Are you in subsidised housing or rent control ?

Living in the west or other countries is not cheap.
I live now about 4 months in Spain and can compare the prices of living in Europe and living in Thailand.
But in the long term, Spain is cheaper than Thailand for me.
I walk every month into the hospital, visit a few specialists and get my medication FREE OF CHARGE.
I go many times drink a glas of wine and get a Tapa of my choice free.
Total price for a glass of wine and a Tapa (food) is 3.5 EUR.
I stap on the bus and can go anywhere FREE OF CHARGE.
So, living in the West can be cheaper as Thailand.
And best of all, NO HASSLE WITH VISAS OR 90-DAYS REPORTS.

Times are changing fast and Thailand is not the country it was when I came living there.
In a few years time, Thailand will become a very expensive country for most expats.

There are mainly 2 kind of people travelling to Thailand and nothing has changed in this matter.

1. The elder people who are alone and can get no girl/woman in their country anymore (except woman of their own age) and travel to Thailand to get a young girl to take care of them.
Off course, against $$$$$$$.
This type of tourist used to travel to Pattaya or Phuket, but you can see them in Issaan and other cities as well now.

2. The backpackers who are enjoying their youth before starting a carreer in their own country.
They con't care about safety rules, tourist rules or anything.
Their goal is to enjoy life to the fullest for a short time.
Off course, many of then end-up returning ti their country while missing a few limbs or in a box.
