Yes the currency you're earning vs. the country (currency) you're spending can maximise the value if your base currency is always appreciating.
Being earning Mao papers many years.
Now China's currency getting stronger and stronger.

Private transport ownership is definitely cheaper than Singapore.
Aside from monetary concerns don't forget about the traffic jams in Bangkok.
Chiang Mai of course don't have this problem.
To me vehicle ownership is a liability unless you're earning an income from it.
Eg. Car rental, goods delivery, etc. Pick up Arp Nam or G-Club girls after they knock off no count hor.
Taking taxis or car rental (no maintenance required) when required or MRT will save more money.
Used to read much on human anatomy during school daz as dreaming of becoming a gynae.
One less offensive way to check is to ask potential LB to clench her non writing hand and see whether her middle knuckle protrudes out. Males, no matter how dainty they are, have this trait.
Real woman who have this trait are restricted to those who learn hard martial arts like Karatae.
Hope this helps. Remember, non writing hand.
wow interesting...did'nt know that.
Will try experiment this ...
OK Bro, but always be aware that there may be exceptions (e.g. women suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis - although unlikely that such women would continue to be WL/FL....)

Would you choose thermae or nana if u can only go to 1 place? Which has more gems and less LB?
One can't really compare the two. Thermae is just ONE drinks pickup joint measuring say 250sqm. Nana is a complete multi establishment 3storey entertainment complex of aggs, beer bars, restaurants, street food vendors, mps.
So by size alone, nana would have more gems.
And oh, if u are looking for gems in Thermae, don't hold your breath
The above article is using statistics available widely on the internet.
The real costs of living hur hur let's begin.....
Please chip in your comments.
Just don't kpkb Agogo Bar girls very expensive because you're a willing sucker!
Bangkok is a big city..like Singapore is a big city. The smart ones move away from Bangkok..Thailand is such a big country. Once you live here..you wont want to cheong as a tourist. Being 'expats' here there are more to see..more to know..and if you do not have a live in gf or wife..there are a whole lot of possibilities. You have a phone book big big with many contacts. No need look for girls..they come look for you..even recommend their friends to you.
Having a car here is not really a luxury...I have my pick up becos I cannot afford one in spore and it gives me freedom..Freedom to travel and explore. At my age..we want enjoy a bit more..and we deserve it. Why have money but not spend ?Younger folks may not have accumulated enough so living in Thailand may not seem so attractive . Have to budget more..have to work still.
I believe that if a person is single..take advantage of HDB. Rent that property and its enough to have a simple life here.
I spend less tha SGD 1000 per month on food..accommodation..and maintaining my pick up and 2 motorbikes..any one of which I sometimes rent out to friends and customers.
Girls and entertainment is up to me..this would be the single biggest expenditure for any single guy here. I for one never get for free..always paid..not interested in the free ones...if there is such a term..cos I am a believer that the free ones will end up the most expensive in the long run.
Basically what I am trying to say is I would not live in Bangkok. Sure can come Bangkok for a short visit..but elsewhere in Thailand you can grt a much better quality of life anytime compared to back in spore.
Parking in Thailand = mostly free or 20-40 baht 3 hours (SGD 20-30/month)
Parking in Singapore = SGD 400-500/month ??
insurance, road tax, car wash, petrol, etc also cheaper. And after 10 years if sell away still can get around 30% resale value.
My 2nd hand Vigo..3 ltr Diesel turbo..500 k baht. Just renewed roadtax..5000 baht..I wash myself..treat it as exercise.
Last month thought I want sell it away..but thought otherwise. Enjoyed my monthly trips out of Pattaya too much. Will drive to Chiangmai see you..blanja you the fried chicken rice..but have to wait till after this high season.

We all pay, one way or the other. It's better to pay upfront, it's only money. If you have to pay later, it might be more than money (i.e. time, stress, emotion and pregnancy )
Don't forget our SBF mantra, Find, Fxxk and Forget

I can honestly relate to this..if we all follow ths 3Fs...we all will be much much happier..and so will the girls.
I always loved this reply by a WL..to a potential customer who insisted on knowing whether she has a boyfriend...she told him off by saying...' Why you want to know if I have boyfriend ? You want fuck me or you want fuck my boyfriend?...a real classic..
Maybe I should start a Joke Thread..honestly I have a whole library of funny stories..
