  1. Before retiring to Thailand I planned for old age as I 

    did for retirement.  I have a nice income, guaranteed

    for life and enough money not to worry.  I have some

    close Thai friends, who I hope will visit when I am alone

    or hire a care giver.  Hope to be dead before needing a

    caregiver!!  I also have a back up plan to assist some 

    Thai friends, make their life better financially , and they

    will make sureI have good care until I die.  Time will

    tell, as for now I don't dwell on what might happen, I

    enjoy every day.   No living realatives in my Home

    Country, some friends, but I feel more at home in Thailand.

  2. 1 hour ago, chiang mai said:

     

    Easy peasy. You can move to Bridlington, North Yorkshire, the cost of living would be cheaper plus the ocean waters are much much cleaner. Would sur like me to book his ticket?

     

    I believe you missed the warm weather aspect...I,wouldn't live

    in Birdington or North Yorkshire for FREE

  3. White vinegar...buy the cheapest at Makro, pour all around

    where ants are.  Will not effect pets or people.  Ants will be gone.

    I keep a spray bottle full of vinegar, a spray around patio and dog

    dish area.  No more ants.  I spray on door sills too.  If you hate the

    smell add a few drops of mint oil

     

     

     

     

  4. If you are able to pay 1000baht for two hours of 

    domestic help, she probably thought 170 or 400

    baht means nothing to you, yet it is a significant 

    amount to her.   Stealing is stealing, and I too

    would have discharged her on the spot; however,

     a long time ago I learned never to put  that much

     

     

    temptation in front of people, human nature being

    what it is.

     

  5. I love this.....I walk every morning.  I always say hello as  I pass other walkers;

    especially if thre is eye contact.  A couple of the grumpy old farts never

    acknowledge, after I have said hello. No acknowledgement I never speak

    to them again....plenty of nice people that acknowledge you!

  6. If you can't afford to live in Thailand after

    working for 35-40 years, there is something

    wrong with your financial planning; "or"1. You

    are one to the drunks that drank up everything

    and really didn't work that much. "or"2. One of the

    lazy, who wanted to retire at 45-49 y/o and now

    because th pound is declining (and is expected

    to lose another 16-20%)  have to pinch every Baht,

    (go home a and work another 15-20 years); and

    retire with 95-125K Baht/month.  Life is Great,

    Here in The Land Of Smiles!!

  7. I have a "sort of adopted Thai Family" I help to

    Make their life more pleasant. I plan to help

    Them build a nice new home, and a small

    Separate house for me. I will pay for a medical

    Assistant if necessary and I know they will look

    After me....I am financially secure but would

    Never want to be in a nursing home in The

    States.....Second option. Couple of tabs of

    Sodium morphine if in a lot of pain and out of

    Here.
