Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
I think a question a foreign man should ask a Thai woman that he meets in LOS is this: Have you ever been or lived in another country? If she says yes then it there is a chance the two will be compatible. In my first few years in CNX all the women I met had never been out of the country. This was understandable because many can't afford it. I met one lady who had lived in Singapore for a few years and one who had been to San Franscisco. These were the only two that I felt compatible with. For me if I am not compatible with a woman then there is no hope for a relationship. -

Plan B Countries - Any Advice or Ideas ?
You are not going to find it. 1. Philippines- very expensive for poorer quality accommodation in comparison to Thailand. Food lousy, electricity intermittent and typhoons etc depending on where you are. Crime rate can be very bad depending on location, abject poverty, very poor infrastructure, and Tagalog gets on my nerves. 2. Cambodia. Food is not as good as Thailand but good restaurant options. Power cuts and outages regularly. Vegetables and fruit, they don't have the variety that Thailand has. Medical care, especially requiring hospitalisation is way below the standard of care in Thailand, hence a lot of Cambodians come here for medical care, those that can afford to. Petty crime frequent, including house break-ins. 3. Vietnam. Many difficulties or, at least, jumping through hoops every couple of months to extend stay, they don't have Thailand's visa options, or long term strategies for expats. Healthcare far better than Cambodia but not as good as Thailand, and language barrier can be a constant problem, especially if not in major tourist areas. Cheating with prices on the street and petty crime is commonplace in Vietnam. I find Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh bad for taxi cheats and the language barrier, can be a drag. I am often in Cambodia and Vietnam, and the above reasons are why I don't stay for longer periods there. Likewise, I like both Cambodians and the Vietnamese very much, although in very different ways. Apart from that, I have a long term relationship with a Thai. Even in Isaarn, we have good quality medical care at government hospitals and private hospitals. An abundance of Thai fruits and vegetables, fairly stable electricity supplies, good Wi-Fi and internet as a rule. I have a good private dentist. Eating out in local establishments is good food at cheap prices. I have a large house and family has two smaller ones, that's paid for. -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
YES. And immediately, not at the end of the year. But only if you tell them you have returned to Thailand. If you fail to advise them, (or suggest the advice letter got lost in the post if the truth should later come out) (-DWP never acknowledge), you will receive the unfrozen pension +annual increases indefinitely. For the record my pension is frozen. In the past (until 2016) when falsely claiming the full unfrozen pension, by stating you lived in the UK or perhaps Philippines, upon death, if there was a Thai wife and/or young children who would receive benefits (now ceased) their payment was compromised due to the false claim. Had that happen to 2 Thai widows who I assisted -
