AnotherOneAmerican Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) So I came over to Thailand after a messy divorce in the US. Met this amazing girl in a coffee shop in Bangkok, then spent a marvelous two weeks with her. Never experienced anything like this before, am planning to sell my house in Maine, and come back to be with her. I thought I was well past the 'falling in love' part of my life at 63, but this beautiful 24 year old woman loves me and I love her. What I was wondering is, should I move to Bangkok, or is there somewhere else better for me to live. Never really been outside of the US before. (Going back to the US next week) Edited March 6, 2012 by AnotherOneAmerican 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: This is an auto-reply to the same question being asked of well-intentioned TV members, over and over again. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post theblether Posted March 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2012 Be careful.......she may find someone else while you are back in the US. I suggest you leave her a $100,000 cash deposit so that you can reserve her. You can't be too careful. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 In another 6 years she will be over the hill already, so I would suggest renting until some new models come on the market. Just because you are getting older doesn’t mean your girlfriends need to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryq Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 DON'T marry her, 24 is a bit old for a 63 yr old who says "Never really been outside of the US before.". Visit some more coffee shops, plenty of young Thai girls dreaming of meeting over 60 year old foreigners. OR.. Is it a TROLL post ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the posters on this forum really so unhelpful? Quite disgraceful! I would have thought some people here would have some idea of a nice place to live. Was it my fault, let me be more specific. Looking to live somewhere with good Internet access, coffee bars, restaurants American and Thai. Not too rural, where I could buy or build a house for 4-10Mbht on a few rai of land, money is not really a problem. Could I have some serious suggestions from people who live in places like this Edited March 6, 2012 by AnotherOneAmerican 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bangkok is overrated, good for falling in love and enjoying a coffee. Why not try somewhere else to while away the years with your new found teerak? From your post, you might be suited to Southern Thailand. Hat Yai is a big city and plenty of action in surrounding provinces to keep you on your toes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean999 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) I'm a bit upset. I told you a good place to live. Being serious, i always thought the advice about have a place back in your homeland, a very good idea. Having that bit of a safety net. Then if the worst happens and you get cleaned out, you have at least that left. Do you realise that you do not own the house in Thailand, your Thai girlfriend / wife does. If anything happens, it's gone. You can own a condo. Edited March 6, 2012 by dean999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all seen too many guys just like you crash and burn in Thailand. You are going to get eaten alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceed with caution. Sorry Dean, went out shopping, leaving my PC on this page. Bookman, Hat Yai sounds interesting. Smokie, thanks for your suggestion but currently my US taxes (state and property) are approx $300,000 a year. Just leaving the house would cost me a large amount, as I would still have to pay those taxes. I think it would be better to buy a house outright over here.
