I freelance as a small arms dealer between SE Asia and Africa.
Phuket is the most expensive place in Thailand and it's crap. If you move to Thailand then I recommend Pattaya because it's only 1.5hrs to the airport and 2 hours to BKK plus it has buses that go all over the country if you want to visit teelak's family in bumfukville. It also has a large range of restaurants, women and other things that will make you feel at home.

If you like Pattaya, then that says more about your character than anything else.

How many days on and hours per day do you work?
This roster is 12hr days 7 days then 7 nights, then 13 days off since the long travel times. Personally I prefer 12.5hr days and 2/1 or 4/2 for more money.
So you are working double the hours of someone who works 40 hours per week over the course of a year?
Arent you working 12hour day shifts for 7 days, followed by 12 hour night shift or 7 night? That is 168 hours over 2 weeks.
168 hours x 26 weeks per annum = 4368 hours.
??
Nah its 84 a week or 168 a block only do 13 blocks a year so its
168x13
I wish I could do 168hrs a week id gross over 8k a week then

Sorry I must be having a dumb moment. Didnt you say you work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off? So over the course of a year you work 26 weeks on and 26 weeks off?

Yes - he regularly gets spat on by the slurry ... professionally he's a metallurgist, but not much call for them in Australia atm.
But he's not into to real estate side ... so I guess I'm just a professional jack-of-everything (although I haven't learnt to drive the tractor "yet") so that he can go to work and earn the money.
That's it, equal time is a great lifestyle roster its not a great money making roster tho. 5 days on 5 days off is the same or 7/7. If you really want to make big money in the mines you do have to put in the extra hours and limit your time off.
Really I see a lot of metallurgists on SEEK these days.
