Which would you give up first, booze or forums?

Do you think Thailand's air quality will take any years off that?

But look at David Attenborough! If I thought I'd age like him I'd be ok with reaching 100. He's 97 btw.

Those figures are life expectancy at birth. You'd be surprised how if you've already reached 60 you can expect considerably longer. In the UK a 80 year old today lives on average another 6 or 8 years I believe.

Sounds interesting. What part of Thailand? How does one go about finding such a concert?

The ingredients that make a Thai good life and it's costs. Comparing Thailand to other destinations. How to overcome the challenges of making a life in Thailand.

Don't like cold winters. That knocks out Europe, north east Asia and North America. Don't like thuggish crime, out goes central and south America. Don't like complete lack of infrastructure, so Africa is out. Don't like expensive so Australasia isn't getting picked. Only really left se Asia. And long term affordable visa only really left Thailand. Luckily I like Thailand.

From Exeter. Growing up never saw a foreign face or the desperate vagrant type. Now there's 1000's of Indians an Chinese living here for work and study. Many east Europeans for work. Many others seeking benefits, oops I mean refugee status. The city centre has a hundred homeless/alcoholic physically, mentally morally broken types. Graffiti worse.Rubbish worse. Sense of community lower. The rest of Devon unchanged and quite lovely if the sun is shining.

Modern life has made our monkey brain demand constant entertainment....life was so much more uneventful a few decades ago and yet people coped better, or so it seems.

Steady on! This has got to be the meds talking!🤣 Very nice to hear from one of the last posters on the forum I would expect to say it.

Plastic surgery so she can attract another foreigner after you've gone. Just kidding but sadly as others have noted Thais are terrible at financial management.

I taught in university in Japan and every new semester I would walk into a classroom and literally hear a deep breath in (Japanese type of swoon) from 90% of the girls. Omg what a feeling and yet also surprisingly taken for granted too. Then one new semester I walked in and ....nothing. Overnight I went from rock star to nice teacher. I was 40. 15 years later I'm still struggling with adjusting. I play in the lower leagues now because I can still get that swoon and would rather have a 40 something excited to be with me than an indifferent 20 something.

What's TT?

No prices on their website. Any idea?

Can never make up my mind if the answer to the meaning of life is 42 or tight puzzy, loose shoes and a warm place to sh...ite

Just curious about people's second choices. Let's not forget visa practicalities. I'd probably choose the Philippines because I've gotten used to SE Asia, can't imagine trying a new continent, meet the visa requirements (none lol) and like younger women.

DNA test done obviously. Quickest and cheapest execution possible.

My gf says this isn't ramwong. She learnt ramwong....

How long have you lived in Thailand?

Cheers Peep show Modern family Married with children, the best episodes. I'd say fleabag but only 12 episodes I had to go for quantity as well as quality.

You're interested in talking to unattractive women? Old women?

Group Lao lessons in a school? Could you give more details pls.

How old are you and what does your daily activities look like then? You've weighed in heavily with emotive posts that my friend would be on a long road to purgatory. It would be good to know how relevant your views are.

How old was she and how old are you? If not willing to say then at least the age gap. I'm guessing the disagreement is raising because you don't need attractive whereas the likes of BM2 does.

He's about 60. Sensible. Wants nice life of course. Thailand is more expensive of course and 60k isn't what it used to be. Which parts of Thailand can he afford and not afford?
