Should I return to the UK - difficult decision!
^^^ Thanks for your thoughtful comments! Right now, I live at Khaom Beach in south Thailand, and the healthy salty air is excellent for my lungs. So my present location is good, the house rent is cheap and so on. But as a single person, I have no support net, and so I am considering the worst case 'what if?" scenario, if my physical or mental health gets worst, or if the means to legally stay in Thailand (long term visa etc), becomes more difficult. Of course, such a scenario might never happen, and I'm worrying about nothing. As far as moving back to the UK is concerned, there are good points in respect of costs and discounts for retirees. But one factor which might hinder my return is rented accommodation. No, not the rental price, but the availability of accommodation. My investigations over the past few weeks indicates a great shortage of suitable accommodation, with 'basic' properties being rented at crazy rental rates. I can afford this, but I know that I would not be getting value for money. I had forgotten how 'boring' most UK properties actually are in their design, with bland exteriors and no individuality. It seems that for every property that is advertised for rent, there are literally dozens of people queuing to rent it! no wonder landlords are converting garden sheds into rented accommodation... I'm at the end of the queue for renting these properties because I have no credit score. This is because the credit agencies only keep records for 6 years.... I would have to return to the UK, rent an Airbnb, rent a car to visit properties, and then try to persuade the landlord to rent to me. Difficult but not impossible of course. -

Another big scam
Not much less than Thai Airways depending on dates. And there you see the final price when browsing. -

No, I'm just a lot more aware of what's real than you are. I see things exactly how they are, as prejudice isn't a part of my makeup. -

Tourism James Bond Museum Fiasco: A Costly 40 Million Baht Blunder
Surprizing ! 😉 Now (who's) what's next ? Land bridge ? But too bad for that museum as the idea is good. Get original collectibles from the movie, some original footage (raw images of Thailand taken at the time), ask Tussaud museum for Sean Connery replica, etc. But for that you cannot have money falling off the table -

Actually it is very easy to see right thru people on this site. I can tell a person in 5 posts. I can tell Khunla has had an interesting life. I can tell Short Timer is a loser. It's not difficult at all.
