Thailand as a Future Destination for Relocation
I have been here for 25 years now. Planned to retire and rent out a few properties on the land that I 'bought'.. Came here with my wife (Brummie lass) as she chose Thailand when I asked where we should live next. Retirement never happened. I ended up starting a small business and run that with 14 staff. Now approaching 74. Still work 7 days a week. Take holidays whenever I want as I long as the staff can reach me when they need help and a bit of farang wisdom. No desire whatsoever to go back back 'home'. The place sounds terrible when I talk to my wife's relatives back there. Most of my relatives are dead anyway - just a daughter who can barely wish me Happy Birthday. (We fell out when I refused to change my will when my wife died. Daughter wanted everything.) Back to the plot. Thailand has changed a lot in the 30 years when I have worked and lived here but as others have said - so has everywhere else. To me, the winter (6 weeks?) is cold and the summer (April) is hot. The rest of the time the weather is pretty dam good. I live on Samui - away from the tourist areas. Wife said 'I do not care where in Thailand but I want a swimming pool and sunsets so I have sea breezes for six months of the year. Plan B was going to be Tanzania but I would not go and live in any of the African countries now. Anyway, I cannot leave Thailand, now as the memorials for my wife, son and a good friend are in the local temple. I still have to put the flowers and incense sticks there every week. A bad day here is still better than the a good day in the UK. -

Teeth implants
I see that implants cost about 50,000 Baht to 75,000 Baht on average. I have false teeth for the upper teeth. Dentists usually charge about 1,200 Baht per teeth. Though the dentists in Bangkok that serve expats might charge expats a fortune for false teeth. Are false teeth uncomfortable to wear? Not at all. Do I have any regrets about having them? Not at all. I love having them! Why spend 50,000+ Baht per tooth when you can achieve the same goal for about one-fortieth+ instead. -

Thailand as a Future Destination for Relocation
Stavanger can be rougher than north of polar circle. It is more wet and raw cold weaher year around. Lived on the west coast 15 years all together at 3 different locations. Also lived 4 years north Norway on an island. I prefer North Norway, since more dry weather, and real winters, and not to bad summers. The only plague, is mosquito and flies inside country. Still, it is temporarily while she gain her citizenship. After that she will stay 4 months in Thailand every year. -
