Who lives on 20k a month ?
There are lots of people who live in Pattaya part-time or year-round who 'never get involved with nightlife there'. That includes my spouse and myself, and most of the people we know who also live here. The location is terrific to start--we can be at our center city Bangkok getaway condo in less than 2 hours--with a drive on the Motorway that's much easier and faster than, say Hua Hin. Suvarnabumi is only about 1.5 hours away--very convenient as we like to travel. Spouse and I have been car-shopping and just about every auto brand imaginable is available in Pattaya, including 3 or 4 of the new Chinese brands. We ended up buying an suv from BYD, which has a dealership in town. No need to drive long distances to get to a dealership. Ditto that for a selection of good hospitals, and good dental and eye care. Shopping is excellent, with both Terminal 21 and Central Festival Mall, as well as some other shopping centers. Movies in English at several different movie complexes. Good big box stores, including Index, Home Pro, Boonthavorn, and others. Also good supermarkets with Makro, and several branches of Big C, Lotus, Villa Market, etc. Plus numerous local food markets. Lots of recreation available with golf courses, badminton and tennis courts, public gyms, snorkeling, biking trails, other boating activities, etc. We love to eat out and Pattaya has tons of restaurants--and you don't need to go to the tourist areas to find them. We are on the Darkside and there are lots of good restaurants on this side of Sukhumvit. By far the biggest draw has to be both the variety of neighborhoods to choose from and the equally large variety of housing available, at all price points, whether one chooses to rent or own. There's likely a neighborhood--with a good choice of housing--to fit just about any lifestyle. Whether you want a big pool villa in a quiet area or an oceanfront condo on one of the beaches--or something more modest--you'll be able to find it in Pattaya. -

Who lives on 20k a month ?
Maybe it was mentioned already. I suggest find a nice Thai girlfriend. Find one who knows how to live with 10k per month. Then she will live with you in luxury and take care of everything. I am serious. I am pretty sure you won't be able to do what she does. I.e. she will go to the fresh market and know the prices and what is in season and all that. I don't have to live on a small budget, but I am always amazed what my gf is able to buy at the market at very low prices. -

Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
Interesting to see people cracking up about normal American politics. It's far from the first time bills had to be adjusted and subjected to a re-vote. So the answer to the question is "bipartisan." Bipartisan bills, who knew such a thing existed, eh? . -

Trump’s big fat abject lie …and why he keeps telling it.
Compare the incidence of dental caries in Hawaii, where fluoridation was stopped in 1966, with that of mainland USA. The only places that still need iron lungs for polio patients are Pakistan and Afghanistan, due to vaccine hesitancy caused by ignorance. Polio is still endemic there. QED. -

Thailand goes high-tech: New E-Visa set to transform travel
Interesting. I'm in Malaysia now. Entered at Penang and got a stamp. No autogates for foreigners there. Maybe it depends on the arrival airport.
