  1. Don't forget most Thais have hearing damage, from an early age, the schools, village, and temple blaring speakers, and those trucks with speakers, The schools seem to be the worst, I'd like to watch the inter-school football, but the commentator non stop shouting over the speakers makes impossible for me. We went to a 'School Party' and the volume was 83 !! decibel. I kid you not.
  2. I have been on both, I am not wealthy and am self funded when it come to health issues, that is my main reason for now staying on a marriage extension, so my money is not tied up, for a retirement extension. 800,000 baht must stay for 5 months all up, having to worry about not dropping below that for med bills is a no brainer for me. as opposed to 400,000 that is only needed for 2 months of the year for being married.
  3. Well who else gets their hands on it ??? and why is it secret???? who has the power to allocate who the billions go to ??? Go on I dare YOU . sounds like a not so veiled a threat to me.
  4. I meant to add I used a swimming 'Noodle' lots of ways to use that to strengthen muscles, bend in a U shape push down with a foot and arms, round the back of the neck and under the arms, sit there like an armchair kick the legs if possible.
  5. I spent a year in a wheelchair, luckily all I had were broken bones/pelvis, I could only just walk on crutches, after one month, putting very little weight on my legs. I won't bore you with 18 month recovery. Try to find a heated hydrotherapy swimming pool with disability access for him, I found it so good, with no weight, I understand he may not ever recover, but the feeling of being able to move around in the water gave me such a good feeling. I had a list of physio exercises to do There are also Taxis with wheelchair ramps if he gets that bad. Also the choice of wheelchair is important some are really heavy, others are lightweight good for putting in a car. Plenty of poorish disabled Thais I have seen with modified M/C, one trike I've seen, he goes up the back in his wheelchair. but at 80 I'd not be doing that. Get him swimming if you can.
  6. Cliff Richard was/is touring at 83
  7. Let me do the sums....360,000 pounds for a couple to stay 10yrs yes it is doable + all medical costs for maybe 10yrs
  8. So for a couple 3,000 pounds a month 129,000 baht a month what a bargain!
  9. Nowhere does it say 1,500 pounds is for two people.
  10. Yeh we know what this article is but aren't allowed to say, if they are "flocking" here then why even mention it, they would be full. This "story" appears at least once a year.
  11. So they don't die if they stay in Thailand then.
  12. 1,500GPP = 64,500 baht a month even with meds is expensive in my mind and that is for one person. Plus their government pension will be frozen when they leave the UK.
  13. They can handglide, wind surf, and be used as a straw apparently to suck up something in your nose so I've been told.
  14. My wife launders my money often, and adds softener The first time I came across plastic notes was yonks ago in OZ 'coz they would go swimming/surfing with money in their pockets, Not sure if now but Thai bank notes were made in the UK.
  15. Yes like the UK 10 shilling note and the Pound note, if Thailand stayed as a cash society for example in years to come we would probably have a 100b coin what I'd like to see now is a 5k note and get rid of those silly little satang, shirt buttons are more expensive.
  16. Yes the plastic notes are waterproof tear proof, but don't deep fry them, inflation what used to cost 10b now costs 100b or you could use the term devalued I suppose or you'd be paying 1 thousand for a 100b item.
  17. I'd be more interested in what she does the 8 months of the year your not here, is she actually free to marry? (and how many kids does she have) before I would even consider handing over a large sum of money to her. You can open a bank account here by the way, through an agent. Also what sort of sum are you talking about? 1/2 a million? 5 million? As said who's idea was it for you to buy? Have you seen the proof that She owns it? have you even visited the property? like check her ID against the ownership papers that to the best of my knowledge only the land office has, having her name in the house book does not mean she owns it. Sorry to disillusion you mate but be prepared to get scammed.
  18. 😱 What is that in her pants? 😱 she looks pleased to see him
  19. Fake news he kissed the back of his OWN hand not Hers.
  20. They do work is all I can say. Actually my nose got broken one time and I thought about having an op. done as my left nostril that was completely closed, after using these it just cleared, now sometimes either nostril will sometimes block but these little beauties do the trick in 5min I feel the congestion come into my mouth and then just spit it out. nice talk at lunch time init. I also needed oxygen sometimes before sleep now no longer needed. 👍🏻
  21. I have the same problem, and these clear it out. available everywhere about 25b
  22. Tell him not to worry his GF will still be working in the same bar when he comes back. And say goodbye to any money he will owe you.
