In the olden days people would just go back to their home countries and change their names and apply for a new passport and then return to Thailand.  I am not sure if that is still an option.

The term 'boys' in the thread is not referring to underage children.  Stay on topic, leave the discussion or face a suspension.   It's up to you.

A previous poster mentioned that Japan was expensive. There may be difficulties with visas, but actually living in Japan (as opposed to staying in hotels during peak travel season) isn't too expensive, IMO -- cheaper than my country, anyway. As for Malaysia, I don't like the Islamic attitude to homosexuality, but there are plenty of long stay foreigners, including many gay men, who manage to live contented lives there.

I could live in Malaysia but unfortunately the financial requirements for retirement status are much higher than for Thailand.
