Not everyone wants to live in a shoebox on Pattayas dark side The shoe box, as you love to phrase it, is a lot better than what a lot of your countrymen can afford.

Anybody can get share accommodation in oz for $70 a week and then knock off rent assistance and call it $50 and free medicare and nearly free meds. Or stay in a moldy old 5k room the dark side and die on the floor because no money to pay even the ambulance to hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try posting sober Try not to be the Oz expert then and suggest retirees have it easy in Oz, at least get it that North Queensland does not start at the Sunshine Coast and admit that homelessness particularly amongst the aged is bad thus my reference to the Salvation Army. Your put down of folk who live in shoebox rooms in Thailand puts the lie to renting a share room in Oz. As to my posting sober ..pretty lame slap.

amykat Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Who said you were pretending to be a foreigner exactly ...you never stated you were, you just speak English well and are making us think that obviously ...I think you are not a farang. If not a Thai maybe another Asian. Or just trolling us. No reason for you to be here making these posts, it doesn’t make sense for the most part ....unless you don’t make sense, and you do not!!!

If he's a troll, he wouldn't be coming back again and again to explain himself. The guy's taking some bullets but is handling it pretty well. There have been a number of threads with expats talking about their expenses in Thailand. Typically, it's some guy claiming to be raising a family on 20k a month. And of course, he'll get roasted for being a loser/cheap charlie. Well here we have a guy who's actually got some money and people are attacking him for boasting/making it up. Can't win. But maybe he dispels the myth that only poor white trash comes to Thailand. This will seriously vex the haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb17 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Ah living the life - up to the eyeballs in debt ( if of course any of this is true? ) loans, car payments, mortgages etc etc . That alone would give me apoplexy. The way to a simple stress free life is never to owe anything to anybody . Now people if you were sitting at home and thinking - what can I post - perhaps something challenging, interesting, what is this snake? Perhaps something pleasant . No I’m going to post - WOW I’m a rich guy - watch out you peasants. Personally I think this yet another troll post . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
