Speaking of wine, that's why I moved to Thailand. I have a Jacob's Creek Sav Blanc wine addiction and it only costs $8 a bottle at my local ($6 from Dan Murphy's if I want to drive).

 

In Thailand the same bottle costs near $30 (700 baht) so I don't go near the stuff and drink 60 baht Singha's instead 😀

Other than Islamic countries, Thailand is probably the worst "wine" experience any foreigner tourists, or expat, could have. 

 

The owner of Thai Bev' can't have foreign companies eating into his profits.

I didn't know you have to pay to see a doctor in Australia.

 

Was this always the case? 

 

I guess Canada does come ahead in something.

I never paid a cent to see a doctor, but I am a pensioner. I go every 5 months for check-up and new prescriptions.

And I bet you get the best immigrant doctor, fresh out of uni from a 3rd World Country, sent to the middle of nowhere in Australia, so they can gain PR. 

 

What fine medical care you receive, but hey, it's free, but then again, so is Dr. Google.   :cheesy:

Aldi sells 4 litre casks I buy mine from Dan Murphy's now since I can order online.

You posted Aldi before, now it's Dan's. 

 

Ok, no problem,  So, post a link for this fine beverage.  :smile:

Give it a rest mate. I'm new to this thread but you are constantly attacking this guy. And if you think Perth is in the middle of nowhere recruiting 3rd world doctors than I wonder where you are actually from? Are you an Aussie?

Mind your own business, he's doing a great job filtering out the fakes and phoneys.

That's $3 a litre, much better off going the 4L for $9.99. Saves 50c a litre 😉

Yes, I agree.  Definitely living the dream. 

 

Why would anyone actually want to live in Thailand when there is $9.99 cask wine in Australia?  :smile:

No public doctors. 

 

I maintain private health insurance in Australia, should a catastrophic illness / injury happen.   Eg. cancer.  I'll return to Australia for private treatment, with the insurance company paying.  

 

Once again, you are living on a shoe string budget in Australia, but passing it off on here as a great lifestyle. 

 

I think your lifestyle would be better in Thailand on the pension, like so many other members here, but your Thai missus is wearing the pants and you are locked into Australia.

Why are you even posting on this thread?  What is the point of you posting?  You have minimal connection to Thailand.

What qualifies as a minimal connection to Thailand?

 

Does someone really need to have strong connections to Thailand to post in a "Home Country" sub-forum on a thread about cost of Alcohol in Australia?

You live, full time, in Australia. 

 

What relevance do your posts have for expats in Thailand?

You post that your lifestyle on an aged pension in Australia is better than that of an Aussie expat living in Thailand, on the same aged pension.  It's BS.  If that was the case, all these Aussie expats on an aged pension would be living back in Australia. 

 

When asked for examples, your only examples were cheap cask wine and Medicare doctors.  It's laughable.

The member bangs on about a great lifestyle in Australia on the aged pension.  If it's so good back there, why aren't all the Aussie pensioners living back there, and not just those in Thailand, but everywhere, including places like Bali etc?
