If there's grass on the pitch, play ball (animal house).

I've spent around 175,000gbp in the last 15 years (600,000bht/year). So I'd guess his money will last 25-30 years.

Since when has two plain women wearing frumpy clothing and waving their hands been considered erotic dancing?

I doubt he's got more than 5-10 years left. I'm totally amazed at the number of guys thinking thell make 70+. It's just a fantasy.

I'd also rather you live in Australia!

I believe it's the Probate Registry. https://www.rochelegal.co.uk/resources/help-guides/dwp-claims-on-estates/

Standard for all UK pensioners that have admitted they live outside the UK. In the UK pension companies are notified of your death by government agencies so no proof of life required. My advice is, Keep quiet about where you live and what you are doing. They don't need to know!

I was 52, being divorced, bought a cheap holiday that happened to be in Thailand. Liked it and decided to not go back. Now 67 and still here. This guy has way more than I had, only a problem if he starts buying houses for Thai women.

I had already done the photos and photocopies last week. All I needed today was the bank letter and 6m statement ( which I did this morning). And the 4 forms from the tray 1,2,3 trays at immigration + map form.

Nov and December, cool, sunny, dry and no pollution.

Yes, my wife often leaves the key in her bag, then goes off in the car. Then I have to disable the security manually.

I'm averaging 53.4Km/l on mine, so that's pretty good. The key fob is the worst bit. You can drive off with the fob left in the house, then after a while it starts bleeping and flashing, so you have to go home an get the fob, or enter the key code manually (takes around 60s using the seat switch) to switch all the security off. Wish it had a real key. Phone charger not that good either, will charge my phone, but won't charge my Kindle.

74Kg here, driving my newish 160i around CM moat this morning I was thinking how juddery the front shocks are.

When I started as a Brit school teacher, in the early 1980s, hitting a kid was a sacking offence.

I'm with you on this one Bob! I go cycling with a retired Thai English teacher, 40 years teaching English, can't speak 1 word of English. My daughter (native English speaker) was failed 1 year by her English teacher because my kid speaks English, and the teacher didn't. My daughter was also slapped by a ladyboy teacher, headmaster forced LB to kneel on the floor and beg our forgiveness after we complained. My woman now runs the PTA (holds the school money, supervises new buildings) and has meetings with headmaster every other day ...... our son can do whatever he likes with no fear of retribution (the teachers appear to fear him). Thai education is severely twisted and corrupt IMHO.

They just need the money to buy the job ........... usually around 1 years wages.

Went to CM immigration today (Friday afternoon) for family extension. Arrived a bit early at 12:45pm as I didn't have any of the application forms (extension form, warning form, acknowledge form, map form, all x2). Filled out the forms by 1pm when they opened after lunch, out with stamped passport (under consideration) by 2pm. Nobody in front of me at any stage, biggest wait was between them accepting the forms and taking my photo (about 10-15 mins). Lady said they only had 1 family application this morning, and mine was the second for the day. Your post confused me!

Thought they required 14 days before VISA expires for an extension.

Nah, my woman worships an Indian god (Kali as an incarnation of Buddha), dresses in a sari, has the red dot on her forehead and absolutely refuses to even taste any Indian food because Indians are 'dirty'. You gotta laugh, ain't ya!

Don't think Thais will eat Indian food. At my local Indian (RajDarBar, Loi Krow) I only see foreigners eating the food.

Your wife charges you for her cooking?

Off topic, 50% of western divorces now have accusations of spousal rape/child abuse attached. Either 50% of married men are absolutely evil, or there's a hell of a lot of female liars out there.

Patak's Indian cook in sauces available on Lazada for 110bht/jar. Stir fry 800gm of whatever meat, add sauce and simmer for 15 mins. 5 portions/meals for 40-50bht a go ......... not expensive.

Bus CM to khon khen, van from KK to Muk (every 30 mins daytime only).
