Hi,
When I talk with people who want to retire or start some business here they should calculate for minimum 40,000 baht month for living a decent life.
Ofcourse you cant live "holiday" life with drinking and barfining every night, most expats settle down with a nice girl or if they live single bf a girl once or twice a week or establish long term relationship with some bargirls who is a kind of girlfriend but still not a girlfriend.
For myself I would not like to live here without doing something, let it be a small business or a hobby. I run a bar and also like to work with internet in the daytime and now I am starting to learn photograpy. I also like to play golf or do diving ocassionally and other tourist things with friends.
Many expats may go out often but drink less and pay less, just to meet friends or chit chat with the girls without barfining them. This is also a good way to look for a girl you really like.
Everybody is different so you have to find your own way to make a life you enjoy and suits your budget.
