How do you think it should be "expressed" then?

We are not discussing 20 year afgo, are we? Would buying a condo no be a good investmnet? Yes, or no? Simple question.

Surely such a great "investment" made the paperwork associated with getting a work permit worth it.

Nope. I rent and pay as I go. I have nothing I can't easily walk away from and head straight to the airport, within the hour. That doesn't make it a sound investment though, does it? And you said you are not invested in Thailand. In what way did they turn out "ok?" No fear of risk here. I take somewhat of a risk in my home country, a place where I am a citizen, and I have rights. The right to reside in the country being the main one. You could 5 Thai companies, a wife, 3 houses, 4 kids, 2 cars, 3 motorbikes, a bar, a shop, a farm, but you have no right to actually remain living in Thailand, past a visa. You only see the risk of return on investment. I see that risk, plus a lot more.

Couldn't afford to run it.

Very old photos, but let's just say you do actually own these two houses. You could sell one and and keep one, but here you are miserable in Australia, to the point you have to post on a Thailand forum how great it is back in Australia on a pension. The Thai missus is obviously wearing the pants She'll clean up, after you waste away your latter years in life in Australia, and then die. Yeah, Blind Freddy and all that.

Oh, I know they are not in your name, but they are yours. That's why I call you out for being the criminal you are. You are committing fraud.

But not Australian by birth.

The US have good printing presses.

So you are not even Australian.

It's nice to have it sitting in the garage for if / when you wouod like it / need it. You can't even afford a car. What a miserable existence, yet, her you are, promoting nothing more that $11 cask wine.

The data bases are all starting to communicate with each other. Gone are the days of claiming you only earn $50,000 a year, but the Land Titles Office show you own 2, 3, 4 or 6 or more properties. You might get away with it for a while. You might get away with it until you die. You live in Australia, whilst members of this forum live in Thailand. You really must have a sad existence coming onto a website like this, trying to see fridges to eskimos, or, trying to make yourself feel better.

So what went wrong that you still have to live in Australia, rorting Centerlink, and not living in Thailand?

Here we go again. No car, no entertainment, no dining out, no sports, actually, nothing but unsubstantiated $11 cask wine. Yes, still waiting on that link. What a miserable life, but here you are promoting going back to Australia to expats in Thailand. Laughable.

Put the house in the Thai wife's name, then claimed they broke up, then rented it off her for bugger all. Fraudster, but he's dirty he has to live in Australia. while the wife earns and sends it all back to Thailand, and we are living here. What a prison he's made for himself.

I'm sure the ATO and Centerlink would be interested in what you post, you fraudster.

Expenses???????????????????????????????????

Nothing right with it, other than price, either. You gotta laugh.

The word being "lived" and not "living" so how / why is this website relevant to you, when you are living back in Australia?

Living in Australia is living in a mess. I bet your TGF gets back to Thailand more than you do. Of course because some distant relative died in a motorbike accident, and you pay for the airfares. Living The Dream.

No, you are the troll. You say you don't reside i Thailand, so what are you doing on this website? What is the purpose of you posting?

Why are you posting on this website? You have no connection to living in Thailand.

Sponsored tourists visas for the TGF, or she has PR from a previous time in Australia? Either way, I'm sure certain government departments know what you are up to.

Yes, same as the member Scorecard. One post he's on an aged pension, next post he's on a Vet's pension, and done his 2 years in a Vet's accommodation village. You can't be on both pensions. The member, "Still Kicking" is rorting the system. It's been raised before, and he's defended his position that it can't be proved, but he's the one living in Australia on $11 cask wine, which he couldn't post a link to, and I know where I would rather live, despite him singing the praises of $1300 a fortnight. I'm guessing his wife's wages go back to Thailand, and they are both living off his pension. What a wonderful way to see out your final years? Why is he even posting on this website?

You can't make that many clocks.
