Hi
Is Samui suitable for retirees or is it more suitable for younger people?
I would like to have your opinions
Cheers

Because normally any negative posts about AN, particularly about ads closed immediately. I could barely write this post without 6 pop ups. You can't even see what u are writing
That's one of the things I was alluding to.
It's difficult writing this post now
I'm thinking its not worth the effort anymore

I'm surprised thread still open?
Why not?
I have been a member for many years.
I'm only giving my opinion as a long standing member.
The powers that be might consider it a valid post, if it's turning people like me away from the forum then that's not what they are aiming to achieve.
If nobody speaks up then nothing changes.
It may change, but it probably won't
We will see!

Adverts are ruining this site along with great difficulty navigating the site
Thai Visa is just not what it was
That's a shame I've been here almost 20 years, had a stint as a moderator , tough job, kudos to those that still do it.
I've seen the vast majority come and go down the years and I am sad at what I see now
This is just something I want to get off my chest, I doubt anyone will notice

I use an agent assisted retirement visa for 12,500 BHT in Pattaya (I know there are other options for free/low cost but it best suites me for now). I am 63 and waiting for 67 when I get my full SS annuity from FRA at $3500/month. I have been drawing $3K from my savings for my expenses in the USA and also in Thailand. I have a condo in Pattaya. I don't drink but smoke weed almost everyday. Getting an intimate date with a sugar baby in the USA costs an average $5K in addition to my monthly expenses. Hence, my saving is also dwindling rapidly.
I ran a Montel Carlo simulation with 5-7% market return to see how long my savings will last using the mean average of my monthly expenses of the last year and the outcome is not good. It will last 10 more years when I included my 3.5K SS from the age 67.
I was thinking if I move to Thailand for 11 months a year, I can reduce my expenses and also have more intimate dates with sugar babies and my savings will last longer.
Here are my planning.
1. An insurance if I live in Thailand for 11 months.
2. Get an LTR visa at 67 (Need some other type of income like some type of immediate annuity for remaining 40K required for 80K USD monthly pension requirements).
What are your thoughts? Is it a workable solution for my predicament?
5,000 $ a month on hookers!!!
I must be mistaken

Warranty is five years for a structure and one year for non-structural parts.
But this is not law right?
I was told the house I am buying had a 5 year warranty by the agents, but now just before I have to pay my full 10% I find that it's only one year!
But I had nothing in writing from the agents so I can't prove that I was mislead.
This bothers me a lot, it was the main reason for buying new build
Any comments?

I was seasoned many years ago, working in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. A bout of sandfly fever, then basically immune from then on.
You may be one of those people who has developed an excessive immune response to the bite. It gets worse with every bite, so your best strategy is to avoid sandfly areas entirely.
I don't know about sandflies being attracted to certain people. I do know if there is a mosquito in our bedroom, it will home in on my GF every time, and ignore me.
Yikes, I'm in the process of moving to HH to enjoy the beaches, looks like that is gonna be a challenge now!

Does anyone else really suffer with these little critters?
I got a pasting just walking on the beach on Friday, brought Deet yesterday and put on liberally this morning but got a bite as soon as I sat down which has made my forearm swell up like Popeye.!
I was also recommended Sanobet cream and calamine lotion, but right now it's really quite painful and just keeps on swelling.
It seems for some unknown reason they are attracted to me, I was sitting with 3 others in a deck chair on the beach and nobody else got bitten....why me?

I too suffer badly from GERD
When it was bad a few weeks ago I saw a GI doctor at Chiang Mai Ram and he prescribed me Gasmotin twice a day before meals , breakfast and dinner, and Vociniti 10mg ( Vonoprazan) once a day before breakfast.
My symptoms have significantly improved, if I do get a flare a gulp of White Rabbit anti acid drink, but that's hardly occurred since I started taking the medication.
I was having trouble EVERY morning before
Good luck GERD sucks

Two unrelated options. 1. Perfect Pedigree & 2. Possible local/domestic breeder contact at the reservoir.
I doubt very much each of the goldens at the reservoir were sourced through PP. and was simply suggesting you head that way and chat with the owners with a view to establishing where they purchased.
Apologies for the confusion.
No problem, always glad of people taking thier time to try and help

Perfect Pedigree has golden listed:
https://www.perfectpedigreethailand.com/may-21-purebred-male-and-female-golden-retrievers.html
If you want to talk direct to owners go to Angkaew reservoir around 1700 Sunday as there's usually 2 or 3 there.
I contacted them and they said the pups were shipped from abroad.
Very expensive as well, I paid 5,000 baht for my last one with a pedigree, they want over 30k.
So I am a bit confused when you say the owners are at this reservoir on a Sunday with some dogs, according to the message from them ,they can't be.
I know you are trying to help Mahseer but I'm confused?

Hi,
Does anyone know of any breeders that have some that will be available in July?
I looked at the archived posts and there was someone, but that page no longer exists.
I had one for 13 years , she died 6 years ago and its taken me this long to prepare to love another dog as I loved my last one.
Many thanks

"I have come commonly across the names of Dr. Wittiwat, Dr Supon and Dr. Phitsanu Mahawong, and others, and have read a variety of reports on them and think they would all be very good doctors to see. "
I am familiar with Wittawat.
Looking for recommendations for other urologists.
"...Dr Supon and Dr. Phitsanu Mahawong, and others, and have read a variety of reports on them...".
Did you find the reports you read on this site or other sources?
Do you still have links for those reports?
Did you visit any urologists and have any report you can share - satisfied or not?
I have seen all these doctors.
I still have urethral issues.
I go to Bumrungrad now

I have seen every urologist in the main hospitals here in CM
IMHO they are not very good and I have had my urethra damaged.
You really need to go to BK for any urology issues.
Good luck

นำเข้า???????? (Exp05/24) Mct Oil Natures Way Mct Oil From Coconut KETO (480ml) น้ำมัน เอ็มซีที คีโต ขายดีอันดับ 1 ในอเมริกา
game changer for me!!!!! It's not that cheap at like 750 baht per bottle, but I take a teaspoon when I wake up right before black coffee and NO headaches ever, no appetite, and I'm good to roll until around 11 a.m. (wake up at 6 a.m.). Now I walk in 7-11 and wonder how I ever craved any of that "devil food". lol. If I do carbs, I'll do it for breakfast on the weekend and AFTER one hour after getting some MCT oil.
ok, i've highjacked this thead maybe too much. sorry, good luck.
I have an unopened bottle of coconut oil in the cupboard, I will check in the morning if it is the one you recommend
Samui for Retirement
in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao

After reading your answers to my question, I don't think Samui would be right for me.
I rely on good hospitals a lot now after a life of deborchary it's been catching up with me lately and I need hospitals.
I can't get health insurance, I am uninsurable, if some of you follow the Health Forum I was a regular poster on that up to a year ago but things are better for now.
I am in CM , have been for almost 20 years, only been to Samui once , and that was before I moved to Thailand.
Figure I would probably fit in in Hua Hin
I'm coming up 70, have spent a lot of time there recently sussing it out, I have sold my house , I've gotta get away from the annual burning, my doc says it would do me the world of good to "go south".
But before I make that leap, I just wanted to throw Samui into the mix and you guys have helped open my eyes regarding why it would not be so good for me.
I thank every poster for taking the time to write their thoughts here
Much obliged
