zierf1 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 What will happen if you get sick or have an accident ? So you need a hospital govt hospital. good enough for me. What taxes do you pay in Thailand that makes you feel like you're entitled to use such facilities? VAT for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What taxes do you pay in Thailand that makes you feel like you're entitled to use such facilities? westerners can use Government hospitals just they have to pay full price as they (we) don´t have the 30baht card.

DerekMarshall Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 To all the young viewers "tuning in" from international water (outside of Thailand) Don't let any "cheap charlie" farang fool you to come here and live for 100 baht a day budget (about $ 3). 1. You can't get any visa for living in Thailand being under 50 and having that budget. 2. You can't afford to do any visa runs to other countries with that budget 3. You have to live like a bum or a very poor peasant 1) not correct 100%. If you have family/married and have 400k in the bank (regardless of your 100 baht a day food thing) you can get a year long visa extension for 1900 Baht. 2) see above, visa runs may not be required. 3) true! Still on that budget not going to be able to afford to go to class and learn Thai properly. We could do with less "Kii Nok farangs" in Thailand.

Looks like a good place from the outside, definitely a good deal Viewers Normally it's not interesting to see other people's apartments. But when somebody make 50 posts here about their fantastic apartment in Pattaya that cost nearly nothing and have free wifi it can be interesting.

dogpatch55 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hello Viewers! Well to all our viewers " tuning in " from international waters ( outside of Thailand ) who are thinking of coming to live in Thailand and of course living on a 100 baht a day budget then my advice is to " Just do it ! " Life is so short so " education,qualifications and proper jobs ( with a shirt and tie ) are all " unimportant " in life! Just get out there and be happy and have a laugh! If you are low on funds ( i am also included..) then get yourself a job in Thailand.You really don't need much to live on as you can see from many " nice people " on Thai Visa ( " myself ".... ) But the best advice is to NOT wait until you are 65 years old! this is absolutely " bloody stupid " as not only is Thailand's farang community starting to look like " Gods waiting room " ... But also at 65 years and older you are quite simply " out of the game "( kind respect to all the old people or even if you do feel a bit old...) I moved abroad when i was 26 years old ( i am now 50 ) This morning when i went out for a morning stroll ( rather pleasant may i add ) i spotted one old farang who looked like " Albert Steptoe " and just made me realize how young i feel! So just enjoy life while you are still young! Also if you do want to come to Thailand then remember that it has a wonderful " outdoor lifestyle " so don't waste it by sitting indoors all day ( like many farang ) get out and explore Thailand as it is a fab country with lovely (young) people! Farang Jaidee ( off for a gentle stroll to the beach..) Yeah good advice, but I think the old farang you saw would be a lot better off there than back in say the uk, stuck in some pokey council flat or even worse in a dismal old folks home!! lol.

farang000999 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What do you Cheap Charlies do all day? Stare at the Ocean? The trees? Post on Thai Visa but only from Free Wifi? Walk around shopping malls and enjoy the A/C and water fountains while leering at women without every buying anything (except from the food court, but not really because you could make it for less at home)? Are there actually women who want to be around someone like this with no ambition?

Do you live like this because you choose to or because you have no other choice? i mean is that really the only money you have to live on? Surely you must have some money tucked away for a rainy day? I would hate to just exist on a meager budget, i could not think of anything worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sick of hypocritical losers spouting off there green eyed nonsense, my hard earned tax money contributes to society and yes I choose to be materialistic because its a choice that Is mine. So your telling me that given the choice you would choose a 100 baht a night dorm room over a 30000 baht a night penthouse suite!

farang000999 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 basic economics. if carny were to start selling pencil drawings on the boardwalk for 50 baht and then spent that money at the coffee stand it would improve economic prosperity all around him... coffee man now spends that money on some shrimp and has to replace the coffee and milk factory has to hire workers to pick the coffee and do the paperwork fisherman has to higher workers to catch more shrimp workers send money home etc etc... so the idea that someone sitting around doing nothing all day is to the benefit of society or that frugality is good for an economy is bullshit.

Popular Post canarysun Posted October 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2014 Viewers! I don't really see what is wrong with my " hobbies & interests " I am just a non materialistic man enjoying a simple life doing the things i enjoy doing! I spend my days outdoors in the sun ( i couldn't spend all day indoors! ) I love walking ( out of choice ) I love train journeys ( out of choice as i find the roads uninteresting & dangerous ) and my bicycle ! i love the beach ( for the last 25 years! ) I love to socialize while strolling about and enjoy my photography too! I couldn't handle being in a " bar " ( just the thought makes me feel " twitchy " and i would get bored after just a few minutes! ) I love to cook and bake my own bread.I just love the Parks in Thailand (and there are some amazing ones too! ) I have been single for most of my life and did not come to Thailand for the women! ( i had years of that working as a holiday rep in Spain! ) The Thai ladies are beautiful and i enjoy chatting to them but i don't have much in common with most of them! ( apart from my interest in Temples and Buddha Meditation ) The biggest problem is i love being outside in the sun ( they do not ) I do not watch TV! ( they love it! ) i love train adventures ( most Thais do not! ) and many are way too materialistic for me! ( lol ) Many men cannot be alone for even 5 minutes but i have always lived alone ( and sometimes go off on adventures on my own or with a friend ) If you are living a life like myself then 100 baht a day is plenty to live on! Have a nice day viewers! Farang Jaidee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
