Yes well at that age you would have to get everything done as fast as possible and good on you for making 83 ,

Oh please ...if the musics too loud....your too old !

I have just emailed the Phillipines consulate here in Australia about it demanding answers

Oh it's obvious you have no children He was a child expressing himself,having a prank , trying to have fun

Oh please there's no need to be prejudice towards him He is a young man expressing himself

No That means going to bed at 2am

Excellent point and you hit the nail on the head You can't afford it , simply as that You get a major sickness ,cancer or heart ,you GO BACK to Australia or the UK ,no other way around it

I noticed a Go Fund for him Please consider

Oh calling the pot kettle black or whatever the saying is....you Sir were offended at others....Farting !

Farting can be funny to some people I remember a work colleague years ago go into hysterical laughter as he recounted a story one time on our lunchbreak. He had gone to the supermarket to buy lunch and encountered a elderly woman in the shopping aisle who he heard ....FART He apparently went into hysterics immediately,even falling down on the aisle floors As he was telling myself the story he laughed with tears coming out of his eyes ,he found it hysterical

You own your own condo which is a benefit to you , although you do have to pay Strata fees and your own maintenance repairs eg plumbing etc

Yes consider where they would be living in the UK or Australia on that amount and living in a 21sqm unit near the beach in Pattaya is a far better alternative

My favourite youtubers used to be the "pranksters" jokers or whatever you want to call them. Surprised to read VITALY the American Russian famous YouTuber was arrested in the Philippines yesterday playing "jokes" on normal Filipino citizens The "pranks" he put on live to his audience were stealing a police motorcycle, stealing a security guards cap , walking up to people and making noises in their ears , farting at the police and asking the cops what he can do with a banana lol "can I shove this banana up your ,he asks a street cop ? Then farts lol And the silliest funniest one which turned out to be a Filipino Senators wife was last Monday in Manila's upper class BGC he went up the elderly lady and pranked he was going to rob her and then farted He is currently in a Filipino jail And thus my dear fellows this is the age of the generation that thinks it's all a joke ,a laugh to shout in your ear , throw water at you etc Oh he was only joking !!!!

Air conditioning unit? I guess most have a fan Do you really need Acon ?

Yes very true And some of these 21sqm condo rooms in Pattaya have no kitchen. They need to buy a microwave and a hotplate to cook

Your right But....there is no free Senior citizens centres in Pattaya unlike Australia/UK So it leaves bars

No idea if a keto diet is better for you on 40k a month but I'm guessing any exercise is The thing is gyms are expensive in Pattaya comparable to Australia 1500 baht a month !! Probably better looking for a Condo with a gym or just doing walking

Exactly I refuse to use them for the cockroaches, I'm spraying insecticides everywhere instead

They maybe possums too . You will have to hire a Thai tradesman to go up there ,that's the only way

Oh put the old AC/DC on at full blast !

We are talking about living on the Aussie ...or... and I was going to say "Pommy" pension in Pattaya ....but apparently the word "pommy" is now offensive so must say UK I guess to be PC .. The thing is ,I was paying 100 baht a beer in those sports lounges in Soi Bukhao ,how could one afford that everyday if on a aged pension of roughly 40-45k You would have to quickly get to KNOW where to drink or eat cheap and I mean QUICK otherwise you will lose your pension No going to breakfast everyday ...well ok, it appears most of you pensioner expats DON'T anyway ? No going to the Sports lounges to pay 125 baht a beer ! The difference is ,you can live on it in Australia or the UK ,can you do it in Pattaya? Actually seeing a GP in Australia is not free unless you can find what you call a "bulk billing" doctor which means charges the Government not you , hard to find bulk doctor nowadays so it's roughly $60 (1200 baht) to see a doctor unlike the UK where apparently it's free for pensioners to see a GP??? Medicines also not free in Australia I think $5 (100 baht ) for pensioners , correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not yet on the aged pension As for living in your aged pension in Pattaya, is it cheaper to cook your OWN food or just buy cooked Thai food?

The difference is ,you were getting paid ,it was a workplace

Oh tell 'em the price son !!

You live cheaper in Australia? It's possible I guess , especially if you live in the country

For Aussies pensioners living meagre in Asia , I found a forum board full of Aussie pensioners living in asia dspoverseas.proboards com
