I don’t think that I need any favours from Trans. Well maybe a little advice now and again computer wise now that crossy is not my friend … he blamed another friend of mine for the level 7 attack or whatever it was that shut AN down for a week some while back… it wasn’t him but never mind… so he said he doesn’t want to be my friend anymore …..

 

So it seems that some of you Pattaya guys are monied … how fortunate you are. MrsJ and myself have to get by on my pension and a little bit of investment in the UK.

 

We do try to play golf three times a week and get away every 2-3 weeks….never to Pattaya though…Our house is not as big as the one Trans has, but it’s okay and we also have to get by with just an old SUV, E-Class and S-Class, so not rich like many of you guys seem to be……

 

I don’t normally comment on this type of post,or even read them. But when I saw how childish, silly and even nasty some of your comments are I made an exception.

 

And I have to say, and choose my words carefully, since Darren bought AN do we really need to let topics that have degenerated as this one has continue……

 

Enjoy you day guys …………
 

Nice but a little too boring for me.

 

Mine is ALOT more fun to drive.

i got my TEFL in CM but found out im not a babysitter....gave up trying to teach thais that seem to have no interest in english

 

You should have been teaching them cookery, not English.

There are jobs in Thailand... If you've skills.

 

I was based in Shenzhen (PRC) working for a huge MNC in the Hi-Tech sector and decided to be based in Thailand.

 

I managed to find a great opportunity in Bangkok through LinkedIn. My employer pays what I'd get in western Europe.

Yep.  Never understood the concept of abandoning a job or career in the West to come to Thailand to teach English for 35k baht a month.

 

 

 

Never understood the denial that it's all about the pussy either.

Bar stool myth. If it were true, there would be no foreign English teachers!

and pay income tax on 30,000, 50,000 or 80,000 a month to keep the WP renewed, depending on what category the work falls under.

 

The minimum wage is based on nationality, not category of work

Naah, anything top less must have a V8. 

 

Anyway, Thailand's roads are too hot and have too much traffic, polluted with fumes from exhaust for convertible driving. 

 

The S-class is much better car to drive in Thailand.

That's not what my company's HR told me.  And I can't imagine an American teacher paying tax on 80K.  But maybe they are...

So you think that foreign English teachers are taking jobs away from all the Thai people who wish to teach English?

What? 

 

I am saying that the "taking jobs from Thais" is a myth. There is a prohibited list and that is all.

“in its day it really was a monster.....”

 

The car or the Mrs?  (joking)

 

Nice car.  Retractable hard top?

 

Considered the two seater Mercedes SL or the Porsche Boxster but reliable MX-5 with economical maintenance won.  Not a fan of $500.00 oil changes.

 

Still a thought but increasing presence in Thailand was another deterrent.

New car price in Thailand?  I thought imports were a lot more.

 

My simple MX-5 Miata is approximately two and a half times more expensive in Thailand than America.

Pity.

 

The have nots will always be whining about the haves.

 

A little more overtime in the mine may of benefited you.

 

Dare I should say I fly out early in the morning for a three month “holiday “ in sunny San Diego while the rains arrive in Thailand…………….Business Class.  Those damm haves.

I knew you would be impressed.  

 

That’s the benefit of a flat as a single (by choice) bachelor.

 

Turn off the water, unplug the refrigerator and off I go .  Security takes care of the red.

 

Easy day.

 

While there are advantages to a house, the problem is leaving for an extended period of time as a bachelor with out any one to look after it.

 

Chances of a break in are extremely high in a vacant house or in America the latest craze is Squatters.

I have a flat, so I don’t worry.  House is a different story.

Break ins are common in vacant houses in Thailand.

 

Rooms in Perth, not so much.  🙂

Yes you Sir too are very rich not like us old Aussie guys who have nothing and are forced to line up at Salvation army soup kitchens ,

 

You have the right to brag in how rich you are flying business class ,not like us poor Aussie guys forced into cattle class and forced into backpacker accommodation like us peasants !!!

A few older guys at my workplace are multi millionaires, I say to them where's your sports cars then ?? 

Where's your Lamborghinis ?

 

I'm bloody jealous mate 

 

 

I mean if I had a million dollars I certainly would flaunt it too , instead I'm forced to live in the street 

 

We should all  flaunt our wealth and good on you for doing it ,but we are all peasants 

 

Good on you and kudos to you

Sir 

 

I wish I had a  million dollars like you , respect to you Sir you made it !! You bloody made it mate !!! 

 

Reminds me of the old Italian guy at my work 70yo says he is a multi millionaire with his 5 bedroom house and still walks to work !

I said bloody hell mate ,a multi  millionaire doesnt walk to work or get the bus !!!; 

 

He SHOULD flaunt his wealth with nice cars just like you guys are doing !!!!

 

And we are the have nots ,we are the peasants forced to slave away whilst G_money and RALFY have made it !!!

 

ALL of us  please join me in bowing to both RALF &  G _money 🙏🙏🙏

Thankyou for your service guys ....from us peasants
