pinkpanther99 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty sure Andy McNab lives in Thailand For sure he does, and he still has the amazing ability to change his appearance (it seems at will). For I have met/seen/heard him talking in many many Pattaya bars. Thought he would have been a little more low profile though. I disagree, he is pretty low profile, blending into his surroundings by wearing a Chang Beer vest and poorly fitting shorts hanging off his beer belly - camouflage Pattaya style.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 I do not want to be disparaging, but if you had fame, and wealth what would be the compelling reason to live here? Many of us live here for a variety of reasons. In my case there is a financial element. I can have a better life here on my limited budget, than I can elsewhere. If I did not have those limitations things might be different. I might live somewhere else. More than likely I would at least spend a sizable portion of each year in other countries, enjoying my homes around the world. Also, the fame factor gets them the kind of treatment we cannot avail ourselves of, typically. So, again I ask, why would they live here? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
