each to their own I guess :)

lol.. that’s actually not really possible. I mean 94k in BKK if one has decent standard of living is easily spent.

@Hans ********

Comfortable is pretty subjective :)

I’d be uncomfortable on $2000 but obviously everyone has different expectations.

Nice of you to reply with a 😂 emoji champ. I guess when you don’t have much else to fall back on then thats an approach :)

@Chris *****

Amusingly a Thai business associate of mine has a Gik who is from Buriram who makes a ton of money from a short time hotel she’s built in Buriram to cater to exactly what you seem to think only goes on in Pattaya :)

But you’d know that given your expertise in all things Isaan and Buriram I guess :)

@Chris *****

Again you might need to broaden your horizons champ.

@Jay ***

Or live in a nice condo in Bangkok and enjoy eating out at the higher end restaurants and like the nicer things in life in which case it won’t be enough.

The notion that you can’t spend 90k baht a month unless you are a drunk womaniser is pretty lame and reflects a narrow perspective.

Thanks for making my point.

It’s very sad that those Thai and Cambodian people have died.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the question asked by the OP. You know that. But sure, you are the guardian of moral virtue on here. 🙂

When someone asks how to get to Pattaya from Bangkok do you respond with “The roads are dangerous, 60 Thai people died on the roads yesterday, show some respect!” or do you just tell them you can drive it in about 2 hours?

@Jo *********

There’s nothing to worry about for tourists who aren’t heading within 50km of the Cambodian border. You know that’s the context of the question. And your “show some respect” comment is asinine in that context and typical of those called out who instead of acknowledging they’ve been called out clamour for the moral high ground.

Try being an adult.

@Chris *****

Subjective. Parts of Isaan are ok and much of Isaan is pretty poor and dire for an actual holiday or to live. Also there are areas in and around Pattaya that are nice, including some very decent places to stay. Which is why so many Thais stay there. Of course if you are knee deep with cheap Charlies in Soi 6 that’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.

But perhaps broaden your mind rather than spitting out contextless drivel?
