I totally agree! I'm not sure how much I like the poompoeey game, as I might be quite poompoeey, after Thai scale anyway. I love teaching my bf Thai because he's a genius at it and it will impress my family to no end afterward, hence making me look good. So, of course he knows the words urn, poom poeey, and moo-sam-san. (and farang kee nuk, but that's another story) When hanging out in a random bar in Phuket drinking our shares of chang beer, some farangs (I can't exactly remember where they were from, but I think they were brits) walks in with a very beautiful and fun spirited girl. We started talking to them, and they seemed very nice. As aforementioned this girl's pretty down with fun. She makes not so few jokes about our farang guys, until my bf quite innocently points his indexp finger to her stomach and says: "poom poeey?". The look on her face still make me giggle today. She wasn't poom poey of course, which only makes the ½ hour of looking rather pouty afterwards even funnier. (she told me later that she had gone from 42kgs when meeting them to 54kgs at the bar, which I guess is pretty much. Even at my fittest I don't think I've been under 54, since I was like 12, so I don't get it.) With that said, I'm pretty used to the "why you don't eat nid nid noi, you suay mak mak!?" so I think that in fact that it would be hilarious if all farangs as an opening line would say: "poom pooeey?" Oh 5555! I totally agree!

I'd agree that US$60K (about 1.8 million baht) would go very quickly. Unless you are 75 years old now, I'd suggest that you'll not make your goal without getting additional capital. How much more? I did a quick calculation assuming you retired at age 50: 60K baht per month X 12 months x 25 years = 18 million baht That comes to about US$580,000 if you ignore investment growth, and make all things fixed an equal. 60K baht per month is NOT living like a King. I'd say you'd want to double that estimate to 1.16 million if you wanted to live in a very relaxed fashion. Triple it to 1.74 million if you want to do a bit of traveling as well. Retire at age 62 and cut all those numbers for capital required in half: Basic 290K comfortable 580K plus travel: 870K These are obviously numbers that are rough as guts, just to give you a sense of how much money your realistically need to save. If you qualify for a pension, of course, that can make your capital last much longer.

I'd be surprised if $60k would last more than a year.. After he's forked out the $10k for the 1st class flight and another $20k for a years rent, that only leaves $30k for beer and whores. The rest of the cash he could just waste. I'd be interested to know how much cash I've blown each time a girl comes back to the 'crib' on:- 1) Toothbrushes 2) Girlie soaps 3) Liquid in that little green box?. 4) T-shirts 5) Kleenex Tissues 6) Girlie comic books (that they never read) :mrgreen: Ah, Doctorbond,… I’d be surprised if $60k would last more than a year..

But the trouble is, you won't be able to live like a Thai. Chances are you would spend between $2000 - $3000 per month - thus I would be a bit more generous than dw and say that it would last you 2 years - helluva two years though :) @rich – well, if you lived like a Thai i.e on about $400 – $500 a month then in theory you could live in Thailand for 10 years.
