I won't post the links but I love watching the farang YouTuber lately in the Philippines, now several of late , have had homeless farang being interviewed. one old guy sleeping on a mattress last week in Cebu Philippines,old English guy , he got bashed and robbed one night ,3 thugs bashed him in the street and broke his teeth he is trying to sell food I won't post the link but I think it was YouTube "living abroad" the second one was a American guy who was destitute as he couldn't get access to his 401k in America and had no bank account in America he was being interviewed by a YouTuber in Duamagette "Every man has a story" I really felt like crying though on the first one ,what kind of Filipino guys would bash and rob a homeless farang this is where I get scared and continue to work overtime even at 62 , I don't want to end up destitute on the streets of Asia whether that be Philippines or Thailand on another note I was enthralled to see YouTuber Geoff carter back in Thailand after a 5 year absence looking obviously a lot older but he makes me happy watching it ,smiling waving YouTubers can make me happy and sad but I love them especially at my age , I really feel sad though to see people who lost everything and have no where to go except a dirty street wasn't there a welfare services in Pattaya called The Samaritans,is that still around? Apparently Cambodia is the same homeless farangs , I hope people can show empathy why isn't their Consulate doing??

Congratulations , it seems you have done your planning and shouldn't run out of money .

May I ask what happened? Similar to thaibeachlovers ?

The building is union are correct in saying 65yo 's don't have the stamina

Ok so let's define this as the OP 23 Million he has give or take Out of that he has to pay medical insurance, buy a condo perhaps, etc I have more than 23 million baht in assets if I sold my house and cash in my retirement funds and I'm still working at nearly 62:, in fact I'm on night shift this week then Day shift next week There is absolutely no way I will risk it yet

551 non Thai killed 2022 We must get the score so far for 2023 !

2022, the Thai RSC recorded 551 foreign deaths on Thailand’s roads. A further 7,912 foreigners were injured Absolutely shocking ! 551 farangs were killed in 2022 that can fill up a whole stadium

For those of us saying we don't make 100 , you still need to financially plan to age !!! No use retiring at 60 with money to last you to 80 This is why at 62 I'm doing a lot of overtime at work even 12 hour shifts which is killing me but I don't have enough to last me until 100 which I have a plan for Fail to plan....plan to fail

How did U live each year ? You must of budgeted carefully

Remember years ago when I went into the Isaan Cherm chim , Udon Thani ,a pommy guy had his staff dress up in costume, is he still around Farang connection, I can't remember exactly where that was, Kalasin?? but I stopped there nice old farang owner imagine he is dead by now

Are you saying a day?

Yes ,I'm thinking places like Phuket,Samui etc would have the highest rate of young farang deaths

Please keep it serious Anyone know the approximate farang road deaths in Pattaya per year ? What's your guess 50?

Lately I have had a fascination with farang with road accident deaths in Pattaya . I'm thinking getting someone to do a website for me where I can list the names and country of birth and date etc I'm thinking this format Name & age,what country they were from, how they were killed , date of death and maybe a face pic to go with it or even pics of the accident And doing year by year ,like starting 2024 year etc and tally up the amount of farangs killed I heard a young Russian was killed last week in Pattaya Does anyone remember accidents that have stuck in your mind ?

Yep keep blowing the whistle I say ????

It used to be like that didn't it Farmers used to use handshakes etc to broker deals but not anymore sadly Some say " they are a man of their word"

How do you explain 3 cars nearly hitting him in a dark back street at 11pm that doesn't usually have cars going thru ! Religion has no answer ,it's just bad luck Although your number 2 could have meaning ?

You don't understand inflation ,in 20 years that won't be enough Go back 20 years ago the expenses were different

I don't understand why not ,I am planning to 100. That's why I'm still working and doing shift work and overtime even at my age which I'm finding it very hard to work one week day and then night etc but I'm doing it so I can retire in case I live to 100

Yes ????????????????????

Gives a new meaning to the Australian acronym...FIFO ... Fly out workers ????

The Australian Federal government does not pay you the full old age pension (67yo) if you have a certain amount in the bank ,I think it's around $250,000 then you lose so much ,some don't get it at all if they are self funded drawing on their retirement savings they saved all their life. I believe the UK also has a assets limit ? The current old age pension I believe around $1100 per fortnight The guy I'm talking about is using his own retirement savings (we call it Superannuation) that he has paid into thru his working career . Currently the employer must pay around 10,% on top your salary into Superannuation He cannot apply for the old age pension until he is 67 but he may have too much cash to be eligible,even then he has to go come back to Australia for a whole 2 years residency to be eligible to apply !

Plato is believed to have said that "Empty barrels make the most noise" Meaning those with the least knowledge are often the ones who speak the loudest and the most

What does that mean? I can't see any such qoute Probably true ????

Something that's not worth a lot ????
