Seriously though Carl, do you mind telling us what products you are exporting to the UK?

Sure, gold gemstone jewellery (retail and beginning to wholesale), silk fabric (wholesale), and several styles of ladieswear (retail and wholesale).

This is true Tokker.  Having looked at jobs etc I am quite astounded to see such relatively low paid wages of the Thai people.  If some can survive on 5000/m then 30k/m plus should be a plenty?  I've read many posts here and elsewhere (usually teachers...) complaining on how little they get paid.

We lived on 30/40/50 thousand a month for a long time living a good life with many holidays around Thailand. However, when the first kid got to school age things got tighter. With a second on the way we will be relocating to the UK for a few years. It would still be possible to live here but it would be living a totally thai style life ( thai education, no uk hols etc) . As the kids are half Thai, half Ferrang we don't think that's appropriate.

Ideally, we would both like to stay in Thailand but both agree that we can "sacrifice" a few years to better our lives when we return.
