No need to feel sorry for anyone except yourself. Even more so if you don't know the person. We are all grown men living our lives the way we want, opinionated the way we want. A forum is to voice opinions, not to agree with every single thing that is posted. It is like a TV set, change the channel if you don't like it

I am sure taking a dump in your car is really worth it!

Hey baby, want to see my car-house?

The cost isn't crazy if you can afford it, is it?

If you are retired or nearing that age and have to rent versus buy, we can understand the cheap charlie issues.

Who cares about Australia? Are you denying costs haven't risen in Thailand the past 13 years? You don't know anything. Look it up.

If you owned a home in the UK, you would have some assets worth something.

How are you NOT stuck if you have NO money and no place to move to?

Maybe the temple in Nakhon Nayok, where the monk swirls his hand in a giant bowl and then gives out the lottery numbers!

Being the King of Isaan isn't easy, but someone has to do it.

Great that your life's pleasure has been reduced to coffee. As far as your beliefs? You are entitled to those but no one else cares what you believe.

In your dreams maybe?

Shows you just how little power she really has!

Maybe you forgot the original comment? Wasn't mine I started giving my Thai partner 20K baht a month 13 years ago to pay for food, water and electric. I still give her 20K baht a month and if anything we eat better now than then. I have offered many times to increase the amount, but she always refuses and tells me if she runs short she'll let me know. So if the cost of living has increased, it's negligible. He claims 13 years later his is eating better and cost increase negotiable. Electric has sure as heck increased dramatically past 13 years. He wasn't talking about your RVing or how much your costs are in the USA I never think Thailand is a privilege, sorry. I don't consider third world anything a privilege. I also never worry about sticker shock. If you made it to old age and have to worry about how much things cost, you didn't do a very good job.

If you think you are safe making financial decisions in Thailand now based on what will happen in 30 years, good luck.

Give this some thought? 30 years in, the owner of the land may die and pass the land on to his kids. His kids may see a "free" house for themselves in the future and NOT renew the lease. They could sell the land and house and split the money. When free money is involved, watch out. No one can predict what will happen in 30 years. This is Thailand, remember that if a choice between you extending the lease or someone getting a free house, they will take your house 99% of the time.

Cut them off and start off the right way. I have PVC out in the hot sun, over 100F all summer and the glue never unbounds. Don't waste your time.

If you don't think electric has increased the past 13 years you are kidding yourself. Food and cooking gas as well.

Sorry mate you are not living, you are barely surviving. You seem to be content because you know that is all you can afford to do.

The forum certainly isn't going to solve your problem. Only YOU know the cause of these debts, which you haven't shared, therefore you should be the only one that knows the solution. Although the articles does state you are not responsible for her gambling debts, you stated they were not gambling debts? Any debts not used for family purposes, well, if you are not a lawyer, good luck interpreting that. Is helping your family considered family purposes? Also if you read clearly: However, if the house is registered to her as sole personal property, as with foreign - Thai marriages is often the case in Thailand, she IS ABLE to transfer ownership of the house without your consent.. There are some things in life that should be considered carefully, legally, with professionals. Any advise other than professional, legal advice, the risk in on you.

This is the poorest advice I have ever read on this forum. Letting debts go bad? My god man. You can run around life "what if" in the future. Foolish as no one can predict what will happen or what she will do in the future. He is married, if debts incurred during the marriage, now his debt/credit as well. Negotiating a payoff will still screw up someone's credit. Best to let him sort it out, he is the one that will have to live with whatever decisions they make.

Divorced 48 years old with kids have ZERO change of getting remarried. They know this and when there is that ONE potential fish on the line (you), they will pull out ALL the stops to land you. My God man, if you are ANY kind of good man, you can go to Thailand and find a real winner that will want to be with you almost anywhere. You have already talked yourself way down this deep, dark, rabbitt hole. If you cannot rationale with that fact, sooner or later you get to a painful financial amount and the entire forum will tell you "We told you so"

Why are people so dumb period?

Relevant food hygiene authorities. Seriously! In Thailand?
