Economy Thailand’s Wealth Gap Widens: Most Bank Accounts Below 50,000 Baht
It has always been my ambition to die with my cards maxxed out, my overdrafts at their limits, and all other debts unpaid. The problem is predicting the exact moment of death. A few days late, and everything caves in. I know an American guy who planned his future on this basis, that he would die at 70. He is now 80+, senile with dementia, and living by grace of his Thai wifes' family in some s...hole in deepest Isaan with zero cash or assets, and completely cut off from his ex-friends. Worst, no intellect left to work out a means of ending it all.............., or even the concept to do so. -

dying from cancer at home in Thailand
The number one need is pain management / my Thai wife is well educated (63 yrs old) and doing now a wonderful jog in renewing every few days the stoma bag I have now / however she has no access to powerful pain killers although she could learn to inject them / I am reluctant about a private hospital because in Thailand you are a customer more than a patient / my father died here in my home country of prostate cancer and they gradually increased the morphine and I doubt I this will be done in Thailand -

Economy Thailand Plans 10-Year Tourist Visa and 99-Year Land Lease to Boost Economy
There is one thing that is holding back investment, foriegn businesses and people visiting Thailand in the medium to long term - unecessary bureacracy. Starting with the need to fill out my name, address, passport and phone number multiple times on many types of visa / permit applications and culminating in inch-thich piles of pointless paperwork for anything more substantial. Discovering that single items of documentation require another ten pages of other documents from other government agencies feels like a normal part of many processes. Every application I have to make fills me with dread. In my 17 years in Thailand I have wasted so much of my given time on Earth producing needless paperwork. I mean, where do they keep it all? I am entertaining the theory that Thailand actually has power stations entirely powered by burning the tonnes and tonnes of pointless paperwork they force visitors to produce - it's the only possible good reason I can think of for making us do this stuff! Really though, the bureacratic hurdles presented at every step of any 'official' process in Thailand are, for me, by far and away the worst thing about living in Thailand. Time is the most precious thing any of us possess. To have it wasted on pointless bureacracy should be a crime, regardless of the country. -

Report South Korean Man Injured by Hazardous Footpath Obstruction in Pattaya
Now that's the family friendly place I remember. No it doesn't. It shows the neglect and corruption that encompasses many aspects of thai life.
