Dear Folks,

 

If you are like me, then you will have probably given this question much thought in recent years.

 

Where do you hope to die?

 

For me, it's a no-brainer....Thailand is where I hope to die.

 

I am not saying that I often think of dying.

I am only saying that I love Thailand so much that I hope to die here.

 

Also, I am not so young that I want to travel around the world, just looking for some other place to die.

 

Thailand, after over a decade of non-stop life here, without leaving, is still the place to die....for me.

 

There are very few better places to die.

And, dying here has the potential to provide reincarnation, as well.

 

Here in Thailand, we can enjoy a much more laid-back dying experience.

Death, here in Thailand, is far less to be feared, unlike some places, where they try to keep you alive....until...

The very bitter end, which is always a bitter experience, or so I have been told.

 

I think that guys like me are lucky to be in Thailand, waiting to die here, when the time is ripe.

 

I will not be sorry to never return to my home country, or to....  The Main Line......

 

Death on the Main Line would be far less cheerful, IMHO.

 

Here in Thailand, I find the prospect of dying far less distasteful.....

 

What about you?

 

Are you, as I, equally hopeful of dying in Thailand?

 

No.

I am not saying that this must happen tomorrow.

And, I expect to die here in Thailand.....maybe.....

In the year 2062....

A year, I predict, will be 1.5 degrees C...hotter than now.

 

Any good thoughts about dying?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

No more reading your 💩 

I noticed a lot of posts about dying ,passing away etc lately .

 

And the adverts are about Wills and funeral services lol 

Back home in the US. And people don't reincarnate, no matter where you die. You get one chance to make things right. Life isn't as precious here as in the west, so fear doesn't come into play as much.

If I just die, I do not care, and hopefully I die with my boots on.

 

I want to die the place where it is less complications, and that will be my orign country, not Thailand.

 

My ashes can be spread in the sea

Thought you disappeared to Japan for a stint? Anyway, one minute you're talking about buying made-in-Japan air-cons, the next dying. Make up your mind, dude!

 

It may sound easier here--certainly not for loved ones where temple affairs can go on for days--but they do also try to keep people alive you know. What is perceived to be easier here is the general Buddhist outlook on life, that there will be others until one gets it right and/or one reaches nirvana. However, is that all based on fact or opinion? Best to do one's best in this one methinks in case this is your only shot.

Here's one for you, Gamma:

 

 

Expect rather than hope.

I moved back this April, now only visiting. I have not cut my ties to my home country, so I can choose, and we will make a new base back home so my wife get her dual citizenship and retirement.

How can you be sure of that?

I certainly don't hope to die. But it will happen one day.

I believe is maybe a better word, you do not know for sure, but still maybe 30 - 40 years away if I reach the family standard. 

That's a given, as I have no intention of leaving, or sitting on a plane internationally.   Unless I take the Orient Express to somewhere, I'm crappin' out here.

 

Actually saw it buzz by the park one day.  Since running late, as scheduled to pass by at night time.

You ask a lot of stupid questions Kannika,not the brightest son.

 

Yesterday you asked me why the doctor would be hesitant to treat a 80yo with terminal Cancer

I didn't answer you because it's self explanatory 

You then ask a guy living in his home country how he knows he will die  there 

Unfortunately  people with your intelligence are picked for COURT JURIES to make decisions on people lives🙄

And YOU start some of the most stupid posts on AN, together with the other GG.

Did Hummin say that he was living in his home country?

And I have NEVER served on Jury service.

 

 

I was hoping not to die.....you've pricked that little bubble.

I hope to live forever, I expect to die in my chosen country of Thailand.

I don't hope, I know I will.

You might be lucky and the wife dies first.

Where I am when I die is of little consequence to me.

Where I'm buried is however.

I don't much like the idea of burial in a foreign land.

I plan on being cremated, and if possible having my ashes returned to my homeland for burial.

Not a chance I want to die here. I will go back to the UK and enjoy my final days there. I like the cold and walking in the autumn leaves to me is a far better way to go than sweating like a pig. Full time here to 67, then part time for a while and then full time UK in a nice conservatory watching the snow.

 

I am far too worried about the cost of end of life here too. 

 

As a matter of interest anyone know if a pensioner on UK state pension would be able to pay for stage 4 cancer pain relief ? I have a friend here nearing this situation

This Topic is not about dying.

 

This Topic is about living the remaining years of one's life in Thailand.

There is a difference.

Why? It's isn't as if you'll be aware of where your ashes are.

What about the perfect life in Japan with your educated schoolgirls????

I have reconsidered, and also I have realized that trying to live the rest of my life with Japanese schoolgirls would be too lonely for me.

Also, they might invite their boyfriends over for parties, which definitely would be far too stressful.

 

Now, I recently come to my senses.

 

And now, I know where it is that I want to live until my last gasp.

 

 

 Japan, for me, is now viable only as a PLAN B.

Agreed. I always wanted to live out the rest of my in LOS, and die there. It was the biggest blow of my life when I couldn't. I only go on this forum to keep a connection with LOS alive.

While I love LOS, if I had the money it'd be Japan every time.

It's the world capital of Anime, which I love.

It's still traditional in part.

It's still civilised as it hasn't invited the alien hordes in.

 

I'd like to live in a rural community where they are polite to one another, and have consideration for others, unlike the undisciplined thugs that blight western countries.

Schoolgirls are the wrong path to travel, because they are girls and as such change their minds every five minutes. Commitment is an unknown quality. A more mature Japanese lady is superior, even if only as a friend with benefits; perhaps a career woman looking for a spot of fun on the side.

Unlike in western countries, they apparently don't turn into land whales soon as they turn 18, and continue to be feminine. Win win.
