actually why don't you tell me how all my money will go in 60 days, clearly you must of calculated it all before you made that comment so please give me the details on how my money will run out in 60 days?

You will go out somewhere , just for one beer .

Three weeks later , you will be lying in the gutter , still wearing the same clothes , lost passport , no money left and you will launch a gofundme scheme to try to get a ticket back home again

    You are joking, aren’t you? Go to any construction site in Thailand and shout “free beers on me!” In Burmese and you’ll be mobbed.

You said you want to start a new life in SEA.... 

what are your plans for day 61 onwards.?

I’m guessing he’s not planning on lasting that long.  With his medical issues, and his tendency to keep quiet about problems until too late, I’m reckoning ‘hacked to death by a pimp / drug dealer’ before true alcoholic poverty and squalor get to him.  If I was a gambler, I’d open a book on it

ok fine, if I went to Thailand with full intentions of committing suicide and I wanted to live life to the fullest each day i.e stay in a hotel room each night, go to bars etc  then yes 30 to 60 days, maybe 90 if I'm lucky.

 

but if I went to travel and find work and then the possibilities are endless.

Just one 7/11 hot dog would leave me considering a leap off of the balcony.

 

If you're a MaccyD lover however you might last a while.

Oh come on SC give the laddie a job cleaning your pumps!

Strangers are consumed first.

i would secure the nembutal before i pissed away the money on thailand,

i would also secure an indefinite income before coming here.

until then, the best option is to buy a condo where you live to cut expenses

Now, I certainly appreciate that the sky is the limit and that young people can do anything, but unless you have some job skills that  they need in SE Asia, or lots of money ( e.g. 1 million pounds +) your prospects are limited, very limited.

Limited to what most people here enjoy...

i dont feel like being old, i never intended to become 40 in the first instance,

now i'm 50 and still not dead ?! the nerve !

to add injury to insult i also have pain most of the time,

pain can be kept at bay by staying in bed at all times,

but it got old looking at the roof

I personally don't think I could wait around for years being depressed and miserable hoping Nembutal becomes available for suicidal people, I'm giving myself 3 options, jump off the balcony, Charcoal poisoning or hanging. I want to do it in Thailand, enjoy some thai heat, thai food and thai ass before I go. 

 

I also have health issues, it really does suck, life isn't worth living. Seeing all these healthy happy people enjoying their lives adds salt to injury.

I don't think they would accept a mood swinging sometimes depressed quiet guy with poor posture approaching 30.. maybe back in the day when I was 18, happy and good straight posture, I would have a successful escort career in Japan.  

 

I see myself more likely standing on beach road in sleazy Pattaya, selling my depressed worthless ass to some old fat guy from the Middle East, its called self sabotaging, when your miserable and your life is shit, you want to make it more shit because you just don't care anymore.

sorry for the suicidal negative posts on here I'm just having issues with my pelvic issue, can't really empty my bladder fully, so I pee but after I feel some left but i can't get it out so I have to try and squeeze out the urine..annoying as hell, only worse at bed time when need to sleep.

 

think I figured it out..sneezing, hayfever making me sneeze a lot, when I sneeze my messed up tight pelvic muscles contract or tighten up even more, maybe some inflammation occurs and I think that's causing the urine issue therefore giving me suicidal thoughts. Normally I'm in Thailand in the summer and I don't have any hayfever symptoms in Thailand, so I didn't see this kind of issue happening.

 

for the people saying I need to fix this before I go to Thailand for work, I don't think I can go through with that again, tried it before and it didn't help, ok yeah I go see a different kind of specialist but it will take months and months, maybe a year to get a diagnose, and only 2 options will occur, surgery or physio because I know its a mechanical issue with the pelvic bones being at of place after the Bicycle fall impact on my left hip and low back.

 

if there's no cure for sciatica then I doubt they can cure me, its a dog eat dog world as they say, some people have bad luck, get health problems, that's life, it's a cruel world.

 

I also have Tinnitus and poor posture (hunch back, forward head posture) due to being hunched over a sink for 7 + years washing pots, which adds to my 'my life sucks' attitude. 

 

the only way I think I could live a happy life is in Thailand or Vietnam or something,  for some reason my pelvic issues ease off slightly when I'm in Thailand, maybe because of diet or something ? I can easily get a beautiful girlfriend and that would make me happy too (never had a girlfriend before).

 

but I do also have some mental health issues which may be obvious to tell on this forum, so that might get in the way of me making sensible smart decisions for myself and my life. 

 

You definitely DO NOT want to move to Thailand then. It's not a country for disabled people, but I thought you said you'd been here already, so you'd know that.

yes really, £30 for London to Copenhagen, and £170 for Copenhagen to Bangkok,  its not direct so thats why its cheap, its with Norwegian Air, by 'and meal' I mean I had to buy my meals on board on the plane....

 

and I've always gone to Thailand with a one way ticket, never had an issue, just goes to show what you know... 

Without a visa, airline won't let me on without an onward flight, as it's their responsibility if immigration won't grant entry for that.

I think he’d be better finding a country with more bridges; accommodation is important.

Charcoal poisoning; painless, you fall asleep first, no moment of screaming change-of-mind, and easy to clean up afterwards.  Make sure you burn the charcoal in a sturdy and fireproof container; the last thing you want is to be rescued from a burning building.  Not what your neighbours want, either

Thailand wants to learn  English? That's new to me. 

 

Most schools are only looking for unfinished paintings, right?

I watched a YouTube video about it, apparently you get a serve headache so I wouldn't say its painless or a nice way out, I'll feel like crap before I lose Consciousness.

 

I think it goes like this.. feeling fatigue, headache to severe fatigue, severe headache, severe convulsions, loss of consciousness, death.     

Maybe someone has already posted this, I'm just being lazy but my daughter recently obtained an Australian working visa and she needed to show £3k in the bank, so don't get blowing all your lolly just yet.

yes I'm aware of that, I've got around £4k so should be ok if I decide to go to Australia from Thailand
