  1. These are people that don't have the ability to live in the west. Western people wouldn't be living in Asia if they had loads of money, cos it's not that good.
  2. I'm not seeing it. If I were in the 'global luxury' market, I wouldn't be living in Bangkok, or Thailand for that matter. Probably Florida Keys, or maybe California. Somewhere in the Med, Malta or Gozo, Tuscany is nice, maybe Mauritius.
  3. I expect to be treated better than the locals, that's how you treat guests!
  4. Probably Thailand.
  5. My family mainly ignore everything outside their local environment. Bangkok, politics, other countries, Trump, Ukraine, climate change not a part of their lives. Same for me now, I only care about what happens around me.
  6. How could they possibly enforce that?
  7. Mainly nonsense imho, my Neta replaces a m/c so it has to be safer. And as an old person I feel no need to drive faster than 60kph.
  8. Gallstones can cause all those symptoms, often missed by Thai hospitals. Diagnosed by ultrasound scan.
  9. At 250kbht for a new one, it can't be beaten. Drives really well too, my only concerns are about long term reliability.
  10. Could be me posting about UK/Thailand, same feelings, same dead friends and relatives. In the past 5 years almost everyone I ever knew has died, mostly in their mid 60s.
  11. According to actuarial tables unlimited money spent on medical on average adds 1 year to life expectancy. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/TR/2011/lr5a4.html
  12. Wires burning in the walls, they heat up expand then touch ...... the breaker flips off. Then when you turn the breaker back on, they heat up in the wall, expand then touch. Until eventually, they have melted enough to touch all the time and the breaker is always off. Can't smell anything as the trunking is fairly air tight.
  13. "Ghislaine Maxwell’s Staggering Demands for Congressional Testimony" I don't see any of her demands as 'staggering' Clearly she doesn't want to hang herself in a jail cell while the camera's are accidently turned off. And trading testimony for freedom, is what imprisoned people do.
  14. I think going out less is a function of age, I also go to bed a lot earlier and get up at dawn. As for kids in the UK, if they don't want free accomodation and use of vehicles on holiday in Thailand, F%?" 'em.
  15. Probably because they're all made from powdered milk.
  16. Me too, no virus or problems since avast and Norton ditched more than 5 years back.
  17. Too late!
  18. The 11 year old I took in (27 now) has been my very best achievement in life.
  19. In that case, why take care of cats, dogs or rabbits?
  20. He should have included the mentally ill on his list, even if that did include his GG alter ego.
  21. I do drink it as milk, and quite like the taste, not much different to Meiji IMHO.
  22. Pointless to worry needlessly about your imaginary rights over a women's property. Easy enough to make more, or take in some nobody else wants.
  23. Age 70 here, there is no eventuality, only death.
  24. But in Thailand there's always a younger and prettier lady waiting to move in. They can't afford to go home to mom and expect their position to still be vacant when they return. My last one discovered that when she disappeared for a week.
  25. Nothing bothers me, because I understand nothing really matters
