Wouldn't matter if someone uses their pension or not to pay rent ,they would of paid taxes in their own country for years to earn it . Sounds a bit discriminatory

84 , didn't do too bad

You sound a bit like the guys at my work ,just because your diet is great and you exercise,chances in all probability your not going past 83

I agree , he sounds a know all , but best of luck anyway

Everyday unfortunately this happens in Thailand

I think the " old farts" as you call them are the majority of your subscribers

I hit a raw nerve with some of you ! Because you are deniers and not realists ,you don't want to think about dying I'm sorry to be a realist.

Please go back one more time ????

I was just speaking last night to a workmate about Seinfeld actually I used to love Seinfeld, a lot of the old comedy shows are just not the same nowadays. I used to love all the old British ones On the Buses , etc Unfortunately this WOKE world has banned them !!!! Only have to look at the new Australian Mother & Son re - made where the son is now black

Bottom line is if your a single male even with a Thai GF living in a rented apartment in ndet 15k a month you can live on less than 60k a month !!!!! If your in Pattaya though you will get less than a 1 bedroom

I have strongly strongly come to the conclusion that a lot of not only lonely people NEED this forum but also those with mental illness and lonely What would they do if they didn't have this forum ??

One thing is I'm a realist. And one thing I enjoy in my workplace which is a very large hospital is to tell older workmates usually in their 70's that they have less than 10 years left in probality. Just the look on their faces the shock tells me they never thought of it. Those of you now who are say 73/74 surely you must know ! I'm always bemused when I see their face looking like shock ,like they didn't know they would be going ???? I remember telling a old workmate a few years back ,77yo and still a cleaner ,wife was a Filipino , working all hours , he ended up reporting me for harassment just for letting him know about his lifespan and how he was wasting his 5 years left I had another cleaner approach me in the staff mealroom and say you me "George you really are a low B**"*"d" !! But I was just giving realist facts . Does it make you a different person ,your plans ,doing more before the 10 years is up ?? Do you actually realise your not going up be here in 10 years or are you a denier ??? My late father was the same ,he used to get angry when I told him

And how have you been surviving between 30 & now?

Well it does because I couldn't put up with all the BS Imagine going to university now ... Not being away to call someone "darling" for fear of sexual harassment or identify as non binary and someone is a man but you have to call them Miss No I couldn't be young again starting in this World

This is very true ,begs the question how many of you live with a partner just for the sake of not being lonely! But you can't communicate and have conversations about the sex life of ants in Africa or about the Israel war conflict as your partner is not educated,so it's just a relationship for lonilesness

I would rather be older in this day in the world Who would want to be young again in this WOKE world?

Problem is....we don't know when we are actually going to go unless the doctor gives you a approx time eg terminal cancer

Australia can't get plumbers and other tradies I had to wait weeks for a plumber recently,I found a British plumber tourist here,(Sydney )on a 2 week holiday install my bathroom vanity for cash , he was happy and half the cost of a Aussie plumber who wanted $450 to install a bathroom vanity !! If there's any tradies from other countries please come to Australia on a tourist visa and work for cash ,we need you !!

Imagine before the internet how those alone must of felt Rewind say 25-30 years ago Must of been a lot of sad cases around

Love you Liverpool Lou or Pattaya Lou ,you are a wealth of information for all Pattaya expats

Yes I do too ! I applaud them although I feel a bit sorry for them YouTubers "native farang" I'm talking about Never saw a Thai guy with a real cockney accent until I watched them ???? If I was a gambling man though, which I am ,I would bet on them not being there in 5 years Why? I can't see the caucasian wife wanting to stay in a hot muddy dusty place such as Isaan though especially with children but I applaud them and wish them best of luck ,!!

Absolutely! They don't plan for inflation and even emergency! Things change ,times change Many came to Thailand on high currency exchange,it didn't last ! But the question is to all of you , if that was your son or daughter that at that age living in farangland and in their 20's wanting to move to Thailand surely you would discourage them? What if they had a secure job and they were going to give up their career to do it ? Surely you would be disappointed

I often wonder how all these YouTubers make money unless people donate ?

Lol Reminds me about 20 years ago in Australia, I went to look at a house for sale about 2 hours North of Sydney (Central Coast NSW) The agent was telling me the old couple selling were motivated to accept all offers as they were members of some Pentecostal Church that believes Jesus was arriving on a certain date and they needed to sell their house to donate to the Church ! Apparently they were P*""d off when he didn't arrive and they had nowhere to live !!

I imagine she owns the land after 30 years
