I swear that lot are former bricklayers who donned frocks after hearing about the predilections of some foreigners.

Perhaps he was thinking of Parador.

Autistic it is. Keep doing you.

I've got to admit that it's a brilliant end run around the complexities of implementing taxes with the dozens of DTAs in effect. I'd leave Thailand but many are invested and/or wouldn't object to such a tax.

Go to a place near boystown and get yourself rubbed down by the twink of your dreams. I don't bat for the other team so can't offer specific recommendations, but you're barking up the wrong tree by being gay and going to women for massages.

I can't tell if you're autistic with poor spelling and punctuation or the next Hunter Thompson. You'd be a great character in one of those art house type films that men who wear scarves and skinny jeans frequent. Do you always go out 'in character' ?

I've got a feeling that there are different factions in the Thai government with conflicting interests and masters whom they serve. Look at the news headlines that contradict each other. One article states that Thailand has had record numbers of tourists, whilst the next article is doom and gloom, and how the TAT has a new scheme to boost tourist numbers. Perhaps Indian tourists out spend retirees on airfares and one faction of government is in the pocket of the airlines. My recent flight from HK was rammed full of Indians. One thing is certain: retirees who marry local women do lift them and their families out of poverty and a foreign pension provides a reliable source of income on which an intergenerational foundation can be built. That is rarely, if ever, mentioned in headlines.

Come now, I was born in the day but it wasn't yesterday. Not everyone is as price sensitive as your female friend sounds to be. I haven't been to Vietnam yet, but my brother has gone a couple of times and told me that the infrastructure in Vietnam is 20 years behind Thailand. It might not be reasonable to compare Thailand and Vietnam as the food and cultures are much different (I've worked with Vietnamese people). Still, Vietnam does sound like a nice place to visit.

It wouldn't start at 200 baht per day,but, like cheap underwear, the fee could crawl up to that. Why bear such an insult?

Maybe that's why I've never seen 'Retire in Portugal for £500/month' (in a British underclass accent) videos on YouTube.

The Thai government is softening up the retirees for a major soaking. Foreign retirees are a major drain on society with all of the free benefits they receive, and someone has to pay for it (yes, this is sarcasm). As George Carlin said "they're coming for your pension..."

They're unsophisticated consumers who only recently gained access to credit. Easy meat for salesmen and bankers.

Is that what you did when your teens went through their first heartbreak and thought that life would never be the same? Here you go, daughter, I'll buy the rope and tie the noose so that your neck breaks and you don't have to suffocate whilst clawing at your neck. I'll buy a tall enough ladder so that you drop the proper distance, too. Son, you know where the 12 gauge is. There's a box of slugs in the top drawer of my desk and the gun barrel has been cut so that someone your height doesn't mess it up and require me to care for a disfigured child for the rest of my life. Yes, this is a ridiculous, hyperbolic response. Or is it?

Ride a motorbike around the country and get off the main highways and the amount of abject poverty is shocking. The bar must be set pretty low to come up with such a small percentage of poor people. The number of debt slaves is a different story that is also worth examining.

They prefer to visit their countrymen in France before making way in an un-seaworthy vessel. It gives a more dramatic effect. I've heard that the cars in Kent are preferable to an Airbnb.

Does Harry stay in contact with his biological father?

Use dogs on them. Africans are terrified of dogs.

The ladies should duke it out in an oil wrestling match, with proceeds going to a mental health charity.

So much for free enterprise and creative destruction. The owners will lecture their employees about risk/reward to suppress wages, then, in the same breath, ask the government to subsidize their business. Sounds like Boeing and Air Canada have entered the Thai restaurant scene.

More corporate welfare. Privatise the profits and dump the losses onto the public. Corporations are socialist, not free enterprise.

The heavy petting zoo.

Yes, but he has a reputation for flinging excrement at his visitors, so wear appropriate protective gear.

Here are quotes for a male, aged 60 https://checkdi.com/th/health/plans?gender=Male&age=60&ipd=1&opdf=0&nump=1&q=&lg=en&leadid=656367

You full blooded homosexuals find katoeys as repugnant as we heterosexual men do. Your instincts served you well. Would you have done the same to a young, smooth skinned twink?

He's a homosexual.
