Move to Cambodia and lease a Mercedes and put the top down. Get a gold chain and wear your hat backwards. But seriously you sound (and i mean this is a nice way, not as a attack) a little bit "overly concerned" about your life. I see this sometimes in people as they age. Simple things become very difficult to manage. I saw it in my parents. And any sort of change made them very grumpy. If you feel harassed or paranoid about Thai immigration, maybe getting out is best. But remember, no matter where you go, there you are. 4 1

Don't understand people living here sometimes and how they get to sound so desperate and post help me I can't help myself. Here one :- https://www.viriyah.co.th/en/longstay-form.php#.XISOxCIzaDK I'm not with this one but got insured at 68 and my premium 32,000 per year. Ok, Look, you are trying to help, but you ruin your goodwill by taking a jab at people. How about just helping and not judging? Is that too much to ask? I looked at the information. I'm done with Thailand, but I'm interested in helping others. This policy states it is for the 5 year visa. Is this the Elite Visa Program insurance? If so, that only helps those with the Elite Visa. Why not disclose who you use? Edited March 10, 2019 by CaptainJack

CaptainJack Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 I feel like this has become a topic about me having to defend myself. I'm done. My intention was honest and sincere. Y'all figure it out. I'll either be in Latin America, Cambodia or the United States. Good luck. Your own your own. Bye. 1

Bye. sorry you feel this way. it just seems you are totally OK with $5k a month anywhere you go. and saving money and self insuring medical in SEA and Medicare in the USA. I lived like a king for four years on $1500 a month in Thailand. that included platinum health insurance, a new motorcycle, and about $300 a month party money. when my SS kicked in at 62 I had a additional 62,000 baht a month to spend. I never touch my savings now. Perhaps time sharing between the USA and some place like Panama and SEA would be nice while you can still travel. At some point we all have to decide where we are going to die. I am dying in Thailand in bed with two Thai girls and a bottle of Viagra. 4

No I help myself in this situation no need for company of others, that's done at my choosing. I'm not judging I said I don't understand them. I'm health insured with a Thai insurance company named in posts on the health forum this is in pub.????

Popular Post The Cobra Posted March 10, 2019 Popular Post Posted March 10, 2019 Sad he felt he needed to leave for being "attacked", when someone doesnt agree its not neccesarily an attack, its words on page and maybe that was just your perception Capt.Jack, I believe generally people just try to help in their own way. Whilst it is wise to consider what "may" happen down the road, sometimes people tend to look too far down that road, worry too far ahead and mess up whats happening this week/month etc. You seem fixated on some aspects and maybe should just take a step back a little, enjoy now and as the saying goes " tomorrow belongs to no one", you could make all these precautionary plans and get hit by a truck tomorrow, no good having the smartest plans in the cemetery is it. Take care, good luck, but please try to relax a bit and stop fixating too far ahead. 3 1
seasia Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Captain Jack. Firstly I like your posts. Some hopefully constructive comments : I think Cambodia could be a non starter for you as insurance including medivac is going to be costly. I think perhaps a fresh topic in the health insurance section here might give you some ballpark figures. Sheryl is very knowledgable and helpful as well as Cambodia experienced. The sharing life idea sounds OK, might work. Another matter and I am only half guessing here but you seem to lack a network of friends that could act as support when you are feeling down or just need/want some company. You have already had Britman make the kind offer of meeting up with him and his expat friends in Cambodia, yes I noticed you have acknowledged that. It is a shame you have ruled out Thailand but understand you. I have lived in naklua about 10 years now. Got to know a lot of people, some have become good friends. If at some stage you change your mind, I could meet up with you and could also introduce you to expat/long stayers. As per my topic European alternatives to Thailand, I will be out of Thailand during the summer months. So, somewhat similar to yourself I am considering my options for the future. I am actually impressed by the quality of replies I have received. Many people do try to help. As to you feeling you need to defend yourself, I only noticed 1 post I would consider harsh.A moderator posted others had been removed.I did not read those. There really are some people on your various threads that I feel have tried to help and also understand you a bit better. Different posters have different posting styles, that is only natural. To finish I wish you Good Luck and a happy life wherever you choose. Edited March 10, 2019 by seasia 1
