The bit 1940,is that indicative of DoB? if so 80 years old,too old to be here

In regulations,one of which states an impossibility for a OAP pensioner to be accused of fraud of his own pension,not looking for that item,also not every allegation will be investigated OAP,it available to read if you want to look it up,Im past that,nobody ever been admonished,someone did a Freedom of Information request years ago,nothing,you do it,might be small fee

Think the word is Savvy Ivor,but you are right,loads of extras handed out,hearing aids/glasses /free NHS/accommodation too,remains to be seen if EU expats keep their unfrozen pensions too,can see the Gateway being busy with contact details being changed Q "as a thought if you have an address in the UK how would the dwp know you were here ,and what would they do? ".......A They would not know/not interested ,and could not do anything even if they wanted (which they don't)

The annoying item here are the MPs who nod this guidance through year on year just because of 80 year old"tradition",the 200 or so MPs responsible,of which over 100,staff inc. facing fines of 100 quid for covid offences,plus others kicked out of office for criminal activities but still allowed to vote on these matters,its more of a joke than a joke. Anyway its non-enforceable, but please give the 4 billion to asylum seekers when half a billion would do for OAP

Retirement in Thailand for low and mid level budget expats -- is the party really over?" Do not know,but as you state "lots", more than likely tho, stick 800,000/400,000 in bank then live off fresh air This thread has been running since 2011, 11 years to be precise in that time the OAP stood at 93 quid a week, will be close on 180 quid a week,in few weeks time,(22/23 rise will be a record breaker),that's close on 50% loss of income,probably more if compounding is taken into account ,plus 2500 quid lost through ancillary too "While substantial Thai tourism will certainly resume once the pandemic subsides, the traditional expat market is already in steep decline. These are the guys who retired here on fixed pensions to enjoy the golden years before the prospect of the crematorium became a near-term possibility." The guy who headed up the consortium for frozen pensions appears to be gone,shame, he pointed out to punters for the right direction, but those results above are chilling,and the "Retirement in Thailand" thread becomes more dominant

The guy in the bar has set himself up for further confrontation,he should have been stretched out

Superb British Detective series,pulls no punches

This must be tremendous interest to fans, 1953,who the hell had a telly then, but enjoy !!

Up for auction non paying condo owners,...see who comes in ugh

My reply? ...who gives a toss? sunshine, sex aplenty,wrap yourself around 1st world assets,keep the world (and Thailand) at bay

Around 600 baht govt hospitals,up to 990 and above private clinics etc

Hate to admit ,but "downtime" seems a dominate feature

They did a good job by all accounts,no RIP ,but Rot in Hell

Should remake these series, truly masterpieces

Sod them,if not killing themselves would be killing others

1230 ish

So in 10 days 5 reported cases,all in well separated areas,none in other Pattaya plus areas "Statements and actions made are entirely their own" is that correct? but also a request for money to our animal friends.......bunkum

No argument from me,especially,never lied ,never told untruth. problem is Green Eyed Monster.....jealousy,"Ive got it ,you ain't" syndrome

What I have previously noticed the hotel gets a 6000 baht commission if they get you into private hospital

Good idea, the Get the State Pension and Gateway plus DL can all be overcome simply by VPN, they must know this,supposed to be in UK when making claim ,ridiculous. Its the PIP Id like to get into ,again non sanctionable,but would need interview with GP,would take time,but times on my side,60 pounds a week tax free,anyone over 70 would sail into it They (DWP) just want you frozen if they can,no objection to that if compliance is no problem,but for some it seems to be a problem

Election looming OAP will be rising for sure,could be 10% hopefully

final stages do No dogs in Patts I do sympathise with these people,they want money,but this is not the way to do it

But I am here to thank you (and others) who make this sacrifice,more money for those not afflicted

You will know when rabid dog is spotted,these are not rabid

You will have issues eventually with payment,..it will get smaller in relation to others
