What does 1000 baht buy you in Australia? What does the same 1000 baht buy you in Thailand? It's important to compare "like for like." That's where "The Big Mac Index" comes in. Google it.

You are comparing Australian prices with Thai prices and not everybody drinks. My Thai wife is a nurse she makes 45 $ per hour I guess that is over 1000 baht per hour. I do get about 2500 $ per months on my pension You edited and added more to your post. No argument from me the hourly wage is higher in Australia, but you have to spend a lot more of that hourly wage just to be able to earn that hourly wage, such is the higher cost of living in Australia.

Basically, smokers paying for their own health care when they get sick from smoking. Non smokers were going to benefit from this also. Billions of dollars in extra tobacco tax and the medical system still has record waiting times. Where does all that tobacco tax go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Thailand by choice, not for affordability, but mainly for the climate and lifestyle. I live in Pattaya. Yes, it has its critics, but there are so many choices for hospitality and activities here it's amazing, then, there is the nightlife. You live in an average size rural town / city on the west coast, shop at Aldi, and your biggest claim to fame is $11 cask wine. It's laughable.
