The greed of few in banks like Chasee Manhattan and Sity made the world economy go for a downward spin, making people loose tons of money, pay cut, loss of job, loss of house, loss of security and mental peace. It happend in distant USA but its impact has been brutally felt world over. The number of expats seeing their benefit cut is going up everyday.
This means that they would be on their own to go for lower budget house, should the exorbitant shchooling themselves if they desire and most desire to go back home.
The rental has fallen in Bangkok but unless one can stay like the locals in town houses and away from the centre, its still stiff.
The acceptance is an issue, the acceptance of the fact that move might have to be made away from the serviced apartments, from the luxury of everything being taken care off. One living in Lungsuan and contelplating a move to a nice place in Sathorn shudders at the thought of travel by bus to BTS, then a taxi to reach the place of work and trace back in the evening. It seems impossible to bear. Bangkok is nice and nothing worng parhaps with staying in Sathorn but its an issue to make the move. There are then place in Sukhumvit that the building are too spaceous and the building are old. The entrace is not slick and welcoming, a stale smell of everydayness hang loosely in the air. The roads of Ekamai look downmarket and the thought of the travel everyday cause huge stess. The rentals are still stiff at more than 40k Bhat for a small 2BHK and the kichten still are very small. The builders being locals, seem to operate from the beliieve that the process of cooking at home is a habit on the verge of extinction.
Onnut condos are suppossed to ve cheap and spaceous. Yet, it seems distant and it doesnt help that moving and working in Bangkok for couple of years meant that one has moved around only of few selected place leave him unaware and unaccustomed to the city called Bagkok that they called home.
It means paying 60k to get a place where one wants to live at the cost of serious dent to the pocket. It doesnt seem susntainable and only solace can be found in the phylosophy that one should live in the moment and future would take care off. Never living this phylosphy means one will go through constant turmoil, fear of living without saving and the unknow. Being positive helps and it sooths with promises that better days would emerge, one would be able to generate a second live of earning, one rushes to reactive the online trading acounts in the hope of making that elusive killer deal that would leave the family richer by million.
The conflict of mind continues. Somepeople say you arent living if not uneasy wih the situations but for sure its no damned fun if one is living uneasily day and night, everyday.
We shall overcome. Thats a promise. To us.
