peterb17 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Have been trying to keep up with the story of the 30 m Baht lottery win. Ok a fair bit of money - someone just won £48m back in Blighty . What would you do - that’s serious money .

Popular Post giddyup Posted February 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2018 Not even close to some of the US lottery wins, but certainly not to be sneezed at. A house on Lake Como would probably eat up half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Big party in the Land of Smiles, every day, every night. And when that gets boring there is still time to think about other ways to spend all that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already living without fast internet connection. This mobile connection is just fine.

Jonmarleesco Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Not something with which, sadly, I've ever needed to concern myself; nor, I imagine, is it ever likely to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seancbk Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Find a really nice penthouse in Bangkok to live in. Expand my business across Thailand and into Vietnam and Cambodia. Being able to start going snowboarding to Whistler and Japan again would be nice. Might consider getting a few live in girls. Definitely make my penthouse into an always on party for any friends that want to come round and crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a large business and employing several thousand people is not just about the money. It's more about the fame and the 'Face' it would give you in Asia. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mansell Posted February 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2018 Travel more, help more people, maybe relax a bit more, though I am pretty relaxed now. Probably stay in the land of smiles, summer occasionally in England and Europe and America, and New Zealand. Enjoy helping others anonymously and enjoy the look on their faces. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I might buy a Subaru XV but the maintenance costs are a bit high. Possibly rent a house with trees in the garden. I have never been any good at spending money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
