Absolutely
I think it's not only financial reasons guys head back to their own countries after retiring in Asia disillusioned, it's because they had no lifestyle plan.
Sounds a bit sexist ?
We must accept all sexualities and genders and being a old PC woke lefty Greenie socialist ,you should say the word "person" instead of "girl" although I'm unsure of the pronoun that "person" may be when you get a "stiffy"
Oh FFS tell me to shut up
Still kicking tells a lot of lies unfortunately
Not sure why ,he has 2 investment property's he said but rents out a small flat in the outskirts of Perth
And gets the OAP even though his wife works and his rental income .
I guess if the investment properties were in her name and she is not married to him and living at a different address it could be done
So if you hadn't sold your house in Australia you probably could of claimed the OAP
Obviously you would have to tell Centrelink it wasn't rented out , probably better to sell it as you did
Then if you own your own condo
You still have strata fees , electric , internet , Netflix , phone , water , and big one medical insurance
You don't need a motorcycle or car plenty of transport in Pattaya
Without naming your business,who has a business here in Pattaya?
Do you own it more as something to do rather than massive profit?
Not everyone has a bar business to make money , of course if your breaking even it can be a hobby for someone retired and looking for company in terms of talking
There was a bar like that in Soi Bukhao
But I'm not a people person I hate people
I was listening to a German guy years ago who told me he rented a shop house for his German restaurant with a apartment on top free rent ,he said ,I make nothing but I get free rent
It's not as easy as it sounds
What business do you have or your partner ?
You saying this Gen of navy are "woke " ?
I remember the 80"s 90's navy would go out party hard ,had the navy police out & about patrolling too even Boyztown was full
If I had everything paid for eg house/condo I couldn't think as a single older male non drinker going over 40k a month .
I would be horrified if I did.
Mind you gym membership is expensive in Pattaya 1500 baht a month at Jomtien gym
Thankyou for pretending not to know me Kinyara but us guys call you "veiny" in Soi Bukhao
, I hope you took the advice of us guys in Soi Bukhao and got that red vein nose treatment 🐽😂
I have 4 guys at my work who live in Lakemba ( Sydney's Muslim community) and they say it's the safest area and goes with cafes etc nearly all night with taxi uber drivers ,students etc so has changed a lot in years to now more Bangladeshi
I think cheaper rents in Sydney are Claymore , St Mary's ,mount Druitt,
Thankyou for that link.
Very interesting to read the former farang owner of the Kombat gym died in the Bangkok boxing ring , it seems he went back for just one more fight after retiring years ago...very sad
