Condo purchase in Pattaya ?
I think it would be much more competitive were the 1/3 thing true.

Toilets - one or two piece.
I've always had two-piece, but the next ones I buy will be one piece. Whatever you get, make sure you can buy good replacement seats for it. Good luck finding anything with a big tank, those days are over.

You have $5,000 a month in the USA
You did not say your income was $5K after taxes, you said it was almost that. No No, please explain it. And in many cases, it's 0% less, and in many others it's 50% less, are you sure you understand what net pay means? Yeah, you have to pay for part B, but as a high-income individual that $175 a month is likely not that significant. I'm low income and I don't really miss it. What you actually said was: "The only real concern I have is the cost of health insurance for my age group(60 and older. I checked and without the subsidey my monthly premium would range between $600 to over $1,000. Everything is doable and manageable." So that would imply you were 60 or over. You claim you are over 60, and I have no reason to think you would not be truthful, so once you hit 65, you can get Medicare A and B, and it will cost you something over $175 a month, yes?

You have $5,000 a month in the USA
I did not mean to imply that you said you were low income, I meant to imply that you implied you were low income and had little savings? If that's not what you meant to imply, I'm sorry. Did you mean to imply that you were high income with a large savings? If so, that's fine. If you have a high income and a large savings, you will likely not qualify for "free" medical in the US. But because you implied (I think) you are over sixty, you only have a few years to Medicare, yes?

Hamas Plots Attacks on Israeli Embassy and U.S. Military Base in Germany
But clearly international law does give limited license to use whatever tactics a military force adopts against an enemy embedded in the local populace.

Sorry, I never meant to imply that you actually said, "I have low income". In reference to Medical, what I said was "...with your low income and lack of savings you would likely qualify for..."

It's all people that know nothing can do.- The Investing Year Ahead
You claim was: "As a foreigner, the words "Thailand" and "investing" should not be used in the same sentence." I have a wife and son in Thailand, and even if I did not, any investment I might have here could be liquidated in the event I wanted to leave. I am not worried about my visa, If I lose it, I'll move back to the states. There are still plenty of nice places to live there. Most of your reasoning makes little sense. What does having to fly home for medical care have to do with anything investment wise? I invest in international funds that include any number of countries where I would "...have no "right" to permanently live in the country.", does that make international funds a bad investment? Silly. That the bank in Thailand pays less in interest than the bank in your home country, or that capital gains on real property in your county is better than in Thailand may make investing there a better idea for you than storing cash or buying real estate in Thailand, but it does not make investing in Thailand the terrible risk you want to make it out to be. Much of what you say I agree with. My brokerage account is in the US as is most of my cash. I am not advocating investing in Thailand, but I think claiming/implying one would be a fool to invest here or keep money here is wrongheaded. We live in a building that's worth about 150% of what we paid for it about ten years ago. Over that same ten years, my US investments have more than tripled, but that does not make our home a bad investment any more than drawing 4-5% in my US bank (now) make the 1.5-3% we draw in the Thai bank a bad investment. Incidentally, I seem to recall that the Thai banks were paying much better interest than were the US banks not that long ago.- You have $5,000 a month in the USA
I lived in the US for over twenty years without medical insurance and never had any difficulty getting medical care, and I had a lot of medical care, and never paid for any of it. If the median home price is $1M, that means that half of the homes sold are under that. Incidentally, I grew up in Californian as well, and had hundreds of thousands of dollars in "free" medical under Medical, which with your low income and lack of saving you would likely qualify for.- Hamas Plots Attacks on Israeli Embassy and U.S. Military Base in Germany
Oh, you're a teacher, that explains a lot. In any event, you made a false claim and can't back it up, typical leftist.- You have $5,000 a month in the USA
In the US is you have no savings medical is free. If you have significant savings, buy a house and a new car with the savings and get medical free.- Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
I would not support any ceasefire agreement that did not mandate the release of all hostages on the first day.- Bangkok vacation
I like Hua Hin, but not as a tourist destination. First timers (I think) should hit Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya. These are the places most people are going to ask if you've been when you tell them you went to Thailand. Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya are both nice day trips from Bangkok.- Hamas Plots Attacks on Israeli Embassy and U.S. Military Base in Germany
