Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 Simple maths. 1999 I decided to retire (for the first time). Australia - 800,000 AUD in the bank please. Thailand - 800,000 THB in the bank please. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post totally thaied up Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 I prefer Australia for many reasons but I married a Thai that loves her home here. Maybe after her parents die I will spend more time in Australia but till then, Thailand is my home and I shall not complain about it. Thailand has been good to me. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 Nice place to visit for awhile, wouldnt want to live there, I expect many feel the same about Thailand. Couldnt afford and certainly wouldnt have the home/land and wife I have here, in Australia thats for certain. Much better standard of living here. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post madmen Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) It used to be cheaper but not anymore.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 Where do I begin? Car registration $80 instead of $700. Traffic fines ( I don't get a lot ) $20, not $500 or worse. Rent a condo with swimming pool for one month here, costs the same as one week in Oz. A good pub-type meal costs $10 instead of $30. Even less if I eat Thai. Scotch whisky half the cost of Australia. Parking fines? What are they? Internet about twice as fast as anything in Oz, half the cost to boot. Electricity and water monthly cost about one fifth of what I used to pay in Oz. My GF is 24 years younger than me, and never has a headache. Enough said? 31 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalorymetr Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I would choose Australia if I could get there without visa sponsorship... Maybe after I get bored with Thailand I'll pursue this, or do uk citizenship first, which is easy for EU members.
