How Do You Make A Living In Thailand ?

[Gary A]

I suppose most ex-pats live off a combination of the above so please vote as to where MOST of your money comes from.

[Gary A]

The reason I put on the last choice is because of an old Norwegian fart who moved here because he got kicked out of all the nursing homes he was put into. He was a cantankerous old guy who kept telling his family that he wanted to live here in the Kingdom and not in any nursing home. The last I knew he was doing just fine here and had thrown his wheelchair away.

None of your business

Relax jack, I didn't put "sale of illegal drugs" in the poll.

Interest from savings in the UK, a small private pension cashed in 20 years early, and a rental property in Pattaya.

Working in a office 5.5 days a week in BKK however, better than working in a office back in London

You forgot about the broads too, Dave!

And the Bangkok traffic is preferable to that in LA or Houston!

...only worse

I'm a passionate gigolo

I always HATED that half day on Saturday. Sure beat working in the states though. Now I do nothing and I do it VERY well.

Yeah, I don’t mind so much, anyway I really do appreciate how fortunate I am to be working here. Mind you, I do work bloody hard and it can be quite frustrating at times being the only farang out of 200 or so!

Still have to work 3 months per year in the oilfields of the Middle East, when it all goes to plan I'd be working right now, because it's too hot here, but 'Murphys Law' always arranges my contracts for OCT-FEB.

Hope one day to live on interest from savings, but the best U.K. rates are 5% gross, so I either have to triple my savings or hope for the BOE to push up the base rate.

Anyone know anything about these adverts for 'do a few hours work on your PC for big cash'?

[lampard10]

I was given some advice years ago before I came here and that was 'If you want to make a small fortune in Thailand,arrive with a big one'

But I do try to make a living levering money out of tightwads pockets.

Yeah right, it's only a fukcing cold 40 degrees C today in Saudi and blowing frigging sand everywhere. With summer on the way it can only get better.

Thanks, DJ.

That poll caught me at a transition. I'm living off the pensions now, although for two years the school teaching has paid a lot of bills.

That's terrible!

I'm sure you don't have a lot of old scrubbers working there?
