The Europeans I see on the beach here in S.E. Asia aren't complaining.  Living like kings they are with fat wallets and 8 week vacations. 

Such parasites are a tiny minority of the E.U's population

If they were jetsetting leisure class they wouldn't be in cheapo Thailand.

Going to Thailand on holiday is too expensive for most people

Pshaw!  The airticket is about $500-600 from Europe, and one can live here in extreme comfort and without any lonely nights for $50 a day.  $30 a day if you're a long termer.

So what is that for a six week vacation?  A total of about $2,500 or so.  Translate into Euros or Pounds.  Not much money for an annual vacation, particularly for a single man.

About £1,500 (I think). That's a lot of money. When I was growing up my Dad made about £11,000 a year and my Mum about £9,000. So 1,500 x 5=7,500. Ick. We barely made ends meet as it was.
