    Applied to a place in Thailand and got a reply asking what kind of salary I would be expecting.
    Now I know they pay peanuts to locals but I would be looking at something not too bad that I could survive comfortably on but also not over the top and pricing myself out the job. Went on another forum and someone suggested 70,000bt a month which works out at about £330 a week, is that asking a bit much ?

    Would love to go for it but unsure how to answer the mail and keep the guy interested in me. It's building boats, grp and composite, vacuum bagging and other methods.

    Thanks in advance.

    I guess 1500 US dollars per month would be fine to feel yourself comfortabe in Thai
    I believe that I can live there for 500/month, and feeling myself fairy good ) Depends on what you expect...

    Hey Reyev never mind that, I have been to Kiev a couple of times and have many friends there :D I'm guessing you know Shooters Bar, my friends own it. But also have many Ukrainian friends I have met on my visits there and a couple have even come to Scotland to see me. Love the place.

    Anyway back to Thailand, think I will go back in August anyway so hopefully go have a talk with them while I am there.

    Hi Spraylami,

    Yeah, I know Shooters, as far as I know the guy named Ozzy runs this place )
    So, how about Thailand, have you got a job there?
