The eternal battle: how much does it cost to live in Thailand.
Example 1: A friend of mine, 75+ years and living in Korat, is posting every day pictures about how cheap it is to live in Thailand. He lives on a NON-O visa, Thai wife. He purchased a house (on name of his Thai wife) and feeds the Thai family. Yet, about 7 years ago, he start having a head ache. He went to several hospitals, but everywhere they told him that it was nothing serious and send him off with a bunch of Anit-Biotics. After 2 months of ordeal, he went to Belgium and was diagnosed with brain Cancer. He got help from the FREE BELGIAN HEALTH CARE, and is now still alive thanks to the FREE BELGIAN HEALTHCARE. He lives now 9 months in Belgium (medical care) and 3 months in Thailand. Nevertheless, the 3 months that he is in Thailand, he keeps postiong pictures and claiming how cheap life in Thailand is. Example 2: A friend of mine, an 80+ old german guy, was diagnosed with AAA at the same time as me (2018). He had no health insurance. When asking for the cost of that surgery, he got an estimate around the 1 million baht. He chosed to take the risk and skip the surgery. I went to Belgium and had the surgery done in Belgium. He died about 1 year later from a rupture of his aorta. I am still alive and kicking. Example 3: A friend of mine, 75+ years and living in Korat, was posting every day pictures of the house he purchased for his Thai wife and the good life he was living in Issaan. One day in 2023, he started to feel a bump in his neck. He went to the local hospital (where his wife was working) and they said that it was nothing serious. Gave him a bunch of Anti-Biotics and if he symptoms did not improve with 3 months, he would come back. But 2 months later, the bump on his neck start to have the size of a golfball and was hurting badly (see picture). Back to the hospital, the hospital took a sample of the bump to anaylize. When he went 1 month later to the hospital to ask for the results, the sample was lost and never send for analysation. By that time the bump was already very big and the only option was to remove it. I spare the readers from the picture after the operation which costed him 400K baht. He send me a message asking how I did it to have a big surgery in Belgium while I was living in Thailand and I answerred him that as long anyone is living on a Belgian pension that person is also registrered for the Belgian healthcare. His answer was: "I did'nt know that. I was told that when I chose to leave Belgium I was not anymore registred in the health care". Anyway, his Cancer was too much advanced to return to Belgium and he dies short after that. I have a lot of examples after living 25 years in Thailand, but I will leave it here. The cost of living in Thailand is not only the price of food and dring (and bar hopping) but also the health care and other costs which doesn't occur on a weekly or monthly base. -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
Which is a cogent argument for less nukes which isn't the point you made earlier. -

Note the de-militarization. Do you think the world is currently safer with those nukes in the hands of a lunatic who wants to own Greenland and Gaza? -

We agree totally on this. But Hitler (Godwin's law sorry) over eggs the pudding somewhat. -
