You can't teach my kind of wankerism

Can sleep under a bridge and eat out of the trash can for next to nothing.

I estimate the cost of dignitaries visiting is considerable more.

As they say in Thailand "Up to you".

AirBnB or any other lodging website can get you a cost estimate for lodging.

Food will likely be no less than $5.00/US a day. But if you want to enjoy yourself you will want to budget no less than $15.00/US a day.

Getting around, walking is free, luxury transportation is quite a bit more.

Thailand is inexpensive but if you need to budget down to the penny. You may want to stay closer to home. Go visit a park or something

BAHAHAHHA. I had that problem in France. Your problem is not insurance but where you are putting you dink. I think you validate my point.

@Charles *******

I think you have it reversed?

I forget what I paid for my volunteer visa but I am sure it was quite a bit more. My marriage visa cost LOTS more (wife, immigration paperwork, marriage paperwork, blah blah blah).

65K is a great prices to stay in Thailand. 180/baht a day.

The two reasons EDU visa haven't appeal to me.

A) Tests, immigration monitored progress

B) It may raise flags when entering Thailand. I had an immigration officer once tell me the EDU visa, isn't the best option for someone like myself (48 years old).

HAHAHAHAH.. Or that one Farang that doesn't wear a mask while everybody else is wearing a mask.

Not being in the US

If it's a cat, you can freeze it and just put it in your suitcase.

Medical care here is pretty good. I would recommend taking the tike to the doctor. If that fails they sell liquor at 7

Are you taking the boat from Langkawi to Koh Lipe? I have wanted to try that travel path. Let me know how it goes.
