thatīs correct - but he is talking about a family. and with wife and 2 kids it is not really realistic exept you do not care the education your kids will get fro free and donīt plan with medical costs or other emergencies.

i know europeans who can live in thailand for 1000 us per month - and it works.
it always depend on what you expect from life and you can never compare thais with europeans.

thais are living today and they dod not care if they suffer tomorrow.
thais are mostly living the buddhist way - they give you but they expect to get back what they gave you.

i personally admire this way of thinking but i am not able to think this way becasue i gorw up in the western world.

i think there are only 2 options: to love it or hate thailand. i personally love thailand and thatīs because i can accept many things what are not part of my own personality or conviction and they can do the same.
