Beetlejuice Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 You’re not being ripped off, but nevertheless I would advise against it. These schemes are designed for poor Thai people. Hopefully you have many good healthy years ahead of you, but if in the event of your death, the scheme would just about cover you for a rubbish tip location incineration job funeral. Meaning, your coffin and body is taken to a site that bears many similarities to a rubbish tip, coffin laid out on a cemented area, people come along and throw old rubber tyres, bits of wood and paper onto the coffin, which is then splashed with petrol and set alight. If you’re happy with that, than fine, go ahead and join the scheme. Personally for me, although I would be dead, I still prefer to go out in a more dignified fashion than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If a cost issue be sure to leave the wife a can of petrol and a box of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahvail Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 20 baht a month per head in this village. It's not expected to cover the whole cost, that's what the envelopes are for. Think of it as a type of lotto...if they're "dropping like Thais" there won't be much in the kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenslegs Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Pay the 500B joining fee + 20B per month and look happy. You will be helping the less well off in your village and, when you are dead, you will not even notice the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 20 b per month. You're getting done over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 20 b per month. You're getting done over. Agreed. The OP should cement his status as village cheap Charlie and barter them down. Tell them you'll pay 375 up front and 14 baht and 25 satang per month. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not expected to cover the whole cost, that's what the envelopes are for I thought thats what the farangs were for after reading some one the posts on here and some of the expenses involved. It costs a fortune to keep up with the Somchais these days, family must have big face in the village. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
