BTW, 2000 isn't enough to rent a decent looking burd for a night, and perhaps not even enough for short time. Get a gf. Dont need to rent. Buffet has $100bn he doesnt buy flashy stuff. Looking at a bank statement showing $50m is happiness. Dont need to spend it all. The best curries cost 120 baht. A nice beer 80 baht. Go from beach to city to mountain, no work. 2000 baht a day im happy.

Let them stay a week and they think they are entitled. Why would I care about Buffet? If he has $100 bn he hasn't spent IMO he must be a misery guts. No one person needs that much money. No wonder people dislike the rich.

Get bored go to bkk for 5 nights, stay in a 5000 baht a night room. Fly back.
September 20, 20223 yr If I had more money; Stop worrying about having enough money, it is said that having too much money can be a stressful as not having enough, but I would accept that stress. I have never been one for spending money just because I have money. , so I am happy with my lot in life.

I liked Plaas top of the hill. Fly back. LOL. Not possible. Unless they finally built the airport on Phangan, closest airport is Samui. How long have they had fridges in the rooms?

Or, "maybe money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you things that make you happy". In my early 20s I was working overseas for oil companies and the job was very well paid, so when I came back to my hometown all my mates (and even new ones!) Got to share in the money I was splashing around the place in pubs and restaurants etc, and it didn't worry me because two weeks later I was going back overseas to earn more. I guess I wasted a lot of what should have been saved for my future, however I had a great time in doing so and have never regretted any of it. (The George Best saying springs to mind). Now, some 50 years later I'm living in Phuket with money enough to fund my lifestyle, even buying nice red wine on a daily basis, and supporting a daughter at university, but something I have often pondered is, "do I need more money and if I had it, what would I do with it", because I seriously don't know, other than to put a few million baht into my daughter's account for her future, but she will have that anyway. So what would I do? Probably seek out more expensive wines, and dine out more, and of course help out a few people whom I know are struggling at the moment, but not those folk whose problems are "self-inflicted". As it seems unlikely that I will "have more money" then I'll just settle for the status quo which at the moment suits me fine.
