TAT stated a few days ago that due to the shootings Chinese tourism had dropped by 30% I saw in another article how the Chinese had invaded Dubai for the Chinese holiday I think I would believe the news coming out of Dubai rather than what TAT come up with . Let’s wait and see what brainwave they come up with tomorrow

By the time you reach retirement it will most probably of gone up to 70 years of age Im not worried on what I miss out as I can well afford it I was just making the point that if you live in Thailand your U.K. OAP is frozen that is not the case in the Philippines and if all you have is your U.K. pension then you need every £ you can get

Who writes this BS the U.K. has an agreement with Thailand in 19+ years here in Thailand all my U.K. pensions are taxed in the U.K. if the Thai government attempt to extort taxes off me it will be thanks but no thanks and I will move to the Philippines. I have been contributing to the Thai economy for all these years if they don’t want me to continue I will get a retirement visa in the Philippines it’s that simple

The conflict started on Saturday morning so are they claiming that in 72 hours they have had 10,000 Israeli people arrive in Thailand an average flight have 300 people if this is the case they are claiming that they have had more than 30 flights just from Israel arrive since Saturday I would be gobsmacked if any flights actually left on Saturday during the attacks Israel is 4 hours behind Thailand

I live here by myself since December 2019 when my wife returned to the U.K. for a holiday Covid arrived she couldn’t get back and in the end decided to stay there permanently if I’m honest I think Covid did her a favour it was a way of getting out . Now October 2023 I’ve survived happily on my own I have a cleaning lady who comes once a week her English is little but having been cleaning for me for the last 2+ years she doesn’t need telling what to do . I go out twice a week to play pool and meet friends during the day I chill out maybe go on my paddle board or take a dip in the sea as I live on the beach I’m more than happy with my own company I should mention I do have a cat who is adorable on occasions I might have a massage at home I’m not into bar girls especially when the bar wants you to cough up a 500 baht fine , i Tend to use Tinder but since Covid I find a lot of them are Free lancers . At 72 years young my sister who lives in the U.K. worries what would happen to me on my own the longest I was ill for was two weeks I survived I always have canned food in as a reserve . I tell my sister not to worry if I die at least the cat won’t starve she will be able to chew on me ( Joking ) I did let a nice Thai lady stay with me for three months it was a nightmare but her cooking was out of this world . I am more than happy with my life style do I need a woman to live with me NO but you never know one day the right one might suddenly appear ????

New York has 1,000s of Jewish residents in its community dare I say it might well be the largest community outside of Israel -
I never understand why people come to Thailand and end up taking on a pet if they have no intention of staying long term or they can finance taking the animal back with them when they leave to many times you see a farang has taken on a soy dog only to return it to the street 6 months later and that is one reason why I would not take on homing a dog as they need lots of attention .

Every week they come up with some brainwashed idea to attract tourism trouble is most of the times they don’t get off the ground I doubt that the dreadful killings that took place in Bangkok will have any impact on tourists cancelling there holidays the issues are flights being to expensive , charging tourists to go to national parks when Thais go in free, rip off tuk tuk prices the list is never ending
