That said, I won't toss you, not a gambling man, although do invest heavily in the ASX which makes the tax free returns here worth living here. Good luck to you, 5 is better than 4, but I like to keep my feet on the ground, to remind me where I came from as opposed to beating my chest.....lol Well you wouldnt need much to live for 43 years if you only carry 1000 baht on you. How do fill up your car? Buy a shout? Your third sentence seems to contradict your first sentence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia is the second-wealthiest nation in terms of wealth per adult, after Switzerland, in 2018 it overtook Switzerland and it became the country with the largest median wealth per adult.

The pension supplements are removed ( electricity and phone ) which is fair enough because we are not using them. That reduces the OAP by about 10%.

Each to their own of course How long do you think you will have to wait for your AMP and Telstra shares to make a comeback? It makes sense now, why you dont have any pocket money.

Once sober, he'll find he's earned himself something like 10 years in jail and/or a 1,000,000 THB fine. It's probably less fines and jail time to commit armed robbery for real. He should have stuck to his story. Sucks to be him now methinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When tourism and retirees numbers drastically drop, then perhaps some steps may be taken to treat visitors with a minimum of respect and decency in Thailand. Either you need to keep up, or that is one of the most sarcastic posts on TV I've ever read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
