Recently, a few Siam Bu which I used to ‘support’ last time with flowers followed me on Instagram.
They have all stopped working as Siam Bu in Singapore and have went back to Thailand to settle down, start up a small business and get married.
They are all also doing quite well, staying in fancy houses in downtown Bangkok, driving fancy cars and posting pictures of thick wads of cash.
Got me thinking
Suddenly it got me thinking on what I had done to contribute to what they have today.
In my two to three years of actively chionging siam dius, I had spent an average of $300 a night on flowers and I go to these siam dius at least 3 times a week.
That is about $900 spend per week and it averages out to $46,800 a year meaning I had spent almost $100,000 on them.
If I had been wiser and kept this $100,000 it could have been put to better use for my future instead of raising some other person’s family and life up.
While they now all have better standard of living, I’m still no different from the time I been going to Siam Dius, still working a 9-6 job and having a pretty much stagnant life.
