Live in Paradise for 600 Bucks a Month? Take me to Thailand

The food is delicious and healthy in Thailand, the best of any kind. Most of the meals is usually some chicken, pork or beef with some rice like the other poster said.

Thailand caters to the nature types or the city dwellers, and I for one can't wait to go back there as this article has served some motivation for me.

awe i know one i started reading this htread id wanna go see for myself!

lol, I thought I was the only who got motivated reading the article at the blog. Let's see part 2 so I can confirm my motivation.

I envy you right now but I applaud you for making the choice to be in Thailand. To be surrounded with picturesque views in a peaceful place is truly bliss.

My dad goes every year in fact he's there last week.

He goes for business but it is his favorite place in the world he's been telling me for years

Anyone knows what the law is when trying to bring actual physical silver coins is? I don't have tons of them but do have a good amount I may want to bring. Wonder what duty tax is like at customs

Thats fine, Ill take that offer

Count me in as for this article being really eye opening. Enjoyable read and hopefully the experiment works out for author on his blog (I think its a guy, lol)

Going to Thailand to visit was the best vacation I ever had. Will bookmark this blog and check updates as i want to get more info on living in these countries

I have traveled with silver coin into Thailand. No problem. No one asked. I have flown in and out with them. US silver coins are money. Just like a dollar bill. I brought about $100 dollars worth face value last time. no problem. Fly into bangkok and go through customs there, its a lot easier. The smaller airports can be more of a hassle.

Oh, there is a place at customs. One side for declared item and one for nothing to declare. Go through the nothing to declare side.

Well if you get over here stop in for a beer or a visit. More info if you like. let me know. I can post an email and then delete it after you have seen it.

Get out of the trailer much? Thai food is the best in the world.

stay the fuck out of there!!

they routinely kill foreigners because they know they may have some $$ and because the cops are corrupt most of these cases are ruled a suicide. like falling head first from 10, 20 or 30 story's.

check out best gore dot come and u will see countless cases like I just described.

I wouldn't even go there for a vacation after I learned how corrupt and vile the Thai public and police are.

this also goes for brazil. barbaric people and murderers.

Vietnam and Cambodia are 100 times better

$600 a week and you'd be living like one of those scungy, tye-died pants backpacker types who haggle over a few baht and live in cockroach-infested dorms, thinking it's hardcore (but hating it).

You must be joking. lol

I lived in a two bedroom house for a year. Beautiful tile floors, built in kitchen cabinets, dining room, living room and two bathrooms for 175usd a month. You have to look around to find this. Average for people not in the know is about $300 a month for even a nicer place in a gated community. Rofl why are you putting out such BS

What are some ways to earn income over there? Sounds like you started your own business. What kind of things do others from the West find works?

Why on Earth would you want to move to the U.S.? I've been around the block in my 35 years and I prefer every place I've visited over America.

I meant 600/month. But still, it's not BS.

Lets say you go right down market and pay 300/mnth rent. That leaves you 300 about $80/week or $11-12 a day for all your outgoings. That's chicken shit, and you'd be scumming i to live half way decent anywhere in Asia on that, let alone Thailand.

Sure, you can eak out a living on rice and shit, but that aint no fun. You have to think about medical insurance, phone, transport, nights out at a bar, general bills etc etc.

I'm telling you, it's not worth scumming it on a 'budget'. It gets old after about 1 week.

Yeah...lots of interesting things go on in Thailand. But usually...Americans only go there for ONE thing. I hope you're not one of those.

LOL, I think I know your place... football fan right? China poster, - this place is flooded with Chinese tourists now... we're making good money from the trust fund Chinese. Some guys here can't live on less than $2000 a month, others make do on $1000 or less and party every night... if you live in the jungle you get your food for next to nothing, and no tax man breathing down your neck :P What do you need money for? Healthcare is world class, food, utilities etc... only trouble is whitey is a second class citizen here... but that's no biggie - cos I know it's just penis envy

I AM one of "those". Once I find an honest and pretty girlfriend that wants sex every day(real girl from birth only), then I can enjoy the scenery, lifestyle, culture, etc. Without the girl, nothing else is worth bothering with.

Well, let's see what the Thai men say about that.

There's not a single real Thai man commenting on this thread.



Well, least you're disgustingly honest.

I have lived in Phuket and Bangkok. Its fucking awesome place and very cheap.

I am going for 1 month in November as I do each year.

Lovin it....

Lol!! Please!!

That's like saying people go to Southern California for one thing (tourist attractions ) or people go to Vegas for one thing (gambling) or wherever!

Stop being some type of Moral Mary. If a guy wants to get laid so be it! News flash, guys been wanting sex for how many thousands of years?!
As long as a guy respects people and their culture then it's all good as far what they want to do!

When guys go out a night to bang here in the states, that's his business as long he respects his surrounding



Wow, people on some moral agenda, lol

I personally enjoy the blog and article, how about the next part

Had some delicious Thai Pumpkin Curry with chicken and really thought about this article and thread, lol. Thai food is the best

My preference is Panang Curry with sticky rice. Talk about heaven.

Posted wrong thread but just saying I feel like I want to live there after reading this

I think the food alone is it worth it just to live there! Sticky rice and mango, yum!
