I buy all my food at restuarants, but I figure the costs of that stuff to be very very low. For instance a meal of rice and chicken and some sauce is like 50 baht'ish here. Thats like $1.5 so I guess it would be very cheap to buy the stuff yourself, wether you can find a place to cook it or not is another question...

Seems to me like this Thailand crew just has life figured out... from what they have said it seems like Thailand is the kind of place where you can wake up in the morning and the first question that pops into your head is "what should I do today?" in the western world you only get to ask yourself that question maybe twice a week (on the weekends) if you're lucky...

Actually, this isn't because it's Thailand, it's because they don't have real jobs. It's the same in the U.S. if you don't have a real job. The main difference is that your money (which is likely the same since you don't have a real job) goes further. If, on the other hand, you go over there with the intention of getting a real job and living that lifestyle, you are going to be seriously disappointed.

Yes, because your money goes further. You can get the sex and drinking and whatnot back in Canada, it just costs a lot more. My point is that someone who gets a regular Thai job at Thai wages will not have the same lifestyle, although it will admittedly still be much easier for them to get more dates with hotter women.
