Troll! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For someone with so much knowledge of a person's financial affairs who he/she has never met, you would think they would now how to post on a web board correctly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like I said, even the cynical posts have value.If I mix in any expat circles when I'm there, I will be extremely hesitant to mention anything of a personal nature, given how easily it seems to stir some expats represented on this forum. I merely stated by monthly budget so I could get accurate feedback, without providing that information, the feedback would have not have been as accurate as I desire.I'm sorry if that offends some of you, but I couldn't think of any other way to put the initial question. I specifically want to spend some time in LOS because it is my heritage.I am a thai national and so is my wife and neither of us have really spent a great deal of time there.Yes we do like our creature comforts, each to their own. Thanks to all those who provided useful information...I SINCERELY appreciate it. And thanks to Steve for taking the time to PM me. Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorFart Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I don't think the amount of money you have offends anyone. I think its more that seeing as you could live well in London or Tokyo on that kind of money, the fact that you seem concerned about budget more than anything else seems to be befuddling some folks.

I am unsure about the military draft, I haven't been to Thailand for a long time, and even then I entered on my NZL passport. What are the draft laws ?

skylar Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm suprised no one has asked you the following question, muldoon... would you adopt me? I am in my mid-twenties, university educated, have a good job, have dual citizenship and speak, read and write decent Thai. In return I will care for you and your wife in your old age, will not marry anyone you deem to be unsuitable, take care of all administrative arrangements so that neither of you want for anything and provide you with many beautiful and smart tri-lingual grandchildren to be proud of. Joke aside, you should come to Bangkok and see for yourself what you want out of it. Expats who are using these boards are living so many different lifestyles in so many locations for different reasons that their opinions of what a good lifestyle is will vary. It's all subjective.

bendix Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 With all due respect to Muldoon, I find it extraordinary that someone who: 1) Is a Thai citizen 2) Has a Thai wife 3) Has 91 posts on thai visa and has obviously been a member for a while . . . . . . . feels the need to ask if a million baht is enough to live on in Bangkok. The original Muldoon was known as a Kiwi Prime Minister famous for living with his head up his arse; I suspect our muldoon has taken some lessons from him.

The orig Muldoon was at one time Pres of the World Bank and a very good PM that tried to look after his country.He only started to go down hill in the last part of his term in office."head up his own arse" would describe you, not him.

My wife is in a similar boat. I asked whether my budget would fit my requirements, a specific question...this is different from asking "can you live on x amount", a generic question. Do you know the difference between specific and generic ? Yes I have been a member for while.Maybe I should have known better to use the search function. Why do you get so distressed when someones asks simple polite questions ? If you can't help, wouldn't it be easier just to not reply ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Don't worry about the draft. If you're already over 30 and not on any house registry, no draft card was sent nor will ever be sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Don't worry about all the snide comments Muldoon. It's just jelousy. A few people on this forum don't seem to realise that there are a lot of folk out there that regard 1 million baht a month as "beer money". All power to them, I say. Have met a few of the super-rich in Phuket, and shock! Horror! They are nice, ordinary people just like everybody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntie Dah Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I think every one should be calm down a little over this. In New York ro Los Angeles my student tell me 1 million baht one month is middle class salary, not really rich. Ususally really rich people like to live quiet lifestyle, many drive inexpensive car, not want to have headache of driver. people without too much education, first generation are ones who buy "luxury" things, maybe just throwing money away to try to impress someone. I think this man should not come to Thailand unless he want to do do something interesting here, like start some clever business that will bring lot of work to country people or work 12 hours every day to help some good project or be monk. Otherwise maybe just wasting time and getting himslef in trouble so he wish he never came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
