Bangkok Barry Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 1 hour ago, AlfHuy said: 2 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: My wife has travelled in Europe with me and loved the cooler weather, and the snow and the change of seasons (and I don't mean the change from hot to hotter to wet). Plenty of Thais feel as uncomfortable as we do in high heat and humidity. Secondly, they might also get the shock of their life that wages are 10x higher in Farangland. Expand Keep your horses back. 10X higher wages? That's a minimum of 100,000Baht a month. Not many countries where ppl earn that kind of money as min. wage. Well, I know people there who pay 40-60,000 baht a month rent in London. But then they aren't on minimum wage. The fact that Thais who live outside of Thailand have to do menial jobs for far less says all you need to know about the Thai education system. All most are fit for is being maids, or cooks or waitresses in Thai restaurants. Funny story. A young woman from my wife's village was visiting home from London and said she was the finance director of a Thai restaurant in London. The look of horror on her face when I told her I'd pop in to see her when I was next in London was something to behold. I imagine she might be a waitress or at best the cashier, or maybe she doesn't work in a restaurant at all........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Be very careful what yiu ask for ?????? "The grass is always greener on the others side of the fence" In saying that I would not be here if I was in my 30's. Limited opportunities at the right salary, but Mr Joe average must realize the cost of living in some of these countries is moving upwards at an alarming rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost me millions to find this out. How would you advise readers to own a house? Just by registering the house in your name as a foreigner, perfectly legal as the government allows foreigners to own houses. The illegal way of buying it through a non-operating, nominee Thai company isn't needed. Edited May 4, 2021 by Liverpool Lou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reporting ever and they have permanent residence as well, can buy property in their name and of course collect money from the Government if unemployed, even get a stimulus check.... And social security. I know a lot of Thais that have gone to the US, done their 10 years, and will get a check for the rest of their lives. Good for them!

Good afternoon ladies, My name is khun handsum. I am mid fourty (and up), good looking, sporty. I am easy going. I like family and days out. I like to walk at the beach, dining out and travel around Thailand, Asia, Europe etc. I love sporty cars. My friends tell me that I am an amazing person, always here to help and always a smile on my face. What am I looking for? A good looking lady, mid 30, educated, sporty, wealthy. If you like my profile, please forward me your updated bankbooks, pictures of your mansion and beach villa, cars etc. All I can give you is my heart, love, dedication. From you, I expect honesty, loyalty and that you never ask me for cash as this will destroy our feelings. I am sure we would spend amazing years together. If you feel that your moment has arrived, give me a call. Hurry up, first emails and calls coming through as I am writing this emotional statement. Love, Khun Big Heart. First candidate just replied. Hello handsome man. My name is Lou, recently divorced. I read your profile and am very much interested in knowing you better. You may ask now, why my English is above average. Well, I married a rich US citizen who owned a few factories. I lived in the US with him and before moving to Thailand, he sold his complete empire. His worth is around 150 Million Baht. We build a beautiful 500m2 house on a 2 rai piece of land on a beautiful island. We own a few penthouses in BKK. I'm driving a Ferrari Monza SP1 and a few other sporty cars. After having spend 6 years with my now "ex" husband, I decided it was the time to move on. I never really was attracted by his looks. He is 35 years older than me, drinks whisky and smokes those horrible Cuban cigars. I divorced him and all properties, cars are in my name. We settled and I gave him 150,000 baht and a 1 way ticket back to the US. I would love to meet you soon, Dear. I don't care about money. I am looking for a loyal, loving partner and I think you fit this profile 100%. With love and hugs, Lou Please call, can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
