The conclusion is , I couldn't live in a studio , the ones that look like hotel rooms would be the worst . Watching TV from your bed everyday . Sink outside in some ,in fact some have only the bathroom sink Nope ... couldn't do it I have empathy for you guys doing it ,is that what you wanted in life to end up in a small bedsitter ?

He has, wasn't there a 1.9 written?

The question I should ask is ,what happened to all your money you saved in your working life to cause you to come back for the aged pension? You didn't pay into Superannuation? Aged pension is not a right . You are supposed to save during your working career How did you end up lining up at Centrelink for the pension?

Where do you guys do your cooking

I didn't say you were ! If you read the last 5 threads or so you can see one poster calling another poster BS He then went into say he heard opposite and that a person got approved for portability because he told the appeals court he couldn't afford to live in Australia and apparently according to him they said that's ok your approved and we both know it's nonsense

Nirun is nice they say ????

I'm not from the US and secondly I read the appeals cases mostly to do with denial of Disability support pensions and portability All the cases are on the web and easily accessible I can assure you saying that you can't afford to live in Australia is not a defence to not waiting the 2 year period for the aged pension portability , and nor have I heard anyone winning based on that reason, unlike the poster above who claimed he heard this and they arrived and went back to the Philippines immediately Unfortunately on here no matter what you say ,you will always get someone who wants to write opposite even making up a story , similar to another post I saw on here where the poster disagreed with the OP and said he had a "friend" who hadnt been to Australia for 7 years and received the aged pension portability immediately and went back overseas same day I have no idea why people make up stories just to disagree

I'm looking at real estate in Pattaya now ready for my future I did stay in a 1 bedroom studio ( separated wall ) 28sqm in Arcadia waters condominiums which was great for a short period but could I do it longer ! Studio is good for single busy man I guess Studios , rooms ,bedsitters that's the names they call them. Judging by the real estate sites the majority of for sale are Studio apartment ranging from 16sqm to 38sqm ,my question is who here lives actually lives in a studio apartment/ room /bedsitter ? Do you have a real cooking kitchen or a hotplate setup Do you use the bed to watch TV or actually have a lounge chair? How do you find it for living ? Are you sick of it ? I could not live without a balcony and I saw some for sale without ,one was 16sqm for 300,000 baht

The only post your writing is absolutely nonsense! Sorry I have to call you out on this one , it's not fair on genuine guys wanting help. You told the other poster (4myego) he was writing BS yet you post a claim that someone you heard about was denied the Aussie pension then used in his defence he can't afford to live in Australia and was granted it based on that ! And you know it's not true And you give people on here false hope, when you know it's not true I can assure you no one is granted the pension overseas because their defence is " they can't afford to live in Australia" I put it to you that you made that story up . You cannot provide me a link nor a name not even a year date. Absolutely rubbish and it supports my post above where someone always has to "go against the grain " and knows someone who was granted it when everyone else was denied it His defence according to you is that he "cannot afford to live in Australia" so they granted him the pension ( and same day he arrived too ) You calling the other poster BS but yours is true isn't it But....you dont know who it is...you heard about it though ????

Yeah I know a bloke who knew a bloke who stayed away 50 years came back and got it immediately,he said I can't afford to stay in Australia Electricity bills ,water bills , cost of beer and worst of all cost of women ! Immediately granted same day ????

You have a link? It's ok saying yeah I know a guy who got it yada yada yada but no link or evidence Give me a name I will do Court search Do you remember the year? But you will not because it's BS Doubtful he got it " because he can't afford to live in Australia" .....we would all be using that defence!! He said ' I can't afford to live in Australia! And they said what ..."oh ok then we will grant you the pension ! ???? Just like that

But not should you want to act old . I'm seeing more & more guys in their 60's even younger riding mobility scooters FFS get off to the gym and stop drinking alcohol

Actually I learnt break dancing just a few years ago !!!

Act younger anyway ,as for look younger ......well....

Does diet have any effect ??? Do you think so

Mother's would I guess Would I personally cover up for my son ? Possibly, I mean it's heartbreaking to think that but probably I would Some of you have ,some of you won't ,some of you will

Would you lie for your kids? Would you cover up for them? You know this case got me thinking about morals . Last night I was watching the News in Sydney to see a alleged case of a car with teenagers in it last weekend high speed and crash into another car killing the 2 people inside. Video footage of it by bystanders see the 3 teenagers get out of the crashed car and run off leaving the dying people inside the car they hit Now the car driven by the teenagers was apparently the Grandad's car Next watching the news a elderly man with a walking stick is arrested by police ,they allege he is the grandfather of the teenager responsible for driving the car that killed the people and he was arrested because he claimed it was STOLEN by someone and his grandson was with him when this accident happened, effectively lying for his grandson. Now as he was leaving the court the reporter said to him ..."don't you have any morals ? Now it got me thinking , I don't blame him , I would possibly lie to protect my son or grandson too How far would you go ....you don't know , but you would I guess ,we all would,I don't blame him ,he seemed to be a hurt man Aren't you disappointed in your grand son asked the reporter when the old was leaving court looking sad Some of you won't even leave to move to Thailand because of your children

I have a Asian Australian friend known him for years but lately he was visiting me same age as me 60's but balding grey hair with a frail look , wearing a cardigan with tailored shorts and long socks He showed me pictures of his grandkids ,daughters etc ,he wants to be a family man ,a grand dad ,he wants to look the part ,old frail grey . I told him he looks old because he wants to be

Was discussing this topic with a workmate lady night. So do you know people who want to be old or act old He was saying he is giving some friends away now he has turned 65 and they are of a similar age but do nothing but complain. about life or their greatest talks to him are about their grandchildren receiving awards and they all look old some even 60's with grey hair looking wanting to be a grandfather look. He on the other hand 60's doing powerlifting and going to Thailand and wants to be.....forever young ...I want to be ...forever young . Some driving mobility scooters ,can't walk up Hills , etc Want to be old it seems Wearing cardigans my dad used to wear !!!!! have a friend who is one year older than me, Every conversation is the same someone had a strange car in their driveway for three hours, what their grandkids is doing (he got an ID card, he’s on the football team All want to be old and only in their 60's

No need to be sexist Any info on the guys there? Gay bars ?

Everyone has their price ,I'm sure you do too ????

Great information. I guess we will get someone to write on here the opposite to say they know someone who knows someone and they were away 50 years or whatever and still got the pension back on their first day Always going to be one ,just waiting for that post ????

800 baht ! That's $32 Australian , just saw the Sydney City red bus all day is $28 ????

Yes I think Bangkok would of been a better choice ,then again the traffic would be a nightmare ! Chiang Mai would of been better too but Pattaya? .

800 baht ? Is that a day ?
