Things you like about Thailand
Most of the ladies don't understand a lick of English, so they won't know any of their customers opinions or if they're dull. As for being fat, as long as you have 2,000bht, I suspect they don't care.

Why do so many posters continually diss other posters?
But @Yagoda is a great guy! I don't think I've ever heard him pontificating on fine wine, foodie restaurants, museums or any other pretentious elitist nonsense. And @Harrisfan seems like a decent enough bloke, but hasn't been posting long enough for me to form any solid view.

I live my life as I want with no reference to other people. I don't hurt anyone and spread my money around the local economy. If you think my posts are controversial, that's on you.

What have you achieved this week?
I don't know anyone that smokes both! I've never smoked tobacco, but I do smoke cannabis.

Why do so many posters continually diss other posters?
I see this in the forums all the time ......... Posters looking down on guys living in Pattaya, elderly, guys living on a pension, living in a rented condo, supporting a woman and her family, men spending time in bars, or smoking weed/tobacco, etc. Why not just enjoy your own life and stop looking for fault or judging other people?

Giving the lonely false hope
Why would I care? And add to that every heterosexual relationship looks transactional to me, only the payment plans appear different! Personally, I prefer to pay 2,000bht up front, than my home and half my pension five years after.

What wrong with being old, or using a cane?

Do you think it's possible for a retired fat, bald gentleman to find love with a slim 30yo attractive woman without paying?

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
Watched it, all 9 episodes, nothing like Slow Horses. Entertaining, I enjoyed it, but high levels of extreme graphic violence throughout.

Thai financial advisor
12,000gbp/year tax free, so you only take out 10k chunks with no tax to pay. This is how I financed age 60-65 living in Thailand, 20% tax taken, fill in an online form through government gateway, and refunded to my bank within 3 weeks. Used Hargeaves Lansdowne, the only financial firm i have ever used that didn't try to cheat me. I didn't have any funds, so no charges .........

Thailand Faces Economic Challenges as Thousands of Businesses Close
They should just invite a few more Indian tourists to make up any short falls

So many fireflies .........
Just went out to watch them again, there were even more tonight, they've even spread to the front garden. It's an amazing show, pitch black with flashing everywhere and a buffalo bellowing in the distance.

Giving the lonely false hope
Don't know, it certainly worked for me, I've had very pleasant female company for the past 16 years, rarely slept alone, and made several very good friends with whom I travelled all over SEA. During that time I've acquired a wife, a house and two great kids. Currently sitting in my living room typing on my tablet, wife at her desk perusing lottery numbers, teen boy lying on the floor playing on his smartphone. I see no reason other pensioners shouldn't find that lifestyle, if that's what they want.

People keep posting, Thailand expensive, but I'm not seeing it!
Today's shopping more expensive at 34bht. Still 3 large potatoes will make me 3 dinners so not the end of the world. Decision time, pizza or roast pork, gravy and baked potato for lunch?

Favourite Store on Lazada, Shopee
I bought all my wall box/MCB/RCBs from Shopee which seemed to have a much better choice than Lazada. https://shopee.co.th/ตู้คอนซูมเมอร์ยูนิต-NANO-Plus-8-ช่อง-เมนธรรมดาMCB-50A-63A-พร้อมลูกเซอร์กิต-6อัน-ตู้คอนซูมเมอร์-ตู้โหลด-จัดส่งKerry-CM-08-i.215960318.6542138920
