My Dad was also in the British army and served in many countries. Never got to know him very well. He and my mother were divorced shortly after he retired. He was interested in most sports as am I to this day.
I changed from marriage to retirement some years ago at CW. Very straightforward, no hassle. Just be clear whether you are retaining 800k bath in the bank, or proposing an application based on monthly income.
'The new policy encourages Thai nationals to repatriate foreign income for investment in Thailand'. Taxing foreign income in this way will not encourage anyone, Thai or foreign, to bring money into Thailand. Completely the reverse I would think. Mind boggling logic.
It must have been very tough for Joe Biden to have to try to keep going as age and infirmity began to take their toll. My opinion is that those close to him should have withdrawn him from the strain of public life much earlier.
Putting aside the politics of this issue I was impressed by the PM's English spoken version of the change in policy, just as one would expect from a former student of the University of Surrey in Guildford in the UK.
Trump's receptions in the Arabian Gulf states rather undermines recent comments on AN that the world is laughing at America. Quite the reverse in fact.
You make an important point. So much depends on personal circumstances when facing a terminal illness. I should have added a lot will depend on the ability/willingness of those around him in Thailand to take full responsibility for his well- being if and when he becomes unable to do so himself.
The poster was asking for a recommendation as to whether or not he should return to his home in Thailand. If he is able to pay for whatever treatment/medication he needs I would say he should return
to Thailand. BTW morphine is available for home use, at a price.
The nursing side of palliative care in Thailand is as good as, and often better than, can be found in most western countries. Further, the restriction of some medicines for domestic use also applies in many western countries.
There was never a need to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos islands to Mauritius which is over a thousand miles distant. Why on earth the Tories started this is a mystery, now compounded by Labour apparently also in support of the transfer. Also, the cost of the terms is enormous at a time when the UK is bankrupt and heavily in debt.
