talking about those who grumble for losing $2-3K a
month because of less income resulting from move to thailand

Please select one option only. Thanks

Does it realy matter whethere you should have money when
you are much older, except for the money leeches that you
need to have around you.
I will make another poll to see what amount per month
make it worthy moving to thailand.
Don't bother - it's been done already. Several times.
Several times? I did a search here and came up with nothing.
Can you provide a link for me. Thanks
Here's a few:

Thank for links. But topics in all above link is "what amount
to live off with?"
My Question and poll intention is how much you need to make?
A guy like me might spend from 60K a month in Thailand and
i need to save extra 80K, otherwise might not make decision for
moving to thailand, just for possibility i might to need to return home
some day, who knows if thai government don't kick you out some
day
I don't know, may be i have a problem that others don't have
-
In reply to the original 'stolen' post. Live and let live. If the old boys want to work 50 weeks a year, and have 2 weeks party, let them. Life's too short.
I think you told me to stay where the earning is?
-
How about a another poll?
Would you want to live in Thailand if their were no cheap ,beautiful and availabel ,women ,prepared to go with overweight burnt out falangs!
Suppose my question is why do so many people fall in love with Thailand?
I mean their are plenty of other cheap to live in asian countries?
Even sex wasn't readily avaiable, i didn't care and still would be
living in thailand permanently, if i was assure i could stay financialy
stable.
It's the friendliness of the people and the culture, thai and foriegn
food varity, safty, ....that attracts more people. Thailand seems to
have the best combination except for bad earning.

Income means any source of income from overseas or local
earning and doesn't have to be made in Thailand.

I have requested moderator to add more choices.
But my question aimed for long-term living, where
you will be driven crazy, bored in some these much
smaller islands
Do you agree?I have been to phuket and pattay. I think Pukhet
resembled a big city while maintaining it's natural
living too, my other alternative to BKK
but then I wouldn't mind Koh Samui as the "big city life"
can be more fun (esp for a dedicated shopper such as myself ). Koh Phangan isn't just the Full Moon Party and to immediately assume that people who carry a backpack have no money is sheer foolishness. Phuket doesn't appeal, too busy, too many idiots, too much traffic. I enjoyed your reply back
. Ok since you are knowledgeable about Kou samuiand kou phangan, I have few question for you:
-What's the reason for water outages in samui, and when and where happens?
-I read somewehere in here, that less and less tourist are coming to samui
despite most accomadtion are empty, but more homes are build everyday,
seems very contradicting? why is that?
-What is popoulation of local samuies and phangan , and what total toursit
turn out in a year and which catogaries?
-Is samui more expensive than Pukhet in general? Does samui have muslim
community like phuket, if yes, what is their profession Exa. fisherman, shop
keeper,.. ?
Thanks
1st question: water shortages on Samui have been mainly the result of overbuilding without adding to the infrastructure. Same problem as everywhere in Thailand really, lack of forward planning.
2. Don't know about less tourists, frankly, most people complain during the off-season, it's feast or famine (Phangan is the same) everybody pretty much comes at the same time. So, other times of the year feel quite empty. I kind of like it, gives the place a homier feeling to not be "touristy" year round. As for more homes, many of those tourists come, like what they see and choose to stay. I see no contradiction.
3. Samui is around 50,000 -60,000, actual population including migrant workers probably tops a total of 80,000 but I don't know that for sure. Koh Phangan is about 7,000 registered locals (ie people on the tabien bahn) add in newcomers and migrants and we are well over 10,000 now. Tourists? No idea. Sorry, I am sure the TAT would have those statistics.
4. No idea if Samui is more expensive, how do you mean? Land? cost of living? Muslims in Samui tend to be fishermen I believe. On Koh Phangan we have a small local muslim community, a great bunch of people overall; hardworking, good neighbors. Mostly fishermen or coconut plantations. Same as the rest of the locals here.
Thanks for info. For your info, pukhet is 400,000 locals and attracts
avarage monthly 250,000 toursit. According to some survey, avarage
spending per person in Phuket is going down.
Need to pay a visit to kou samui too, But seems pukhet is the more
right place for me after Bangkok

I think Hua Hin attracts more expats and some regular toursits
,and but don't attract large # of new toursits every time.
Now you're getting my meaning
Sounds like you have an underlying plan to mass market/flog to alot of sheep/tourists....Ibiza could be better for your purpose?
Come on man, out with it already, what's your master plan here anywayz?
Most plans need money and need some time to be given to it
work around it and not try work it immidiatly. Briefly i can tell
you that i am targeting Middle eastern who traveling more to
east than before, since they travel less to west now because
of the visa requirement and the way they are treated at airports.
What my plan is that's a secret, meantime not easy to apply
immidiatly. I need to think a lot

Japan and Iran, the only two country from Asia in top 20,
despite iran doesn't spend shit on soccor.
BTW Iran kicked Thailand 3-0 and USA 2-1 the last time they played
We will kick American ass again if they dare to meet us.

Why this place is so cheap, can be somthing wrong with this palce

I found working for someone or somewhere in Los isn't
good idea, unless you have some expertise to work for
your own with some required capital.
Can someone tell me what amount of money need to be
made in a month to make your move to thailand at least
worthwhile?
Is 80,000 bhat/month is enough for most you guys, generaly
speaking? Thanks
-
Wha tha??? You left off Hua Hin???? Easily the BEST lifestyle choice in LOS imho.
I'm heading there to settle after work's all done. I'll put one caveat, IF Chiang mai were on the coast, WITH Doi Suthep, now that would be a choice! Meantime, best is even further south of hua Hin, near Sam Roi Yawt natnl park....and don't tell anybody! (oops;)
I selected These cities/resorts that have to meet two criteria:
-Attracting large number of toursit
-longterm living
I think Hua Hin attracts more expats and some regular toursits
,and but don't attract large # of new toursits every time.
I agree on chiang mai.
-
They should difinitly disable vote blockings.
Why you have decided to live in chiang mai?
I think the biggest downside is that chiang mai
is a city not a resort like other, meanwhile very
far from bangkok and other major cities.
p.s never been to chaingmai, except to Bkk,
pattaya, and phuket.

Personally, I prefer CT as there is no noisy mosque- fewer hostile glares - and it is just as close to BT Beach. A friend used to rent an apt. on the Ao Bang Tao road almost down to the beach road - for about B4500. Depending on where you live - be prepared for water outages.
How they know you are an American? Doesn't make sense they give
just anyone with blond hair a hostile glare.
-
I think if you can show 40K coming, then you don't need to show
another 400k bhat fix amount.
Should 400k bhat should be blocked in a bank for whole year,
or it can be removed later on, after showing the statment?

Dear kind moderators,
I think poll feature in this forum is acting in very stupid manner.
If you click veiw result first , then you won't be able to vote?
That is why we have very few votes
