As an Expat: How do you feel about dying in Thailand? Will you be happy about it?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

Most people, try as they might, find it difficult to feel especially happy about dying.

 

However, in this LOS, might it be possible to just....

 

Go out with a smile?

 

I would say, as an expat myself, that if I were to die in Thailand, then I would be smiling.

 

Some expats say that living in Thailand is better than anywhere else.

 

And I say, too, that dying in Thailand is better than dying in most other places.

 

I feel at peace to know that I will expire here...that is....unless, for some reason...

My visas do not expire before me.

 

I still have many years to go, .....

 

And miles to go before I sleep,

And even more kilometers to go before I sleep.

 

Is Thailand pretty much the best place in the world...to...

DIE!

 

Yes, it is, but just IMHO.

 

Thailand is a place of peace for the living.

And, it is an even greater place of peace for those who are bout to die.

 

I SALUTE you....those of you who are about to die...and....I will...

Soon follow you, yet not so soon....

I hope.

 

Any thoughts about any better place to die, compared to Thailand?

 

Best regards,

 

Gamma

I've had enough poon tang, no regrets

[Packer]

Absolutely. Hopefully the doctors are a lot more open to sending me home to my bed with lots of really good painkilling drugs in my family's pockets should it come to that. Or the number of a broker that can sell them, at least.

One of the reasons I left Thailand is that I really didn't like the idea of getting seriously sick there and dying there. I can't put my finger on why I feel this way, but I'd rather my life end in the country where it began.

I'm already dead inside.

Then, in this case, you are lucky you are not a sailor, one who might be buried at sea, as so many sailors have been, throughout the ages.

Surely, you meant Daily Delusions.

 

Never underestimate the power of alliteration.

Ok with dying here.

But hope it's from old age.

Not from an RTA

Have to expire somewhere, why not Thailand?

[mfd101]

At '76 this year' (as the Thais would put it) I'm looking forward to another 20 years of healthy living.

 

But when the time comes, whenever that might be, I hope to be lying in our bed here at home in Prasat, my b/f holding my hand as I set out to cross the river, our family all round and all attached to me with strings, people coming & going with food, the monks (maybe) outside the room chanting and also attached by strings.

 

And I will have to make a decision (if I have time) whether to summon a Catholic priest for the last rites. Not sure whether one will be available here at the edge of the jungle at the end of the world ...

Honestly do not give a flying <deleted> were I die... I'll be dead !

[riclag]

My grandmother told me her first husband literally died on top of her!

It Must be the best way,orgasmic death.

What a fantastic way to die!

 

 

Leave the World news sarcasm out

of the conversation ,ok ladies!

I have no intentions of going anywhere so Thailand it is, the doctor has given me one or two years to live,

Agree and I've heard that death can be fatal!!!!!!

[jas007]

I managed to escape the USA before they could murder me with their COVID jabs, and I didn't feel like having a digital "passport" of any kind.  So I got on a plane and the rest is history.  I'm 73 and I could die today, or, I could have another 20 or 30 or 40 years.  If family history is any guide, I'll probably be around for a long time. But if not, it won't be because I didn't try.  

 

In any event, I'm sure being dead isn't anything to worry about.  From what I've read, something like 125 billion human beings have lived so far, but the gene pool survives.

Not too good for her though. You know what the first thing is that happens when you die ...
