    A lazy million Baht, how would you treat yourself?.

    Let's say you received a bonus of around 1 Million Baht, and decided that seeing as it was an unexpected windfall, you're going to spend it on yourself. In this completely hypothetical situation, you live in Thailand, already have the wheels you want, condo/furniture/AV system you want, and aren't interested in travel any more.

    So what does that leave?. How would you spend the money in a way that would make you the most happy?.

    No travel? Bummer! Can't imagine me ever losing interest in that...
    OK then, hypothetically, some nice art to put in my hypothetical condo and some old first edition books to fill some gaps in the shelves, some decent cookware and some donations to charity. Should just manage that on a modest (books & art wise) scale with 1 million baht

    Since it would be considered a windfall and nothing lost, I might spread half expanding on family's horticulture/agricultural pursuits - the other half would be created educational trusts for the girls.

    Throw a big ol' party for the family and spend the rest on various odds and ends. Or maybe buy more farmland, can never have enough land right?

    How about a grotto like in the playboy mansion? 1 million in thailand would build a kickass mancave!

    I'd give it to my missus. Then I'd like to see what she does with it. If she spends the lot then I know that the things I've tried to teach her over the last 9 years was a waste of time.

    Same as one does with any windfall. Nothing for a few months or a year and then at the time one finds something specific, use it then.

    I would use it to secure a room for a year at the Eastern & Orient Hotel in Georgetown, Penang where I would repose in elegant and joyful isolation using it as a delightful decompression chamber from Thai foolishness, whenever I wished.

    i don't think that breaks the rule of no travel in your fantasy, sort of...
