taipan1949 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Costa Rica was great 23 years ago. Lived 6 months in 6 months out for 30+ years in Thailand and now 3 years straight in the Philippines. The only thing that beats Thailand is the easy Visa system.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bottle of San Miguel Gin from 7-11/BizMart was 60 Pesos and it was pretty good too, the tonic cost more than the gin. (Barretto Beach in the background) My Grandpa came back from the Great War via Manchester and developed a taste for Gordons whilst in Blighty. From the moment I was old enough to remember, there was that Wild Boar at Granpas. Silver Martini shakers and all that.. I guess it got to the states in the 30s. Gordons Gin was the first booze I ever drank. I reckon its cheap gin, but if Im having a gin drink, its still Gordons, 100 years as my family booze.

And the one tooth snaglepuss asked if you were still around Boulder Station, she wants her $5 Bringing someones family into an internet p***taking session is so declasse, espeically when you have no brolationship with the poster you are responding to. Clearly, you wouldnt have the cojones to say something like that in person due to the consequences, and its telling that you would drag yourself into the real gutter under the cowardice of anonymity.

mrwebb8825 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 @OP- when you are quoting prices using the $ sign are you saying that's the cost in USD? If that's the case then 14,000-20,000 baht for an apartment is crazy high. I rent a condo in BKK and only pay 6,500 baht (around $215 USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olfu Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 for US citizens consideration: as I mentioned before cheapest place to retire is in Florida where my house cost me 300$ a month. Second strange choice is China where I bought 10 year visa for 250$ and the only trouble is I have to leave country every 2 month for 1 day and I used it multiple times from Hong Kong where you use subway to go to China. Yes, its not for everybody but nobody ever bothered me in China or Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
