I am now aged 78. In 2017 I became worried about my health and insurance was out of the question. I had lived in Thailand, mainly Udon Thani for 20 odd years and returning to Australia maybe twice a year for a few months at a time. I did not burn my bridges as I never intended to live in Thailand forever. The nanny state looked after me as I am a veteran with a few problems. My pensions paid by the Aus Govt. were about Baht 100K a month. I always had credit cards with large limits so I was sure I could cover medical expenses. I returned to Aus full time in 2018 and started to have medical problems. Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (Prostate Gland removed) and lung cancer right lung. The operations were carried out by top surgeons in a top hospital. As a veteran all my medical expenses are free, discounts on government charges, free travel on trains etc. While I enjoyed most of my time in Thailand and made good friends there I am more than happy to live in the nanny state. I am 99% sure that I will not be cleaned up on a roundabout (Noosa is the roundabout capital of the world) whereas I took my life into my hands every time in Udon Thani.
