I've had zero problems with 3bb, always fast to come and repair my cables when the rabbits bite them, moved house 2x and they always fitted my cable in less than 3 days. True were horrible when I used them.

Philippines and Cambodia are very easy to stay long term, visa is around $300/year. Vietnam has no long stay visa for retirees at the moment, but $50/3years if you marry a local. Laos is too rural for me, but great for guys that can manage living in Issan. I'd be happy enough if forced to move.

I grow my own. Pain gone for over 24hrs, sometimes I miss a night and the pain doesn't return. Don't know, I prefer to avoid the unknowns of extracts. Joint pain I've had for 20 years since 45yo, totally gone for the past 3 years.

Me too! Never seen much point in being awake when I have to pay for the lighting, or asleep when there's free light outside. 6am is the nicest part of the day, so why miss it.

Agree, Thai men with money throw it around way more than most of us. The only 'rich Thai' I knew used to spend 10,000bht a go on a girl. A Thai lawyer I knew used to have 3 girls at a time.

Agree, after the first 2 seasons they went woke. Didn't watch any more including the spinoffs.

Only the reporting of it is new.

Sorry, but American BS. Employers need to pay a living wage, not expect their customers to cover their exploitation of their workers.

My devout Christian Brit wife certainly did, and her devout Christian parents did too!

It's way easier for my Thai kids than my Brit kids.

I agree., but I don't think I have that much time left to worry about 'long time'.

The best time ever for me is now! Back in the good old days I was always a bit frustrated by lacking access to sex (even though I was married). And the tech wasn't all that handy either, radio where I had to listen to what the DJ wanted to play, TV where I had to watch what was available on 3 channels that didn't start until 5:30pm. Books that the local library had chosen to stock. Life was all very limited. Today, I can download any movie, TV show, music or books and have as much sex as I could ever imagine all easily available at either no, or little cost.

China is nice, everyone was friendly (as friendly as people with no ability to communicate), one example when I was on the train some rural farm types insisted on sharing their fruit with me, another was when I hunted down a policeman to help me find the bus station (he used his phone translation app), not been to Russia or Japan.

Seeing as a small beer retails at around 30bht, that would be a 360% mark-up (110bht). More if the bar buys at wholesalers.

NZ And Oz want you living in country and see a pension as welfare. UK you pay for your pension around 20% of you salary, but they stop all rises if you move out of country. It's a bit of a mix really, but it does appear with many new regulations (banking, finance, pensions, Brexit, COVID) that the west wants it's old folk to stay home and make retiring overseas as difficult as possible.

As seen in my "cook in sauce" topic, not much cleaning either, and I usually end up doing most of the child care. But loads of sex, so I'm not complaining.

Not since COVID, got back 25mins before they closed BKK.

You assume wrong, I do all my own cooking, and most of my kids cooking. She's no good at all making Brit/Indian/Mexican food which is all me and my kid eat.

None of yours ever responded, so what did you do wrong?

Yes and yes to both but I didn't know them.

You can get a mortgage when over 60? They won't allow that in the UK.

More likely you would have been homeless.

Seems unlikely as you need to be age 13+ to open a Facebook account.

Not sure that's a valid point in this modern age. Hardly any fathers of any age do that these days, too busy working or divorced and prohibited.

You use your real name on Facebook? I don't even tell my friends my real name in person, they don't need to know. (I learned this from Thais whom hardly ever use their real names)
