Do you spend more, less or about the same as you thought you would before coming to Thailand?

Only go to busy places then no problem, last time I was ill was a farang restaurant 

I haven't gotten sick "yet" on street food in the 14 years I have been here. The last time I got sick was at a nice restaurant in Mexico city. Coming out both ends????

I think percentage wise, about the same compared to my income, as when I came here over 10 years ago. I live rural, house paid for, car paid for, eat almost totally at home. I go back to the States to work 6 months out of the year. My rent there is more than I spend total here in a month. My wife take photos of the prices for food and such every year when we return to the States. Unbelievable, 20 to 30 percent. We may decide it isn't worth the money we make there this year. (rent, gas, airfare, food)

Well, I got sick in a Swiss restaurant in Pattaya and many times before in Thai restaurants but never had much street food

No, I had a curry sausage and Roestie (fried potatoes) and no I am not Swiss. Yes I love fondue but not cheese
