In the states it cost me almost $100 per month just to keep the pilot lights lit - years ago....$200+ a month for cable/internet (Comcast).... We spend pennies to dollars here - and are lucky to do so..... We had been spending months in the US RVing before Covid every year = and every year it was a new case of sticker shock..... We're going back once the flights/C19/travel difficulties stabilize.....I have a feeling the sticker shock is going to be horrific..... We live in privilege here - and - we are privileged to live here.... Don't let the noise/static/petty annoyances get to you..... We are spoiled for good life choices here..... That greener grass on the other side of the fence = isn't..... Maybe you forgot the original comment? Wasn't mine I started giving my Thai partner 20K baht a month 13 years ago to pay for food, water and electric. I still give her 20K baht a month and if anything we eat better now than then. I have offered many times to increase the amount, but she always refuses and tells me if she runs short she'll let me know. So if the cost of living has increased, it's negligible. He claims 13 years later his is eating better and cost increase negotiable. Electric has sure as heck increased dramatically past 13 years. He wasn't talking about your RVing or how much your costs are in the USA I never think Thailand is a privilege, sorry. I don't consider third world anything a privilege. I also never worry about sticker shock. If you made it to old age and have to worry about how much things cost, you didn't do a very good job.

Depending if he have left the country the few last year's or not, I can relate to the feeling of this is not for me permanent, but at once you are back in reality, you find both places makes it complete. At least my experience. Being stuck one place changes the whole game 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice to say, Thailand is unique in their world view, and my days here are numbered. I'm with you, bud. Ignore the people on here who are Thaier than Thais.

Just choose not to leave, for what ever reason. If splitting one's time, in 2 places or travel a lot, and just use any one place as a base, is fine, if that's what one chooses. If you can't think of more reason to stay than leave, then the decision is easy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe those who wake up complaining about something, go to bed complaining, the same people would be complaining any place in the world where they would be going. It takes some view of light and, and you can be happy anywhere, as long they have something to wake up to that's makes them happy. Every evening I'm thinking of the new fresh grained coffee I'm going to enjoy with a smile on my face. Off course there is other things in my life that makes me smile and can't wait to wake up early in the morning, but that coffee is for sure one of the first things I'm going to be served. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
