You can buy one of these cocktails at any bar there. ????

I had sex on the beach with a nice Amok curry last week.

not people who can't afford to live in their own home countries.

Why would you come here if you had enough money to live in your home country?

As someone who understood the requirements, and made the effort to meet them,

When I came to Thailand (2009) the requirements for a 1 year retirement VISA was being over 50 years old and 120 pounds for the VISA.

I understood those requirements, and sent them a check for that 120GBP.

Karma insists they throw you out because you can't meet next years (or the year afters).

I'm looking for safety razors, not cartridge razors, And the supermarkets doesn't have shaving brushes either. 

Jungceylon is a mall, not a shop. Which shop at Jungceylon have you seen it at? 

I bought everything from AliExpress. Lazada doesn't have a good choice and it's too expensive.

Shaving brushes $1-$4, blades $10 for 100.

No Thai policeman would ever do that!

Also very easy to get in a situation that can kill you.

One slip, bang your head and if no-one sees you unconscious at those temperatures in the wind you're gone in minutes, not hours.

How many times have you slipped, banged your head and become unconscious in your life?

In over 60 years I've not managed it yet.

Now apply that risk to it happening in the week with sub zero temperatures?

So now you're asserting that climatologists aren't asserting that the global temperature on average isn't getting warmer? Really?                           

It's warm and sunny in Chiang Mai, and I doubt I'll last another ten years.

My five kids can worry about it if they want, I just don't care, what a bad boomer I am.

It pays to do some meaningful research before knee-jerking into a "Conspiracy theory!" routine and handing out tinfoil hats. 

How would you suggest anyone does 'meaningful research'?

Just an example of 'meaningful research', try typing 'happy families' into the google search box, then click 'images' and the resulting pictures would suggest nearly all photos of 'happy families' include black people.

I would suggest there is no way for a normal person to do 'meaningful research', only ways for you to view left-wing globalist multicultural propaganda.

What is is it with people who think there own country should be tough on immigration but when they are in Thailand they play the poor victim?

But we aren't migrants, it says so on a stamp they put in our passports every year.

Actually I had a mortgage for 20 years, all paid now.

22 years left on my mortgage.

Aranyapathet/Poipet is not a good border run destination.

They gave me a hard time with a non-o ....... after I had been on holiday in Siam Reap for a week, why do you spend so much time in Thailand? etc.

Bus from Mochit to the border is around 200bht, leaves every hour, and vans.

but you come across as someone whose every waking moment is spent doing things for as little money as possible. It doesn't sound like any fun to me.

The best stuff in life is always free.

A walk in the jungle, a swim in the waterfall, a cycle ride through the countryside .......... all free.

Watching TV with my kids, playing in the garden with my kids also free.

Read a book, listen to music, watch a movie or TV series, all from the internet, amazing free entertainment.

Most of the stuff I like doing is free (or nearly free).

Sad that you have to spend money to enjoy life.

You think there and Hanoi and no need to show funds is not coming to an end?.....Watch this space.

I might be dead by then, why worry about what might happen in the future?

Or I could just pay the 25k.
