"Living Like a Thai"

[cyrille]

Christ, is he off again?

[Maanaam]

...*snigger*...

Ahh, yes, my bad. Read your FTFY response badly.
Still, if you can't see that my usage is fine, you can go snigger at that as much as you like. There's far too many posters on here who can only comprehend very common usages. Lack of reading the classics is my guess, or lack of education.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

There's far too many posters

...there're = *snigger*...

[Maanaam]

...there're = *snigger*...

Got me again. You must be chuffed today. Mind you, it's pretty poor form to snigger at the English written by a non-native speaker

...nonsense: your English is free entertainment...

[Maanaam]

Not at all. You, Lu, and Cyrille are amongst the worst. Very common.

[Maanaam]

...nonsense: your English is free entertainment...

The entertainment is when common people make fun of what they don't know is correct.

Christ, is he off again?

He is, yes.

[HuangLao]

Thailand isn't cheap anymore for anyone.

Like anywhere, all dependent on lifestyle and priorities.

Manny, you are joking aren't you?. Your continual biting and bitching over you being attacked for your English, its a wind-up right?

You're playing into the game, Tooty.
Obviously, nutters shouldn't be taken too serious nor with literal cast.

However, usually, her comments are very helpful to the matter and explanative (or is correctly in English "expletive"?), eg. "ftfy", or something like this...

Damn manny is off the rails. Reckons he is better than all of us.. First sign of being a loser.

But there is mention in the OP, and you quoted my post with your utter buffoon remark, and that post also mentioned the 28k.

Here you are defending your comparison: 28k Thai family income vs the living cost of a single falang.

You're now introducing a stupid comparison that nobody has made. The OP, the article referred to in the OP, and everyone else here knows full well that the Thai stats of wages refers to the earnings of individuals and in this thread is being compared to individual foreigners.

Here you are in the same paragraph denying you made any such comparison: 28k Thai family income vs the living cost of a single falang. And, that the comparison should be individual vs individual.

I'm glad you've now finally caught up with yourself and agree your comparison was stupid.

Indeed it is racial presumption to state that an individual who is non-Thai can not survive on anything less than 64k where the average Thai income is a quarter of that.

But, now you've pulled the number 64k from your ass. which is neither mentioned in the OP nor in the stats link?

[Maanaam]

^^ You're inability to comprehend is shocking.

Thai government says as a foreigner just “Ain't No Way” you need considerably more…
Monthly 65k/

Yes, I misquoted when I said 64k, it was 65. Negligible. Sorry you couldn't think just a tad laterally and realise I'd written 64 instead of 65.

[tomcat]

Sorry you couldn't think just a tad laterally

...so, that accounts for the "there is, there are" confusion: a lack of lateral thinking...*snigger*...

...*muffled guffaw*...
No, that doesn't account for it at all.

[Luigi]

The lack of education?
The low level of intelligence?

The meth?



Hmmmmmm.

[TizMe]

Live like a Thai?
I could live like Tos Chirathivat or Chalerm Yoovidhya. Easy!

You've pulled so many random numbers out your ass even you've lost track.

The only number that matters is the 14k/month average Thai salary against what a falang needs to live for a month.

Now you're saying a 1000 baht is negligible ...but, you claimed earlier in the thread that both a Thai and a falang could fund food and vices for a month on just 1400 baht, and that any suggestion to the contrary was somehow racist??

That's qute racially presumptuous. But no surprise coming from the Thai govt.
Necessitites; Rent, 5k. Internet, 1k. Electricity, 1.2k. water <.4k . Rainy day/odd expenses, 5k. That's 12.6k giving one whatever for food and vices, depending on your tastes and level of sin.

[Maanaam]

Now you're saying a 1000 baht is negligible

Negligible to the discussion at hand, FFS! You wanted to strike a blow by saying 64 was never mentioned. Could have been a typo. It wasn't, I simply remembered incorrectly.
There's no point in discussing this with you. Lets just say you're completely right on every point and I'm a buffoon.
Done.

[cyrille]

I'm a buffoon.

An unexpected moment of clarity.
