you have found an enormous amount of info on it- will take me some time to look at those sites.
ReplyDeleteI think all discussions in those [gay] fora all boil down to: its not can IT? but ; Can I? Too many only post to show off their wealth.
You are smart enough to have discovered it can surely be done [10/11/12k/mo] IF you live cheaply=no AC and do not pay excessive for the pleasures of the flesh.
Most Thais are living proof that you can live (survive) in Thailand on about 10,000 baht per month. The more important question for a foreigner choosing to live in Thailand, on the other hand, is how much you need to have "a good life". And that depends a lot on preferences and lifestyle choices - there's no magic number that fits all.
ReplyDeleteI actually admired your calm in the face of those ' controversial discussions" on other boards as some of comments were outright rude and assholish.
ReplyDeleteWhile a bit too detailed I found your expense reports quite usefull. Great mine of budgeting in this thread as well, great job.
