If You Were Really Rich In Los

[Chiuey]

Buy my own chain of islands, and claim independence so I don't have to put up with Thaksin steealing my money!

[buadhai]

It ain't the money, or the place, or the toys; it's the attitude.

That said, were I to splurge it would be on other-than-economy-class tickets across the Pacific to visit family and friends now and then.

[Bilko]

I'd help people that were a lot less forunate than I was, set up a fund where smart rural kids could go to University, regardless of their Parents financial Status.

Plus a few things for myself..............

Who is this American popstar? I know it said don't mention him but go on..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

MJ, i guess...............

[sua yai]

Never have to worry about money again. The maintenence quote I received for my property in central London this morning simply wouldn't be a problem.

[duke69]

I will come back to Europe, enjoy a luxury life and come to BKK just few weeks a year for vacation.

I will spend most of my time in the caribbean, which indeed are 10 times better than Thailand ...... but my company pays me the salary to stay here and not on a beach in the caribbeans!!

My Thai wife says that if your family is very poor and you do well in school you can borrow money from the government and go to University.....it seems that virtually all motivated Thai children have access to University. She also said it was not this way before but it is now.

What fantasies would you be playing out?

Any one that I wanted

Seriously, I would buy a yacht, of the Greg Norman variety and learn to fly a Helicopter.

... and learn to play golf!

[duke69]

I WILL CURE ALL THE SICK BUFALOS IN THAILAND

... AND FREE ALL THE BGs

[mnoorsapl]

Buy over Koh Samui.

[aughie]

Did he say free BGs for all?

I awreddy dun that, you sore me at the golf place, leg end I is

[Dragonman]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know I'm nitpicking, but foreigners are no longer allowed to learn to fly helicopters in Thailand. (believe it or not, it's supposedly to prevent terrorism )

Anyway, we all know if money was no object, we wouldn't be working, and we'd probably not be living in Thailand (except maybe during the cool season).

One of the main reasons for being in Thailand is that it's a cheap place to have a pretty good standard of living. However, if money's no object that reason disappears and places like the south of France, or Florida (Disneyworld) beckon. Outside of the cool season Thailand is basically too hot to be truly comfortable, especially if money isn't an issue.

Personally - with money no object, I'd hire a tutor for the kids, buy a boat (like Greg's), and go around the world SLOWLY, staying in port for a month or so at each stop. (long enough to go to places like Disneyworld when in Florida, but not so long that you have to worry about tax...)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And we all know airplanes would be of no use to terrorists

I'd get a few extra mia nois so my wife wouldn't tell me she had so many headaches.

[Nordlys]

If I made a fortune, maybe I'd just leave Thailand and settle somewhere else.

Maybe immigrate to Canada with wife and buy a house on the western shore of Victoria island, BC.

[sadman]

I'd build a big house with a pub and a curry house attached, and a rugby pitch and grandstand to the rear. I'd have my own team of fat blokes and we'd challenge all comers but always win and I'd always score the winning try 'cos it's my house/pitch/team/money. I'd also be selected for England (the way things are going, I could be good enough).

Then I'd spend as much as I could on beer, food and women and squander the rest.

[meom]

I would unionize the fleshtrade and double my money.

[opothai]

take up several hobbies mainly expensive ones.

one of those hobbies would be to invest in my wifes village and reward the people that worked, 'very well' and give nothing to the people who tried to shirk, and hopefully an expensive hobby would be worth while, and the results of my little experiment, would one be disappointed or happy ?

but i would find it interesting all the same

[JimsKnight]

Get the offshore banks rockin' and rolling with the interest and laugh at the toxin man not being able to touch the money!

Amongst the other million things I'd have done is establish a small harem for all the cool dudes of the forum!

[kayo]

Did he say free BGs for all?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think he said "all BGs for free"

Pity you couldn't try that experiment in the UK.

I'd start with two of the fastest motorcycles, at least 4 Lotus sports cars, and a really good-looking, long-legged pre-op young Thai katoey; luxury penthouse condos in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Galveston, and a big house on a cliff on the western coast of Ireland. Go by first-class jet to all the peace rallies, meet with heads of state to avert wars, and always have a year's supply of Viagra in case the supply got cut off.

No offense PeaceBlondie, but can you please leave that stuff in the Gay Forum so us hetros don't have to read it?

Disgusting (the part about Galveston).

Well I'm a hetro and I read it - and I'm certainly not offended.

You keep it up, Peaceblondie, make the red-necks suffer.

You never, know, maybe they will learn something about Thai tolerance (what am I saying? They probably couldn’t define the word).

i know the results would be ' very dissapointing and a waste of money' in the uk

[Dah fahrang]

Oh, I think I'd just buy a telecommunications company and then believe I could run the country.

[tudorw]

Only small stuff really.

Regardless of expense I'd get the useless Honda motorcycle I bought last year flown back to UK. There have it fixed by someone who knows how and has more than one hammer. Properly fixed so it can be started without me suffering a hernia.

Fly it back again business class. Have it encrusted with gold and jewels. Then drive the wretched thing to the Honda dealership, where I would personally torch it in a spectacular fashion as a futile act of protest.

Thereafter I would drive myself around in my own gaily painted, rickety but fully functional Isaan bus, honking the horn a lot, shoving everyone else over and paying off a few old scores.

Finally I would air condition the street in our village for the benefit of all.

Then, and only then, would I adopt an attitude of mai pen rai.

With all that Viagra, I'm sure "keeping it up" will not be a problem

[wolf5370]

Buy Thai citizenship and go to every national park in the country - soon double my money!

Seriously, I would go do a degree in something - Thai as foreign language perhaps. Could be fun - no worries, just living and learning.

Oh, and an Aston Martin DB8 wouldn't go amiss either

[Voo Doo]

Let us say, for arguments sake, you were really rich (at least as rich as a recently acquitted American pop star – who must never be mentioned again in this thread) and living in Thailand.

What fantasies would you be playing out?
