What's a decent monthly wage for Bangkok?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

There is a huge difference between someone with 20 years experience and someone with 1 years experience repeated 20 times.

your still getting it all wrong, Being here longer does not make you MORE SUPERIOR, ( although i am far superior to Vlad :stir: ) being here longer ONLY Means u have seen more and can remember when it was....

does not make u a better or worse person.

Saigonasshole recalls 2010 and makes it out like its the "good old days"
fuck, i recall 1988 in Cambodia and they were NOT good old days for 98% of the population
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

how long youve been here dosnt make you superior, how much youve integrated plays a bigger trump card

someone whos been coming here for holidays for 7 years, who gets scammed, ripped off all the time and generally has a bad experience all the time, doesnt fall into any of them categories im afraid

I been working in Cambodia , mostly drink with locals and avoid barangs when possible, most barangs are OK but the ones living there generally fall into one of the categories below.
Have horrible alcohol issues, mental illness, disease, money problems, suicidal tendencies,have failing livers,bipolar,drug addicted or just riddled with problems.......

I been minding bars there trust me I see a lot of completely fucked up people come through that part of the planet and I wouldn't boast being one.

The funniest to me are the ones that couldn't even make it here, but still feel supremely qualified to talk about expats here from their country of origin, LOL

You get all types here, but you also get good people, I have met many.

Probably the only way to make it in the future in Snookyville is to learn to speak Mandarin.

I'd say in the world within 10/15 years.

Some bright spark will make a good app though

Also given the rate that currency is potentially shifting to crypto it could be used to destabilise other countries currencies, namely the USD... It would clearly take a lot for it to happen, but don't rule it out.
