Popular Post bkk6060 Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I sold or gave away every last thing in my home country. House, car, furniture, everything. I came here with absolutely one suitcase. It contained some clothes and important papers. The last thing I want to do in my older years is accumulate things. I had ¨stuff¨ all my life and wanted no more burden of any of it. So glad I did. The only thing of significance I have purchased here is a motorbike and 7 golf clubs. Even then, it took me a few years to commit. I guess I am a minimalist. The less things the better for me less stress and makes life so much happier.

The winters in Isan are cold enough for me, just short and unpredictable, houses here not built with cold in mind. Apart from the decent quality garden tools, near everything else on the OP list is available here, just a pain locating and much more expensive, not so sure about the "kids"! ???? Be nice if we could buy a tax free car here every ten years like you can in Malaysia on a retirement visa! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyFingers Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Most of the things you mention I have bought here, Chinese of course, but all work and at the price they can easily be replaced. Bought a new computer here with English and Thai keyboard that is great when the family want to tell me something that they/I do not understand.But: I would love to have a gas BBQ with a solid metal plate and not pay $800-$1000 for one with only a grill. I think the last one I bought back home was $200. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Cigars are even more valuable than wine, here. My last washing machine in the US was a Maytag, high rpm...cost me 380 us after electric company 50 dollar rebate. Would cost 40k+ here. I do use Tide detergent, but the washers mostly suck, including the Sgerman front loaders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Damrongsak Posted July 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Pilotman, I'm in the USA and don't think I'll ever get back on a semi-permanent basis. I can sympathize: For me its: All my garden tools. I can only replace them here with very inferior products. I've bought/collected/inherited some marvelous garden tools over the years. One in particular is a heavy-duty professional nursery spade for transplanting trees and shrubs. Steel-strapped tropical hardwood D-handle. Somewhat lesser models are still available but they are over 4,000 baht. And I have some top-notch pruners/loppers/saws. All of our kitchen pots and pans. My wife shipped back a bunch of decent pots and pans a few years ago when she went to visit for an extended period. Tools of all kinds I have a two car garage full of tools collected over about 50 years. 1/2 dozen welders, table/radial arm/band saws, a couple drill presses, two metal lathes and a 2,400 Lb vertical mill. Wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, air tools, sanders, drills, wood planes and a jointer. Two air compressors, etc. Heck, I have about 65 different hammers that I am fond of. ...Knives, the ones here are rubbish Modern kitchen knives there seem to be junky, and imports expensive. I like the old Thai knives, especially the big choppers, but they do rust. I have a 40+ year collection of hand-forged Thai and Hmong knives that I wouldn't want to part with. I worked with some of the folks who made them. The washing machine I knew a guy who moved to Thailand many years back and brought in a container of household stuff that included a washing machine. He hid the pieces of a 1911A1 .45 ACP handgun in the washer. ???? Edited July 11, 2020 by Damrongsak 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
