Not a very well thought out OP. 

The 800K required does not reflect the minimum one can exist on, but the minimum the government considers a foreigner needs to live in Thailand without becoming a burden to the Thai system if things go wrong for the expat.

No  probably fair to assume I'm paying more than you do though, I'm not complaining, happy to pay that amount to live the lifestyle I want to live, I perspired enough working to get where I could retire in comfort, be damned if I am going to have any more unnecessary sweaty days now 

I live in a 3 bedroom house, with 2 bathrooms, 4 aircon units in central Pattaya and I don't pay half of that...I wonder what your lifestyle is then... ????

Right I've just payed 3 houses total 2,500. add on 2 internet bills and its 3,200

What are you on about? CWG was talking about his ONE house not three. And 2500 for electric for three properties is very cheap.

As for 3200 for two internets.......you are being ripped off.

That she is an alcoholic and can't make a proper decisions has nothing to do with the fact that you can have a nicer live with more money.

she isn't an alcoholic, it's her life who made you god to say what is proper,  I'm  certainly not going to help her kill herself. You are showing what a complete fool you are by thinking that more money = better life for some it does, for others it would be the same as murder. So you want to be a murderer now, shame on you.

comparing my bills for 3 houses to his one at 6,000 and the 3,200 includes electricity for 3 houses internet for 2 so not a rip-off, make that 3,300 total including the water bills for all 3 including one that is a shop,

 

so electricity 3

water 3

fibre internet 2

3,300

Sorry mate, I mis-read your post, thought the internet alone was 3200.. 

This topic has run its course since it has gone way off the rails with posts mostly bashing the OP.
