I wouldn't want to live anywhere only because it's cheaper. No doubt this is true for you and I agree that it is the best reason to live in Thailand. But from what I hear from many people myself as well as what I read in this forum, many people live in Thailand because (they perceive) it's cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 If the OP gave up spending $5K a month on women in the USA for just six months, he would easily make the 800K baht for a retirement visa, then would not need to think about the income route. He would also have more than enough to live very well in Thailand, as he has stated he already owns a condo in Pattaya. I can't see what his problem is, apart from a deficiency in brain cells. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Your $3.5k per month can give you an excellent life 12 month a year in Thailand – it's more than 100k baht a month – however, you'll might need a little more for 7/365 ad hoc sugar-babe dates, but far from $5k, if you don't permanently need exclusive hi-so VIP babes...????

Agree, not necessary inexpensive, some things, but a very good value, for most things, especially large ticket items & mandatory monthly expensive, dependent where one hails from. Along with anything that involves a bit of labor. I like the lack of any real RE Taxes, and accessible and inexpensive healthcare vs silly USA prices. That's a lot of extra money in the pocket. Got an ECG yesterday, no referral or appointment needed, and the ECG itself cost ฿200. Same ECG back in Philly, PA, USA, and price starts at ฿19,000 / $550 USD ???? Took all of 5 mins, and it's not exactly an expensive machine. OP's lifestyle, if believable, would be considerably less expensive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
