I have been in Thailand for 10 years now and have excellent life although I go to UK every year for few weeks. Last year I went back in mid pendemic and decided to stay 6 months renting one bed furnished apartment in Nottingham in good area. My average monthly expense was around £2000 per month including apartment rent of £700, had 6 month contract with car lease (brand new car) costing £400 per month plus fuel. Used to eat out about 2 or three times a week mainly in pub early evening offers. This was real test for me as since I came back have suffered heart attack and had pnomonia staying in Bangkok Hospital Pattaya for 11 nights to recover. Dont have health insurance, had to pay -1st time in hospital like this for long stay but still feel Pattaya is much better place to live n enjoy life as long as you can move about. Once I will need help to move or for living do not know what to do ? I have been living alone and is 71 Age.
