Agreed. But he's in Canada at winter time. That's why I suggested the supplement.

In the UK I can afford to live well in a provincial town. Same amount let's me live well in bkk. Is that expat, refugee or migraint? These labels crumble away on close analysis.

Take a vitamin D pill. More effective.

Nice data. Where did you find it? And where's the best places, air quality wise?

Young people looking for a partner like bkk. Older people liking nightlife and or culture like bkk. People earning money like bkk. Most others prefer somewhere else.

Yes yes, I expected ridicule. This Off to China, where “levels of outdoor air pollution…are among the highest in the world.” By day one, those getting broccoli sprouts were able to get rid of 60 percent more benzene from their bodies. “The key finding…was the observed rapid and highly durable elevation of the detoxification of… a known human carcinogen https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/combating-air-pollution-effects-with-food/#:~:text=Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM • July 21%2C 2020&text=Outdoor air pollution may be,%2C stroke%2C and respiratory infection. Its a pity that this topic has been moved to farming forum. I wanted the widest readership because this could potentially save lives.

For those of us worried about the effects of air pollution on our lungs some amazing evidence that eating broccoli sprouts which take just two to four days to grow from seed so boost the immune system in the nose that pm25 particles don't get thru. Anybody growing them? I really hope they grow in Thailand.

But the bottom 20% of Aussie men far far outcompete the bottom 50% of Filipino men. Thanks to the Aussie government they have housing and healthcare and cheap food in the fridge.

Where do they go instead?

Any guy who thinks knocking back 10 pints is the life of Riley missed out on the benefits of a good education. Sharing the local diseases with the Mrs isn't exactly my idea of the good life either. But if he's got the life he wants good on him.

Most people I meet only ever retired in Thailand.

They make money hiring the salesmen who have to buy a lot of product. Gf still owes money to them 15 years after leaving the company having never made a cent. Stear clear.

Did you pay sinsod? Just asking because it seems a bit rich that when in Thailand Mr Farang is often asked to follow Thai culture but when Mrs Thai is in his country the Thai family often expect her to follow Thai culture too. Rather a bit one sided, bit like colonialism in reverse.

Last night I had two pints of 4% beer. First drink in months. By midnight I felt like I had drunk 6! Horrible feeling and definitely not worth it. At least for me, being over 50 seems to make alcohol a low return activity.

And what do you drink these days?

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.
