You make a good point, maybe many BMs here are living in that care home now ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP24 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 When my time comes I would far rather be in a facility like this in Thailand instead of one in my home country of the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Coming from a hospital appt, I struck up a conversation with a foreigner in the MRT. He's 87 & navigating his way back home to Sukhumvit. He has a full-time paid caregiver for 20 years. He plans to leave her everything. When we moved here, we didn't expect to get trapped by Covid, old age & insurance. Most days, I'm resigned that i shall probably never see my loved ones in person again. Fact is, there's no room for me there anyway. The love doesn't go away if you make the effort to stay in contact. i visited every summer for more than 30 years. They could visit me! Learning Thai is great for dementia... The visas are a problem. Is assisted living not the same as medical tourism? How about making it easy on oldsters.

bangkokstick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It is just sad that those people were too stupid to move to Thailand before it was too late... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caldera Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I have little use for this "Would you send" premise. I expect from my parents that they take care of making their own arrangements - based on their own preferences, not mine - while they're still in a position to do so. And they did. Same with me, I wouldn't want anyone to send me - anywhere! I've made arrangements and I'll keep updating them as needed.
