Aussie pension for retired couple is approx. 65,000 bht on exchange 25bht to Aus$. We can supplement that with house/assets/super equity to about 30,000 a month. All good unless the exchange rate drops further!

I would have thought, not easy at all - JamesWest must be very fortunate to live only100 metres from the beach for just 11,000 a month.
