Not necessarily if it wasn't his fault.

His gas cannister?

Cooking with a portable gas canister, on a balcony, at the age of 72, in Thailand. Living the dream. 😂

And the irony is that there are so many YouTube proselytizers spouting their tirade that Thailand is the place to retire because it is so cheap. Well, if you want to live in a 23 square meter box without a proper kitchen and stove and forced to cook outside on a cheap gas stove, then go for it. So many old geezers live this way just thinking that they are living the dream. So funny.

Faulty? His fault? It's ok though, if you want it to be his fault, so be it.

If the cook stove is his property and if he’s the one that ignited it, then he’s responsible for it functioning properly. Then yes, of course it’s his fault.

It's good he isn't renting as he mightn't get his 2 month deposit back.

If I had to chose between living in Pattaya and cooking with a gas canister on a balcony, but getting laid by attractive women half my age, whenever I wanted, or, living in a western country, with a kitchen and stove, and wining and dining old has beens, just in the hope of getting laid, I'll take the gas canister and balcony. 😂😂

Gas canister isn't allowed so should be prosecuted for damage, not something you want at 72

Maybe he learned his lesson and next time he will use a clay pot and charcoal to cook with not to worry about anything blowing up in his face.

No this is a question for all condo renters/owners.

What if a fire you caused , destroys other condo's ?

"Balcony, gas canister cooking, in Thailand" - sounds like a reality cooking TV show, or someone's new youtube channel. Might start a new trend. 🤣

I'm joking, but seriously, I hope other Americans in the area get together to help get his place cleaned up and painted and refurbished, even if it's with reconditioned furniture etc.

I understand my post might bring out the self-appointed web board work permit and visa police. 😁

Yes, there is, like being humorous. You should try it sometime. 🙂

Interesting, and I guess the reason so many old men live in slums and cook on their balcony on cheap gas stoves. But the question is, why are there not more geezers living in upscale condo's with three bedrooms and three bathrooms that are at least 200 SM? Why live in a dump on on the Dark Side. Is this the way they live in their home country?

So sorry.

Could have been any one of us, of course.

Maybe buy a smoke detector?

There's no need to use a gas stove outside, there's induction hobs and air fryers now

You need a spark or open flame to ignite gas. We were misled as children.

A bright spark or a not so bright one?

I would say the reason is because many of them lost their life savings to a Thai bargirl, and are now living on a meager government aged pension.

Well, perhaps because your comment came immediately after my post referencing certain condos that do allow gas-fueled equipment and you specifically referenced those condos and asked if they mandated insurance cover. Was that such an unreasonable presumption?

How about living in a western country, with all the amenities, including your own house, and wining and dining women under your age who still are attractive because they've been taking care of themselves all along, or staying in that small room and gas canister, with women who are only with you because of your wallet and not because you're attractive?

Remember, if you haven't been really taking care of yourself also, many would consider you a has been, including most Thai women. Of course if you're still in your 40's, that's a different story.Making love with a woman that actually wants you there is a lot different than one who's rolling her eyes and waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up.
