13,798 billion years,give or take 37 million,or the time since the big bang,since we all are made from material from then,mind you i don't write that on my visa application!

same age as my tongue, a little older than my teeth

What does this have to do with Thailand?

Because I suspect that Thailand has three categories of farangs:

1. Rich old white guys who live here, probably with a local wife.

2. Young adults in their 20s who live here short time teaching English while gaining "third World experience".

3. Tourists.

If you belong to neither of the three, I am really interested in hearing your reason for living in Thailand.

I'm none of the above. I live here because I like it here.

1st time I went to Thailand was in 1971. I was 19 years old.Now it's 2015 do the math.i'll help you out I'm 63.

OP...come up with some more categories, three is insufficient

Ok. Round your age up to the nearest number:

20

30

40

50

60

70

80+

20.

12.

In mixed breed - Giant dog years Iam about to have my 5th birthday.

I'm 96 and still get out and about ... it's the banging that keeps me going

I don't fall into any of the three categories you mention...

Me neither - how about you Chickenlegs?

Is the clue in numbers that often appear on the end of a username?

Just celebrated my 20th anniversary of my 39th birthday. Stopped having birthdays 20 years ago.

Not in my case.

27, live 3 months here 3 months in France, and don't belong to any of your 3 categories.

young enough to be off to New guinea,for work this week,see you all in 6 months or so,no wifi where i am,going.

I'm 46. I was told I was about 34 and also 54 in the same week (last week when it was my birthday), both by male farangs with no agenda. I think I just look my chronological age.

I'm young enough to have a 25 year old girlfriend and a 2.5 month old son.

I am just an Italian/American that moves here 5 years ago because I was broke and Thailand is the cheapest country in the world, but also because I like beautiful women, and Thailand is the home of the most beautiful women I ever met..and I can have without spending any money.

Sounds unreal?

Well..... I was not sure about any of that when I moved to Chiang Mai, but happens exactly in the way I planed.

In almost 3 years I met and had relationships with many Thai women, so many, that I had to be careful and not to exagerate, for my health at my age, and my budget of 15000 thb/month for total living expenses. Finally, more than 2 years ago, I met a very beautiful, smart, and interesting 45 years old Thai woman, an English speaker independent professional, living alone in Phayao. We are married since, and having a very happy life, and now...also a small business together. Many plans for the future.

I still a young 70 years old.

3. Tourists.

If you belong to neither of the three, I am really interested in hearing your reason for living in Thailand.

I suspect you have a limited range of acquaintances and a very narrow view of life.

As a student in my early 20s I started off as a tourist. At 23 I became a teacher and that led to several other jobs over the next 20 years. I was having so much fun I didn’t slowdown and get married until my mid-forties. Now I am a rich old white guy with a younger local wife but we have been together for 18 years already, if that says anything about the quality of our relationship and the irrelevance of our age difference.

The point being people change and don’t necessarily remain in one category forever. Trying to put people in boxes doesn’t make much sense to me.

my age is on my profile,

but to save you looking ill be 55 on the 25th this month,

so make a note of that and say happy birthday jake on the 25th

Sorry but didn't you say a little

while ago that you had so much

money, you'd never need to work

again? Yes, I think you did.

You're as young as you feel, thus i'm approaching 27 this year.

Next question please.

My apologies. I didn't think things through. I just wanted to know how old the average TVF member is. Just out of pure curiosity.

Too damn old to be working still, but too young bank account to allow stoppage. 50

Sounds like you're the one

with the froth laden response.

I'm not calling you names,

am I? Insult me all you like

but the fact remains that no

one on this forum talks up

their life in Thailand as

much as you do. You've been

exposed as a fantasist on too

many occasions to have any

credibility left.
