Instead of hotels, they all spent their 40,000,000 baht on 1 rai of land.

No misreprentation at all when you realize how many people live in Thailand. Everyone in Thailand knows someone that did something, etc., etc., etc. I knew a guy that could juggle beer bottles. Only 1 though. You would think with 66,000,000 people, I would know more with this skill, but I do not.

Of you could bring your own money to Isaan and everyone will really love you!

I hope as executives they know how to spell!

How does he know since he is in New Zealand?

That's pretty racist Bob. Shows your mentality. There are always those that have to pay, we can understand why.

How does a person with a computer science degree, end up in Thailand trying to teach english for peanuts? or why?

Can you do math? What are the odds of 3 out of 66,000,000? Better go buy a boatload of lotto tickets!

We have accumulated 26 rai in Isaan and a 4/3 western house, tractors, trucks, etc. I could care less whose name it is in. Once the money was spent, it was gone.

You knew one Thai lady out of a Thai population of 66,000,000 and then you quote it as fact?

Beware dimwits. Who in the right mind marries someone undeserving?

How does expat requirements to own 1 rai of land for a 40 million baht investment impact ordinary Thai's wanting to own land? Who do you think owns all the land in Thailand? I see a ton of ordinay Thai's in Isaan owning their own land.

it is your doubts, enlighten us with your FACTS?

Well, good thing you have your doubts, short of any facts. Hope it helps you sleep well at night.

When the only source is British expats, what do you expect?

Once a brother always a brother.

Thailand cannot even manage to stop floods from occuring year in and year out. I suspect an oil spill would be a disaster as all those in charge would be fighting for corruption money instead of cleaning the spill up professionally.

Only the extreme 1% richest that want a property in Thailand would go for that and then 1 rai is probably not enough for a Mega Mansion.

Farang is NOT a word in US dictionaries.

I can and it certainly won't be a hospice.

Refreshing to hear stories of men wanting to ensure their wives future security! I spend a good amount of time planning, so my family with never need or want for anything. Cannot put a price on what my wife and son mean to me.

Sounds like you have a solid plan. Not sure how things work in the UK, however, if you get seriously ill in your second retirement, can you stay at home or do you have to get shipped off to a nursing/care home? In rural Isaan where we live, when people get to the point they are going to pass, the hospital will shoot them up with a bunch of morphine and send them home to die with the family. My wife's grandfather passed this year at age 100. He was in the local hospital for a couple days only, then they sent him home to die. He survived another 4 or 5 days at home in bed, surrounded by family 24/7, then one evening died in his sleep. I do not fancy going to a care home and spending my last few days there at all.

Maybe they have been hiding on top of your car is why you have never seen any?

Glad to see you had a plan and didn't trap yourself.
