How much as a single guy late fifties who smokes ,drinks and chases girls need to live on . Is it better to rent a studio or a guest house . What would be a ball park figure to use ?.

champers Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 50 grand a month, 10 a month on accommodation, 40 on fun and frolics. Get a nice studio off airbnb. If you stick to st rather than lt, you should avoid extra costs like gold, clothes, children's toys and vets bill for buffalos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If you are overweight, smokes, drinks and want girls to call you hansum, you come to the right place. Just watch out for the high heeled ladyboys. They are looking for easy, drunk victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Firstly, I doubt you can stay for 4 months, but a two month tourist visa and a 30 day extension will guarantee you a hassle free 3 months. As for budget, it really depends on where you stay and how ferocious your appetite is for food, drink and the other. 60,000 - 80,000 per month should cover it for a moderate person.

Can easily stay 4 months on a TV and a visit to another country at the end of said TV for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original gig for 6 months was to do an SETV, Extend, then get another SETV and extend (or do a border run). By border run I mean go somewhere and hang out for a week or two. This year I am now on an Codger Extension. that takes me to Jan 2020 when I will either do a border run and extend or get another SETV and extend.

Chivas Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Going by the OP and bearing in mind age you have to be looking at 6000 a day all up minimum and that can very easily become 8000 and certainly a lot more but we'll work on minimum So taking into account exchange rates around £150 a day minimum so £4500 a month so looking at around £18,000 for a 4 month stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would be the first few days , but he would get bored of that after a week or two . After two weeks , he would probably go tee total and lose all interest in prostitutes So, after the third week, his expenses would probably get down to 2000 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
