We should convince him, that he would die much happier if he would share his etc-spendings with some of us, only occasionally of course. :mrgreen:

renewed my car insurance yesterday, i quessiment 20 k a year, which i know is high end, think 17 K and change last year, this year, 14317 baht, for 2 mill per person, 10 mill per incident, no deductable and 200 k for my passengers. 3300 no claim discount, less than last year, 1st time i could get as something usually happens every year. that's with ThaiSri insurance about 1 km south of ring/kk rd intersection.

toyota vios (2007), car originall bought for 540 K, insurance depreciated to 410 last year, and now 370, so kind of fair, 2 years old. 1st vios was ins. valued at 330, and needing renewal, toyota gave me 300 on trade in, so was very happy with that, as some more expensive regular maintenance was coming due for that one.

Ah yes, the HF200, I looked at that, quite a nice little model, but decided on the HF S10 instead. Very nice video quality but not so nice price tag. :shock:

That's bumped my living expenses up a little.

I've just started recording my day-to-day living expenses, I'll give an update at the end of the month...

Total monthly expenses 25173, inexpensive month, with couple extras.

No sure why food is half the usual, again, trying to use up all in house stock, though not really much, had a sore throat most of month, some loss appetite, but nothing major. Treated myself to a new pair of oaklieys 89 baht

Extras for the month were accommodations and clothes, inexpensive. Had some pharmacy purchased, buy unless a major medical expense, include in constants.

Dining out/beers, only 18 outings, mostly lunches, 4 w/beers.

out and about this month, so not sure if i'll keep track or not.

Thanks for posting. What was that LA treat of "oaklieys 89." I didn't see any charitable donations. Do you give to those people in the night market or outside 7/11 near the train station?

Thanks.
