swissie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 This might be of interest to Farangs, contemplating to run with Thai GF into the deepest corner of rural Thailand , with the purpose to leading a live in harmony and happiness Initial cost: 2.5 Mil Bht for house, 500'000 Bht for new pick-up = 3 Million bht as a start-up price. Start-up cost 3 million bht. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shock therapy: With this amount the humble Farang could enjoy nightly enjoyment and companionship for about 8,5 years. If reduced to 1 time per week enjoyment, it would probably surpass the live expectancy of the average Farang by far. Will not sit well with 90% of Farangs here. They are here for the Temples and the Finnish-Sauna-Like Weather 9 months out of the year. AND: "How dare you, bringing "love" into a mathematical context". Well, I know a good number of Farangs, that wish they had looked at the "Thai-Love-Factor" beforehand, including the mathematics. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Deepest corner or Rural Thailand should be very cheap. It's either a huge house on a massive plot of land or a rip off over priced house for the foreign market. Are you building it yourself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either a huge house on a massive plot of land or a rip off over priced house for the foreign market. Are you building it yourself ? Shoulda - Coulda but it's not. It's not just the size of the house but, method of construction. Materials don't get cheaper the furthur you go. You can spend 2 mil. or 500,000 baht - up to you. But Swissie is right on with his thought. Cost of new pick-up is way low though - closer to 800,000 to 1 mil for nicer one. Of course it's much cheaper to rent and I don't mean the house.

crazygreg44 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 your bill is not complete. You forgot to include that a farang running free will eventually end up in a barstool, and spending a fortune worth in booze. Don't tell me that living in LOS will make him any more disciplined than he used to be. A Thai wife who keeps reminding you that starting to drink at 8 in the morning will do you no good, is like a lottery ticket won ! i am of course now waiting for all the bashers to point that you don't need a Thai wife for all this wisdom. Yet you have to still give me a good explanation for all these free-of-time-and-wife hangers on who crowd the bars in world famous thai destinations . . . .

StreetCowboy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 What a disappointment I was expecting a post on Fermat's Last Theorem or Alan Turing's last paper on Microgenesis perhaps..sigh... There are too many posters that seem unable to deliver an OP that lives up to the title given it. There's more to life than mathematics (and, Escher-like, vise versa, probably) and certainly more to life than money. Personally, I find that there are certain benefits that come with establishing roots in a community in a way that cannot be achieved when you are forever at the landlord's whim, and similarly with relationships. I don;'t think I would like a rental mother for my children, and I am fairly sure they would like it still less. SC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC you just dont understand do you!, you have to rent the children too. actually they are free and are more than willing to laugh and smile and whats more you dont have to change their dirty diapers or get up in the night to see to their problems, you farm this part out to the habitual possessors.

Sam Gold Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 House built in rural area = 500,000 Down payment for a pickup = 100,000 Total = 600,000, not 3 million. You can't make a valid point if you grossly exaggerate figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make a valid point if you grossly exaggerate figures. That's exactly what I paid here in the rural area, we built a bungalow into a lush garden with a view to the mountains,sunrise and sunset, and it'd cost no more than 600,000. I now added a sports-venue with asnooker table and a selfmade concrete PingPong table, plus a two room guesthouse, we have spent a bit over a million and not 3 million, which of course would apply if the OP bought a townhouse in the next bigger village near his GF's farm. You can't just have the same life on a farm with the family and friends, as opposed to life on your own, on a stretch of Thailand good enough to host a foreigner to hang loose and "rent" into everything he needs, including sex. I am by far not a social drinker nor a bum staring into a glas but I am also not the saint as of whom the poster pinkie describes himself. I came here to get more relaxed as I have had to deal with people half of my lifetime, and I enjoy being enriched by a culture which got a different knick. and I haven't had to put 3 Million Baht into the parking meter for that . . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pinkie Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 clarification: it is you who attributes the word saint. me i don't consider myself any different to anybody else. the difference being that quite a long time ago now i decided that booze wasn't getting me to where i wanted to be and in fact was a hindrance. and that is still where i am today except i have achieved what i aspired too then and cant see any reason to rescind.

And somehow I doubt you're gonna get the same 6000 thb per month rent in10,20,30 years from now. Not to mention if maintained what the house value might be in 10,20 or 30 years..........
