I guess beach places like Boracay and Duamegette would be ok for retirement,but as I said if your a sexpat Philippines won't suit you

I was very shocked to see marijuana legalised recently in Thailand. The country had the most harshest drug laws at one stage . Now I see a State in Australia going one step further on October 28 and not only legalising weed but other drugs ,meth etc for personal use too which the Police commissioner of that Australian State has spoken out it will lead to more crime in his State by blow ins coming in to use and sell as well as more traffic accidents He stated he recently done a study tour of the USA to visit a State there that had legalised drugs and even the police commissioner there told him it's now out of control Whilst Thailand only legalised weed for personal use has the traffic accidents increased ,what's your feeling in legalising drugs

The Philippines it seems is now the upcoming area for expats. A lot of YouTube video on the Philippines , not really for sexpats though If your into quiet beach like areas etc it's ok

My ideal scenery is different from most others I don't like the greenery or rural look. I prefer being in a high rise condo ( with balcony ) in Pattaya overlooking other buildings

High rise? I don't like high rise with no balconies though , I lived in one for years , one thing I enjoy is to have my morning cup on the balcony

????Ben fantastic, i once done the same thing with Kilkenny airlines

I just lost big money on Carlton vs GWS All the comments on line said Carlton were going to win !! They got thrashed

The question is ....why haven't you been in 7 years?

I would guess he would fly business class with the money he makes

You must take the phone with you and type on the forum when your with them? ???? Judging by all your threads

What point was there to do this??? Gone to a lot of trouble to remove the cupboards?? Why

I often am amazed when I meet people my age or older than 75 and they are worried about mundane and unimportant things . I met a guy in my workplace who is 76yo very nasty man who was going to dob in another co worker for leaving work early. I asked him why considering he only has about 6 years left on earth ...why be concerned about what others do

I guess only Americans would understand?

I bet he didn't even get a thankyou !! Why bother ?

I think once you get past 80 then it's a case of one day at a time Sad truth we are all going to die

I think it's a great Law , I'm sick of all these do gooders & anti establishment people we have in the West . I hope he gets deported

Of course Duamegette is now the upcoming expat area ,which, unfortunately has raised prices of rents in that area significantly.

I feel nothing for my home country of Australia They screwed us during covid especially in some States Highest taxed nation . I wouldn't pee on the country if it was on fire

I was wondering about retiring Thai people the other day when I was lining up at immigration in the airport. A old guy officer looked 60 over ,I'm thinking does he get a government pension when he retires

The is your second post on Bali beach boys .....they. Sound hot ...and obviously gay4pay

Thankyou for saving us

Davao is said to be safest city , I walked around even at night ,no one blinked a eye at me . But like all cities the traffic was busy and I find Rents in Philippines much higher than Thailand. Even Condo prices to buy are much higher than Thailand especially in Cebu ,looking recently 4 million pesos for a 26sqm Condo is Cebu !!!! No thanks

Just watched a YouTuber saying from August 15, that Vietnam now has introduced the 90 day visa again . I have absolutely no idea about Vietnam,it's one Asian country I have never been to . Any expats in here who have retired to Vietnam? What's the expat areas? How is it financially to live there compared to say Thailand? comfortable living ? I imagine it's more modern than say Philippines and Cambodia? Is Vietnam the upcoming retirement destination?

You forgot the huge cost to live here in Sydney,and the depressing lifestyle, I would rather be in Thailand

You would have to also look at your workplace policy to see if and how long they accept overseas Medical certificates from overseas medical practitioners Better to get your doctor in the USA to do it Whilst you have a lot of sick leave up and I take it you work for the government then use it before you retire
