3 month old news

This thread illusteates very well why most posters can't find a woman back home..... and yes this includes myself.

Japan population 125 million - 3.3 million millionaires. China population 1.4 billion - 780,000 millionaires. And those millionaires do not come to Thailand. You must also think Thailand is also filled with ultra rich when you pass by Thonglor. Too funny.

Chinese are not as stupid as Thai

Would it be able to change the thread title so I don't look like an idiot for future generations googling this topic.

Not me, but my wife's father who is 75 years old. He just got back from a MRI scan and from reading it it looks like a total (Category III) muscle rupture. Some most important text from the scan: "FINDINGS: The study reveals supraspinatus tendinosis with full thickness full width tear at tendon insertion with medial tendon retraction to level of humeral head, measured about 3.0 cm in transverse diameter and 1.4 cm in AP diameter. Mild atrophy of supraspinatus muscle is noted (Goutalliers grade II). There is subscapularis tendinosis with low grade partial thickness tear involved the articular surface at tendon insertion, measured about 0.9 cm in transverse diameter and 0.6 cm in vertical diameter. There is infraspinatus tendinosis with low grade partial thickness tear involved the articular surface at tendon insertion, measured about 1.6 cm in transverse diameter and 0.7 cm in AP diameter. The teres minor tendons show normal size and signal intensity." The hospital (Bangpakok) quoted him 300k for the what I think is keyhole surgery. This will be out of pocket. He managed ,to get MRI scan paid for by using his accident insurance, but they will not cover the surgery as it is over budget. So, today they are going to try and use a 30 baht scheme, but I don't think this is going to work or that it will be free. In any case I did some amateur research even here on Asean now and read some replies by Sheryl. However, some replies got me worried about the surgery as it seems that when it is done on older people it may make things worse or/and the tear might come back. Some suggested that surgery, even for total rapture is not necessary. I found this article which it seems to support this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29433644/ I just want what is best for the old man.

I am Canadian and have compared private healthcare costs in Montreal (where there is a thriving private healthcare industry) to Thailand. Most costs are cheaper in Montreal. This got me curious and wanted to compare the same healthcare costs to Australia. To my surprise (come on, not really), most of the procedures in Aussie private hospitals are cheaper than Thailand. https://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/surgery-cost-calculator mind you this is BUPA and it is probably already an overpriced quote. I think I may just fly to a medical holiday in Australia when I have an issue and deal with competent doctors who I am sure when something goes wrong will not charge me extra for their screw up.

Your wife is correct. I don't understand why white man comes to this forum and does not believe their own wife who by my own experience have a pretty good knowledge about how their country works. And if by some chance you fall for those introductory interest rates, be aware that those rates are also calculated different than your home country... this is the part that will leave you even more confused. Lets say your promo rate is 2.5%, yet it will still be calculated at 7%. Your payments will be lower, but payments towards principal will be counted at 7%. Confusing, eh? And who is taking the loan? The loan term will be adjusted to borrower's age which I think is 60 years max. So, your monthly payments may vary depending on this factor,

What a bunch of crap

Wrong. The survey was taken by American adults. Read the detailed Washington Post article on the issue.

One of the most overrated developers on the planet. Just because the windows don't leak after heavy rain is somehow a pinnacle of real estate ability in Thailand.

Just to put things into context.....

It still requires paying taxes, no? Doubt any retirees qualify.

This topic is not much worse than another glorious bumgun thread. I am guessing that many who praise the wonders of bumgun and have gone to great lengths to even install one back home are also the ones who marry bargirls and bring them home. They never heard of bidet or japanese tolilet but wouold rather have $h1t spread all over the bathroom.

So no need to deposit into Thai bank account at all? Sounds too good.....

3 million is not a lot of money, but how long does it need to be locked during those 10 years? One of my biggest issues is I croak and the government takes it all.

Since I earned it and put my time into it, I think would like to keep it. Because it is always nice to have options in life ????

Begging for money already?

After reading all the replies I will not have any kids

Oh her, I think a few months back she met someone special.
