Beats me why anyone would want to do that.

The three imperatives for most people are food, shelter and sex. Thailand has all three in abundance at low cost, I'm staying put.

Well said.

U think 2022 is worse than 1943?

I imagine that 1943 was a year of soaring optimism for our parents and grandparents - maybe not others amongst us...

 

2022 has been a dreadful year, but brought about by harvesting the fruits of our own stupidity as much as the trials and tribulations that fate dealt us in the preceding years.

 

I have no idea if 2022 is worse than 1943, and I am sure it pales into insignificance compared to the horrors of 1916 or 1919, but it is much fresher in the memory.  My memory, at least.

1543 vs 2022

Everyone enjoys a bit of struggle, except those that have to.

I don't remember 1543, but 1453 was a particularly momentous year, with the fall of Constantinople to the army of Mehmet II (not a spelling that I have seen recently - don't get me started on that), and the discovery of the world by the Chinese (strictly speaking, 1421 according to Menzies).

Times change, people move on, things are not the same as they once were, then is not now.  We can whinge if we want to, but that is our choice.

with the state of the world now, wars, economy, disease

Cheer up mate, the world is great place to be, I'm living the dream. 

 

BTW, put those knives away, I don't want to see you hurt yourself. 

 

Get some help if you're struggling.

We actually have a handbuilt wooden shack on a remote island! But it's in Canada & my blood has gotten too thin for that climate. It's an expensive paradise & a bit too close to Big Brother for safety.

 

I'll take my chances here. If Bangkok sinks, we've got a country property, no house, for refuge.

I don't understand why you state that it's cheap to live here and I have no problems with police or immigrantion.

Cheaper than western countries and I always hated going to immigration; so much so that I paid an agent to do it for me.

Never had a problem with the cops but only because I did nothing for them to notice me.

Barter = give everything to a roaming band of teens w/machetes and hope they don't kill you anyway? 

Not the best idea to bring a machete to a gunfight

Would this shack on a desert island have Internet,

and a girl friday, if so no problem.

regards worgeordie

Yep W. I gotta have the www so I can watch the apocalypse unfold ... To our original poster; Nowhere is safe mate, nowhere. Go buy an island thousands of miles away for others, off main shipping routes, no air strip, and build yourself a survivalist fortress  and you'll last a little while longer.
