You can't compare prostitutes with a normal girlfriend. 

The Thai hookers were usually far more convincing than the Brit girlfriends.

If men had to go through morning sickness, 9 months of carrying a foetus that will give them stretch marks, cause incredible pain during birth and could kill them if something goes wrong, there would probably be zero births.

You forgot, after the nine months of work you get paid for the rest of your life and a free house.

I'd take that deal in a goddamned second. 

Not sure the 'incredible pain' is actually real, my Thai one popped em out without any apparent effort.

New property tax is for houses valued at 10MBht+.

No need to worry.

Wrong. The odds are based on an infected person not everyone.

If you sleep with 100 without it it's zero chance.

If you sleep with 100 and 33 have it it becomes 33 times 0.008.

Basic maths.

My pal made that bet and lost, died age 59 from AIDS (but he went at it quite hard).

I made that bet and won, 65 and still alive (I wasn't so enthusiastic).

Why the hell would you want to live in Thailand? So many things are more expensive and of far inferior quality than in the UK. If you're looking for somewhere with a better climate then Spain or Portugal might be the answer. Cheaper than the UK too for many things. Easy to pop back now nd then to see friends and family too.

Tell me where I can buy a new 3 bedroom house for my family for 10% down and 10kbht/month inc property tax?

But for half of every day there's no power flowing.

Was in Phnom Penh last year, no electricity in the mornings, this is their capital city.

It's not her problem, it's his.

Most of the BGs I went with kissed, and some didn't.

My wife did, and then she didn't ( and then she got divorced ).

I'd never start a serious relationship with a woman that didn't kiss- it's the most enjoyable part of a romantic relationship, IMO.

I've always preferred feeling their tits.

I've never been that keen sticking my tongue (anywhere) in them.

individual people are very different and you can't categorise a whole nation on the basis of your experiences.

Thai people are trained from birth not to be different.

But every foreign guy seems to think he's found one that is different.

but I want more from the GF who really cares for me.

You're living in a dream.

She doesn't care for you any more than the bar girl.

I have done heaps of calculations on paper with Sun angles expected efficiency and return on investment etc.

No need, a 330w panel produces just under 1KWhr/day all year round in Thailand.

In the summer you get hotter sun, but less of it because of the rain, which evens out with the winter where the sun isn't as strong but it's there all day.

1 panel generates 1 unit every day.

The reality is around half the calculated.

at the reception the boy that take care of the process asked me for 600 thb as deposit for the room key.

Sometimes but rarely, it's usually easier to just choose another hotel.

I would just say no.

The last 30-40 hotels I stayed at with Booking.com, Agoda, AirBnB haven't asked, and wouldn't have got.

I doubt the entire door in a Thai 3* hotel would be worth 600bht.

yeah ... but he's matured now, he's unemployed, 20k saved, 31 years old and wants to retire in Thailand so he can sleep with all the bar girls ....  what could possible go wrong  ??

I wish I'd thought of doing that when I was 31.

That would have saved me 20 wasted years with a frigid Brit wife.

I had to wait until I was over 50 to experience frequent dirty sex with multiple young female partners.

When Cambodia takes revenge against retired EU expats, I hope he'll remember we Brits don't like the EU either.

Maybe the UK could do a trade deal with him.

Seems the rum with coke and ice is the only good cheap deal, too bad that would result in drinking alone, not needed for me in that case.
Happy to share some with another drinker though.

Red Cock Vodka is half the price of Hong Thong, 150bht for 700ml from Tesco.

Vodka Mojito's go down well.

That's almost a full load!

Nah, you can easily fit 30, with some stools in the middle and a few more hanging from the rear cage.

It is possible when you are retired and living very simply;
and preferably away from the flicker of nightlife;
but not at 31!

720 pounds is 29,000bht/month.

That's 3x the wage of a Thai shop worker.

I've known loads of foreign guys living here on 20k/month quite happily.

Although VISAs were always a bit of a problem, I'd have gone to the Philippines on that sort of money though.

I live here on 10k/month + housing, it's my Thai family pushing up the costs to 40k/month.

Doesn't the UK also; send out their private investigators (and recruit neighbours) to character assess/spy on Veterans Affairs recipients/applicants?

 

also maybe someone can do a  reverse engineered calcualtion on:

 - what 717gbp/months relates to?

wrt Rank at time of Discharge/Years in Service/Salary up to date of Discharge?

 

 - what levels of Medical Disability pension are provided by the Veteran Dept?

   - do they Pension as a % a specific Member's Service?

   - do they pension as a formulated % of the National bench of The Basic Wage of the average UK citizen?

 

I never understand envy like this.

It's nothing to do with you, why are you so concerned?

Your life will be better if you stop wishing harm on others.

And my life will be better with you on ignore.

but where is it written that 'OP' left due to any Injury and/or has a Medical pension? 

The UK Services:  a member can simply leave it, after a minumum 2 years service

- and get his/her 'army' pension.

I searched twice for something about a Spine injury?? 

2 years service gets you entitlement to a military pension payable at state retirement age.

To get anything age 31, you would need to be on disability.
