YouTube’s ‘Native Farang’ is a Thai who has returned from Northern England (he has a Yorkshire accent) to live in his native Thailand. No reason why he and his partner can’t make a go of it. Other non-Thai youngsters can possibly create a life in LoS if they’re enterprising and, or, can get a work permit. Could prove a challenge though. But the OP is correct in that the novelty might wear off.

I go along with that, being alone’s fine for me and I sadly have to agree about the majority of posters here.

All the Doubting Thomas’s and quarrelsome posters should review the video. The facts are clear for all to see. You can live on a lot less than 60K to enjoy a good life here.

Perhaps he has more than one account and ID. For sure though, the data for GammaGlobulin shows he joined in 2021.

Bignok and GammaGlobulin: is it possible they’re same person?

Oh per…leas GG! … and did God ever tell you to get a life?

What rubbish.

Heaven forbid!

Mightily applicable to aseannow forums !

Amazing that intelligent people take emoji’s so seriously.

Worth looking out for it seems, not found them yet. Thanks for posting.

These curries are definitely still available, I just bought one this morning. Thing to do is ask your local 7-11 manager if he (or she) can order them in.

Or even older :(

I too choose anything by The Beatles, they have a very uplifting sound imo.

Upwellings? Something from your midshipman days?

These (Gamma’s) posts are a weird type of genius. Must take hours dreaming up and .formulating

If so, an unusually articulate one.

Returning to the OP, ‘his girl’ appears to often have her mind on other things: another guy or guys?

So true, so true.

I’m in virtually the identical situation sans the nightly drinking. I started the topic, which I agree is sad, because I’m curious to see how others think and feel about ageing and reaching the end, knowing the grim reaper is on the horizon.

Too right.

Whether or not it’s normal it is very common for contemplative people 75 and older to graciously accept the inevitable. Howard Stern asked David Crosby (Google if you don’t know) a while ago about Crosby’s health and life expectancy. Crosby said, “It isn’t how long you have left to live, but what you do with the time that you have left”. There is a time to leave the party. You have had a good time, have had your fill, you look around and realise, the party is no longer one where you fit. They are dancing to tunes you don’t recognise and they use words not in your lexicon. You are really not interested in adapting to new ways. Peace and quiet seems more prized than frantic activity. The thought crosses your mind: it’s time to go home. Does the inevitable bother people here?

He has a huge modern property on the outskirts of Udon, perhaps he’ll be incarcerated there.

I’ve witnessed such an occurrence in Udon. We all have different experiences and perceptions, c’est la vie (except for the poor Scotsman RIP).
