Popular Post peterfranks Posted July 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 Let me get this clear. I don't live here as long as Scouse123, but I'm nearing it, and I get his point. Financially I'm healthy, so healthy I don't think I can spend it all before I die, which may be another 30 years going by the age my parents are. The first 10 years I was here I enjoyed, knowing I was in a third world country, and realizing the pros and contras of that. Though when I lived and worked in my home country, I could see the improvements all the time, so I would expect this as common anywhere in the world. What I experience here is that it instead goes backwards in every way. I could give plenty examples of that, but it's late already. In short, when I arrived here I always thought they were 20 years behind, today I think they are 50 years behind. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 WE choose to accept the BS, because in some cases/countries, LOS is still a better option for us to do as we please and we try hard enough, left alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to see how far 20K (about A$200 a week) goes in Australia for two people. You got your figures right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know anything. Look it up. You seem a bit slow. I have already said 3 times that the 20K I give my partner for housekeeping each month still covers all our basic expenses like food, electric and water, and has done for 13 year Now whether bottled gas has gone up 20 baht a bottle or water costs an extra 50 baht a month, I don't care, the 20K still covers it. Perhaps for those living on the smell of an oily rag those increases are significant. Edited July 9, 2022 by giddyup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
