There are no, or only dumb people living on fantasy clouds that are trying to retire in Thailand on only a small government pension.

And you get the other dumb people who can not afford to retire working in Thailand for Thai money, and often needing a second income from their wife just to survive.

Unfortunately I'm one of the poor farangs 

Im buying a Borat leotard to wear to Beach Road

Drop everything and go find the cheaper places to live then adjust your expectations. Most of the country is poor and lively cheaply so you need to study what they're doing and take their lead.

If you think Thailand is too expensive you need to get out and see the real world. Spend some time in Europe, spend some time traveling around, spend some time in the US for God's sake. The inflation is out of control in the US is it is now more expensive than some of the major capitals of Europe.

 

Thailand is still quite reasonable.

Come on man I know you get a good hourly rate with probably double time Sunday and superannuation payments of 11 per cent. You won't be eligible for the age pension. 

 

Where in Sydney does he work ?

Callan Park hospital, located Lilyfield, Sydney but I was told he doesn't work there.

I've heard he's an inmate, out for a holiday on good behaviour.

paid nearly $6 for a 6 inch subway ,same price in Australia 

You are your own worst enemy then - cheap burger and coke 711 would be about 60 baht. NO point in moaning about prices when you are choosing to buy expensive foods. Chicken salad from my local kabab stall (after 6pm) is 80 bht if you choose more healthy. 

 

I believe I am relatively OK for money, but my wife and myself recycle our daughters drinks stall plastic, bottles and card - we got 1200 baht the other month for it. We pick up the 711 stamps and get free food from it, pick up 1 bhts when you see them on the floor - they add up.

 

That said, if any of my fellow UK are living on a frozen pension - moving to vietnam will not help you in the long run as all you are doing is delaying the inevitable !

I still pay AUD 240 per week for about 8 years now and still can afford to travel to LOS twice a year. 

Your $240 a week rent deal is not available for anyone else and is about a third of what a AU city apartment lease is these days, so no point continually boasting about it, over and over again, on multiple threads. Amazing.

That's because he is in Government housing .

And on top of that the Rent assistance payment on his old age pension 

 

But it's Department of Housing so he is lucky to get it

Yes I guess your right 

I do like Subway though 

I find the Tinnies meat pies are also quite expensive compared to Australia meat pies ,I mean who pays nearly $9 for a meat pie in Australia?

[keysersoze276]

Wasn’t that you that posted last week about taxi drivers not being able to charge 500-1000 baht for a few kilometers trip because people choose Grab, so we should use regular taxis and everyone should tip them even if they don’t use the meter because they don’t make 80k/month anymore?  I could be wrong.
