"They were lining up around the block to take my money. No one's ever done that before! It was beautiful, just beautiful! And my casinos had the best gold drapes you've ever seen! Beautiful, beautiful!!!"

Personally, even if they did away with the 800k rule, I'd still keep at least that much here for emergencies. I top up my account before it drops below THB1M. The money I remit is regular, small profit taking from overseas investments, so the actual loss of investment opportunity is minimal, while the principle not only remains intact, but keeps rising. In addition, the amounts I do remit are far smaller than the taxes I'd be paying if I was a resident of any of the countries I keep my investments in. Investment planning and financial management should be major factors in choosing when / where to retire - predicated on the rules / laws of the retirement location, and whenever this topic is raised, I always wonder at those who earn so much from THB800,000 that they can't afford to leave it in a Thai bank account, but earn so little from the rest of their money that they can't afford to leave THB800,000 in a Thai bank account.

Tony Blair, the legendary Middle East Peace Envoy scheduled a goodwill visit to Jerusalem, complete with cameras, speeches, and meaningful nodding. Midway through explaining how history would remember him kindly, he suddenly went pale, staggered… and dramatically died from a heart attack. After the commotion died down, a funeral arranger approached the British entourage. “To return him to Britain will cost £50,000,” he explained. “However, burial here in the Holy Land would be just £100.” The delegation stepped aside to deliberate. They returned quickly. “We’ll pay to send him back.” The arranger looked surprised. “Why spend £50,000 when he could rest here in sacred soil for £100?” A senior aide leaned in and said quietly: “A long time ago, a man died here, was laid to rest here… and three days later he came back to life.”
