80k....20k for a condo....10k for incidentals.....50k to spend....that's around 1700 Baht a day. Crikey I could spend that on breakfast. The question is how do you want to live? I could eat two 60 Baht meals a day and walk everywhere....not drink beer or visit Bangkok's wonderful restaurants. Get a TVpackage and sit at home drinking tea every night. OK it can now be done for 30k Baht a month.

Speaking of the price of beer, can anyone tell me where I can buy an empty tower to take home? I tried in Bkk and CM, but they wouldn't sell. Even a bargirl friend of the wife couldn't borrow one for me. They might be available from beer suppliers apparently. Unless I can employ a fellow Mango to act as a decoy for 10 seconds. I did see them at Makro once. But I did not take much notice as they were empty.

Why exactly would you want an empty beer tower? Well Monty, when I am over in October, I'll distract them and you take it and run, .

Thanks Ladies and Gents, I am glad we sorted that one out. So, where can I buy a draft beer kit in Thailand? Or at least some self-gassing beer cans? Probably a bit hard as that could get you arrested.
