Top of my list is Barbados. I spent the best part of 2 winters there, before I came to Thailand and I loved every minute of it. Fun people, great night spots and restaurants, a fantastic climate and beautiful beaches that you could, very often, have to yourself. On both occasions I rented inexpensive apartments for 2 and 3 months and if circumstances had been different I'd probably be living there now.

Nope, guess again! I'll give you a clue, it's not in the UK😉

My UK state earnings related pension is now £14,000 per annum and as I've just turned 80, I reckon I've got nothing to complain about.

Don't worry, it's only a dream!

To have the power to eliminate the scum of the earth.

Seems like you took the bait doesn't it!

I reckon he's an Aussie, these days they seem to use mate more than the Brits

I've been reporting online since we were given the option, but I too have had my last 2 reports refused. I really thought that after all the problems, in the beginning, with the online system,we were finally out of the woods. Unfortunately, if it works don't try to fix it doesn't seem to work in Thailand, more like if it works, let's f...k it up.

It sounds like the only good thing to come out of this, is that a loan shark has been shafted

He could have been shot before he fell.

It's probably been mentioned already, but having enjoyed The Gentlemen movie, I've binged on the series for 2 days and I can only say that Guy Ritchie's done it again, it's f....i ng brilliant!

Most foreign currencies are doing very well against the Baht, I just got 46.2 nett for my pound for example, which is the best for some years.

What realism have you accepted, that you're going to die during the next 5 years? Most people, including me, consider themselves lucky reaching 80 and we realise that we are in the later stages of our lives, but just remember that we are a long time dead, there's no rush. Do your best to stay reasonably healthy and we'll speak again in 5 years time!😉

Thanks for telling me, I turned 80 last week. I didn't realise my life was almost done!

I think it probably depends on where you are transferring from. I use Wise to transfer from the UK and their exchange rates are excellent and the funds from the online transfer arrive in seconds. If you were to transfer sterling now you would get 45.54 nett to the pound in your bank. The op's situation requires knowledge that we don't necessarily have, hence my comments. He's not going to buy anything anyway, so we're arguing about nothing.

I just bought an Asus Vivobook 16 X1605ZA-MB332W (Indie Black) from Advice with the following spec ; 16.0 inch / Intel i3-1215U / 8GB DDR4 / 512GB SSD / Integrated Graphics / Win 11, priced at 13990 thb and so far so good.

So far, you haven't found anyone smarter than you on here, mainly guessers as far as I can see. Talk to Wise, talk to the banks and check the regulations with the land office before you do anything.

His gf posted something on FB, but it looks like it's been taken down

If you can't phone them and you end up having to go to CM, make sure you take a completed TM30 with you, this seems to be a sticking point with online reporting at the moment.

Noppadan was shot and killed!
