Nothing to do necessarily with this particular topic but doesn't that list sum up many of the posts on TV - or am I being overly cynical....

I am sure

all of this makes sense

in your small little mind

and even smaller heart

but i can not manage to cull

anything positive, constructive, useful, sensible, logical or reasonable

from anything you have posted in this thread

which begs the question:

just what are you on???

(besides and inflated ego and sense of superiority)

[deejah]

actually

and come

to think of it

you can still find

an issan meal for a measly

ten baht, if you can not appreciate

the power of the baht and the VALUE here

then you have probably consume more than you

need, are spoiled and dont appreciate all you have

and you need and waste a lot too, rant over for now

perhaps more later

[deejah]

Thanks for explaining all that deejah. It's very helpful.

Naam, please take note and don't let it happen again. Good man.

just curious what makes him a 'good man' ?

in this thread i fail to see it

please enlighten me

thanks

[deejah]

a

truly

good man

has compassion

and shows generosity of mind

heart spirit and material, all else fails short by far

[Naam]

are those pills the good doctor prescribed now more than 10 Baht and therefore out of reach?

[12DrinkMore]

I

see

from this

discourse that Deejah

either writes increasingly longer

lines, but not sentences, or he posts with

diminishing length. I just wonder

if this is significant or shows

an artistic tendency which

to be honest, I do

find quite

funny

And to answer the original poster. Most of my money has moved East with me, although the Swiss are taking good care of a few CHF and a lump of AU.

[deejah]

There is only one PILL here thanks to you.

[deejah]

PILL

an unpleasant person, or a person who is difficult to deal with.

I have never used the ignore function but I can see how it might really come in handy.

Back to the OP's (whomever that may be) topic and the dreaded 10 baht issue,

Where else on this good earth can you get a decent meal for about 33 cents US?

No idea, not in Thailand or any country I have recently visited.

10 Baht for a decent meal?

No, sorry, if I drive a few kilometers I can pay maybe 30 Baht for a "Khao Man Gai" including soup. But that exceeds your budget by 200%, and with the high price of fuel will add 50 Baht or so to the cost.

I do appreciate your point that Thailand offers very good value for money. But you are taking it to the extreme.

[Naam]

i wouldn't let anybody who eats "decent" meals which cost 10 Baht touch my dogs.

reason: that "anybody" must be also saving on showers because water and soap are expensive

Perhaps contrast between those who have decades of previous work/savings/investments and a continuing strategy against inflation and cost of living increases to deal with a 5 to 10 Baht fluctuation..... and those who are no so well positioned. Vast range of categories and interesting stories therein.

Not forgetting those who may be well positioned but (as you do) take on local frugality for own purposes, then again, nobody likes to pay more if the same/similar is available for less, and nobody likes to be viewed as the dumb farang who pays more out of ignorance.
