With inflation 1 million USD should last aprrox 20 to 25 years.

Some of the nicest business owners I have met are the purveyors of these shops. Very sad.

It is a shame how many people I know who have lots of assets here, with no death plan. Very selfish if one puts the burden of this on loved ones in another country. You really want them to come here and deal with it? You know it will just be a big hassle. I think a minimalist type lifestyle is best. I have a car here, but that is my most valuable asset and my Will makes arrangements for that. Otherwise, cremation and I already told my family not to come. PS: anyone that believes their embassy will take care of things seems a bit naive. Many of them seem unable or unwilling to assist with simple matters now. When you die think they care?

Are those procedures outpatient here? Just seems like they always want you to stay in the hospital for a few days after procedures that in western countries, you walk out the door or get a ride when they are finished.

If they stay in the south, good.

Yes Pattaya is the closest you will ever get to it. Enjoy it now.

It will never change. It takes billions of dollars and many years to reduce this problem. They can start with the filthy tuk tuks and the sidecar motorbikes that are always old and belching exhaust. Then go to the buses.

Meds or is your aircon clean?

This country may be the loudest in the world. How about walking into a shop or mall. Or even outside, gigantic loud speakers big mouths advertising yelling some garbage. I think they truly believe the louder they can talk, the more chance you will buy something. Insanity.

All these wonderful smart people thinking they are helping the environment good for them. Tesla seem ugly with no style in my opinion. Probably hiso status thinking buyers drive your Tesla to Starbucks and take photos.

Really good info thanks

In my opinion Siam Pharmacy at Ploenchit is possibly the best pharmacy in the country. Very busy place, they have just about everything, and I believe their prices are a bit lower then any other pharmacy.

Money. 3 or 4 ST much more money then LT. Also, from both standpoint why go LT and hunt and peck or use Google translate to communicate? Plus, after a day or 2 both seem to be bored. On this, many of the attractive girls have been everywhere even out of the country. Going to Koh Samet for the 10th time just ain't excting.

It has changed over the past 10 years I think. Many more just ST. Also, many of these girls can make 50 k a month easy. And, a lot have other jobs they are getting paid. Why go with some guy for a relationship with a lousy pension or little money who will pay her a lot less. They have freedom and are making good money it is preferred.

It is peak season the flight fares seem to be at least 1000 b higher each way. If you wait until closer to flight date, much higher. Bangkok hotels for a 4 star are about 30% or more higher. Other places in the country seem higher. Add, with holiday after holiday after holiday, this place is in debt big time. I met a Thai female last week. She dropped her purse and honest to God 9 or 10 credit cards fell to the floor. Needless to say I blocked her. Crazy no self awareness or accountability of their debts.

Too many military facilities around the world are under utilized this is a good idea.

One of the more false observations of Pattaya currently. If shops are closing, 2 more are opening. Many areas are jammed, traffic worse then ever. Walking street, new bar areas, new restaurants and shops everywhere. Beach Road most afternoons is like a parking lot cars backed up. Jomtien is crowded. Busier then before Covid. https://www.travelweekly-asia.com/Destination-Travel/The-worlds-most-overcrowded-tourist-destinationsĹ It is 2 in all of Asia for overcrowded.

Pretty crappy. An embarassment really. I know some Thais who have worked in factories the best thing about it they have said is OT is usually plentiful. Work a lot of hours and they can make 15k + a month. Still, a lousy wage but at least livable.

There is too much WWMS here. Weak Western Male Syndrome. They let the female control their lives. Brag about their wife or GF handling all the finances or any problems that arise in life. All seems very weak and naive. Any man who has been cleaned out here, or is fearful of this happening look in the mirror. A real man who is smart, knows what's going on, is the boss, and stands up for themselves would never let that happen.

Interesting my experience is Expats mostly have no wills. Buying condos and cars several bank accounts with no plans when they pass. They actually think their embassy will take care of things. Best to have 2 I believe and I had mine drawn up by a reputable lawyer in both places.

Scuba has the best recommendation for an agent in my opinion. They can do just about anything very nice and helpful. The boss lady is awesome there, but if you make a problem and raise your voice, she will put you in your place. So, don't do that:)

Interesting how those are 4 of the most liberal states in the country. Just sayin.

If he is American he could be looking at 15 years Federal time for illicit activity in a foreign country. Either way, if all true he must be a tool and should be deported.

Thais go there for wannabee highso photo ops for FB, IG and Tik tok. It is garbage maybe the worst coffee in Thailand give me a 7-11 coffee over this mess.

Exempt 6 by air in a year they will flag you in the system and tell you to get a Visa in the future.
