What do you buy online mostly ?
Example (I voted "other"): I go to a brick-and-mortar store, knowing I have less than 50% chance of getting "Imperial Leather" soap, - or - I go to Lazada and know I will have it delivered to my home in two days for a nominal fee. I only go to Makro for fresh or frozen veggies, dairy, and printer paper. Lotus for tomatoes and onions (why they have the best here I'll never know). Virtually everything else is Lazada. I got fed up battling traffic just to find the shelves empty of the items I needed. -

Why Are You Even Here? The Surprising Attitudes of Some Expats in Thailand
2 biggest reasons - affordability and companionship. having got divorced at 59, little chance of much choice when it comes to companionship in the UK; already had interested females to choose from in Thailand. Leaving the house to ex-wife (thus preserving my pension) allowed me to live in Thailand, when i would have been basically homeless in the UK. Weather - not a big deal, cool season is OK for 4 months, rest of year too hot during the day. Other reasons - can have garden to potter about in, and my own fishing ponds. Thai language - i have poor hearing, so cannot get the Thai tones and was never good at languages (although i have tried to learn about 10). Can say a few essential phrases but gave up trying to LEARN the language about 7 years ago. The Thai alphabet doesn't help. Culture - do not like Plaa raa or chilli, so although i do eat some Thai food it is limited. Being back in UK for a couple of months, have to say Home cooking in UK is a lot tastier (not counting fast food); and Thais just cannot do bakery well. I am not a Buddhist, Temples are Ok for an hour or 2, but that is the limit. If i was a lot richer i doubt i would be here. i did contemplate alternatives but my pension was the limiting factor. Back in the UK now i find it incredibly expensive, prices have doubled, pension not so much. I have been contemplating the last year if i should go back to UK for long periods (pre-Covid did every year for a couple of months) but realise now that unless i win the lottery it isn't going to happen. maybe a few more trips to UK to see my children and then, for health reasons, do not expect to be able to do so in about 3 or 4 years. Then i will stay in Thailand (or just possible UK) until i die. -

Baht down
Did you go to a bank exchange as 21.73 is the exact rate Krungsri Bank offered for A$ cash yesterday. Meanwhile TT Exchange was 22.05 here in Pattaya, which is why no-one should use the bank exchanges . -
