Wait. Seriously? You two have never met someone who graduated college and started their own business? And what makes you think I'm a "he"? Or an unmarried "he" for that matter?

Where the heck did the marriage comment come from anyway, Naam? Even if you thought I was a broke (male) loser, is there some place on Earth where broke losers don't get married? ... Because where I come from we seem to have plenty -- and Thailand isn't exactly ground zero for power-marriages.

"never had a boss" laugh.png

OP, this is NOYFB!

Why do I keep seeing these ridiculous topics come up all the time in General?

Where are you from?

Why are you in Thailand?

What do you do all day?

Where did you meet your wife/GF

Where do you live

Why do Thai people ......

ETC.

Seriously, <deleted>.

This idiot really expects to datamine everybody on here?

Come on, tell us.

You know you want to...

The OP's mistake was not making it a poll to keep it private. Not too many are willing to post in public what they are making or if they do, exaggerate it. biggrin.png

Are you suggesting people dont lie in TV polls ?...biggrin.png

Think the last time we had a "how much money do you make" poll I was very suprised to learn that greater than 60% of TV members are multi-millionaires in USD terms...tongue.png

I am multi-M$$$ in Thailand... piss poor here in US! coffee1.gif

Well, you see, years ago I picked up this idea form SouthEast Asia. The idea gnawed at my insides, as, I suppose, as a carnivore may scrape off pieces of flesh from inside the lower ribs of a rotting carcass. It seemed as unlikely as a pig sprouting wings and taking to the air, soaring high above the world...close to the sun, and dropping pieces of bacon on fortunate homeowners, just in time for breakfast.

The idea was agriculturally sound...but the transmutation of seedlings took a considerable amount of thought and effort. I joined a partnership with Haliburton, and had George Bush working as my financial advisor/marketing manager. We chipped in a small fortune and bought a vast amount of land in the southwestern United States. This land was known as an ancient Indian burial ground, and emanated all sorts of shockingly magical powers.

After purchasing expensive diving apparati, we pulled out some old charts that we found near the Aztec Hall of Montezuma, and were fortunate enough to find the Lost city of Atlantis. Of course, there was a Ceramic Jar loaded with mysterious seeds...the color of mint jelly.

Well, the rest of the story is history. George and I went back to our vast property, planted the seeds, and to our utter bewilderment, Huge Trees with gnarley branches sprouted up, within days! I cannot tell you how shocked I was that spring, as the leaves turned from golden budlings to 100 USD bills.

Yes, money trees exist....but alien spaceships now guard the orchard, and I sometimes fly back there to harvest a few baskets. As you may suspect, I do not bother counting how many I pick each time...so your question is difficult for me to answer!

...this is abusive.....

A wise man once told me not to take anything seriously in General Discussion - he was right.

Right now, I'm bored and I want April to roll around on my calendar - when that blessed day comes, I want you to promise me that you'll shoot me if you see me hanging around GD :D

Why would anyone report personal business to YOU......MYOB............Looks like a SCAM post.

Apparently a lot of people on this forum earn substantially more than most of the other farangs that they meet, and they are proud to tell us so.

I'm guessing that is because they are the sort of person that readily gravitates towards the deadwoods and drifters

SC

Just lost my job

You'll have to take my word for it that I want nothing other than the statistics themselves rolleyes.gif width=20 alt=rolleyes.gif>

Personally, I'm a 25 year old working in Thailand. I'm a marketing consultant with a 65k+ Baht per month salary (works out to about 80k if you add up the year end bonus).

My income is more than that and I don't have to do a anything except drink coffee and read the news coffee1.gif

Age 34.

564k p/m before tax and bonuses.

Overseas hire 10 years ago.

My gal has friends who keep wanting to see our car, our house, and whatever else we got. Then, when they know they got the advantage (New Car/Newly purchased home, etc), they try to get us to come over. It really makes me wonder.

I'm 38, male rent boy by trade.... I plough my trade on the streets in bangkok and I roughly earn between 150-200 baht per transaction. On a good month I can earn 800 baht! I hope this helps

Always nice to hear of someone who has taken it in their head to make a honest baht... but where were you on last trip... when I really needed you? cheesy.gif

Thanks OP for giving us a subject that can be approached with humor... so tired of politics... and everyday murders... but after a good laugh we must all return to reality... w00t.gif

Is it any of yer flippin' business how much anyone else makes? Get a life, man.

Is "marketing consultant" the same as telemarketer?

Yes, the question you posed in the first message sounds like something that someone of your pay grade would ask and expect to get any honest answers.

Not before you tell me how much you earn.

I am a rich man with the looks of a male model and the body of a god ,(or so i am told by so many wide eyed young women when i walk down soi 6) myself i thaught i was old ,poor and with the body of Bhudda ,but here in Pattaya it seems not so.

Up to you, hansum man ! ;)

Farang salaries: how much do you make?

None of your business.

You don't want much do you?

I received a PM from the OP asking for my bank details - apparently he has a surefire investment he's interested in sharing with high net-worth individuals like myself. Looks like my ship really has come in - I'll send you a postcard from the Cayman Islands.

Turks and Caicos are better. w00t.gif

I understand there is some guy called "George" here In LoS who runs an expat forum and earns easily ThB 25,000 per month advertising revenue. Woo-oo

What, I heard not a word about simply being a hansum man and making money from the girls.

Why does the OP want to know what others are earning? I can understand a teacher wanting to know what other teachers are getting. That makes sense. But in general it is irrelevant unless undertaking some systematic research which s/he isn't.

Enlish tacher

I earn 35 thausand bath per month.

My rent is 8000 per month, which lets me have at least two or three long times per month before food. I beer at 7-11 . Leo is the best.

Funny

Not smart to talk about farang income in the open. Thais are pissed off enough as it is with how much we make even if you are teacher.

Salaries? Bosses?

I'm happy to say I have never had either.

What's prison life like now days?

he also never married.

Wait. Seriously? You two have never met someone who graduated college and started their own business? And what makes you think I'm a "he"? Or an unmarried "he" for that matter?

sir/madam/khap/kha

Stupid question of OP... coffee1.gif
