  1. What’s the purpose of this post? just another disgruntled old man spewing out something absolutely stupid! this is all this forum seems to have, never anything positive!🤷🏻‍♂️I don’t see these types of posts on different SEA forums, just Thailand! why is it all the winners seem to settle there?🤦🤦🤦👎
  2. As far as health care goes, no one dies on the streets in Canada. patients with acute health issues are given priority and given medical treatment asap. This is fact! yes things are getting expensive, but much less than some other countries. it’s expensive everywhere, sorry to inform you. just another broke expat that doesn’t have the financial means to stay in Canada. never hear of people with money complaining about their homeland! don’t like the winter? Simply jump on a plane like most retirees (WITH MONEY) and fly to a destination of your choice. Why stay there if you don’t like the winter? No money? best wishes as you get older and can’t get health insurance. another go fund me in the works! enjoy your rice soup!
  3. Sorry to hear that !
  4. Cheap health care in Thailand? where? government hospitals? you can’t get coverage as you get older! I considered that and know for certain where I should be in my retirement years! no one dies waiting for free medical care in Canada 🇨🇦 lay off the weed! Best wishes in your 20 metre fan room eating rice soup!😂
  5. Being Canadian I too am entitled to 2 pensions. I can take my Canada pension at 60 at a reduced rate and old age pension at 65. I can wait till 65 for my Canada pension at full rate. along with free health care, free prescription drugs, dental work can be deducted from my tax to a certain amount. free long term care when I need my diapers changed! along with my work pension. I feel fortunate to live in Canada 🇨🇦

  10. Lay off the dope and booze brit man, I’ve spent tons of time in both and danang- Vietnam has much nicer and. Cheaper accommodation than Thailand period

  12. Russia and Thailand both have a military dictatorship!
  13. you don’t see old people dying on the streets like Thailand! ftee healthcare, soup kitchens, free long term care, etc etc
  14. I know several guys that live in Thailand, little money, hang out in front of miles mall, eat rice soup, no health insurance, no family. Most boring life I have seen! and that’s before health issues start! then what?
  15. Fact is many have come here, living in a shoe box, eating at tin cup, no health insurance,( hence the go fund me pages) and thought it would be great! grass ain’t always greener on the other side! thailand is no place for a poor man
  16. Are you talking about a Uk expat on pension?
  17. It’s not even starting yet! still waiting for the expats tell us the air is great in Chang nobyl! and what a great place it is and how happy they are there
  18. The Russian mafia has invested this money, and others with illegal money
  19. Those of us that rent sure are smiling now , after the new tax laws were announced!
  20. Thai food is some of the most UNHEALTHY food in the world! period!
  21. Not true, please don’t comment on something you know nothing about
  22. New 90 day visa, no money in bank required, rinse and repeat every 3 months! easy any other questions? that will be the day I leave $800,000 baht in a Thailand bank
  23. There is no way I believe Israel did that! they have absolutely nothing to gain! now would Putin do something like that?
  24. 🇻🇳 Vietnam, by far the friendliest people, most beautiful women and easy visa, or Philippines!
