Popular Post Ulysses G. Posted October 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2014 59 years old in a foreign country with no job, probably no money and no prospects of getting either one. It might seem like the most sensible thing to do. RIP 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOLEEBER Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 So sad. Reminds me of the one the other year. He was a retired army guy who moved here and was swindled out of his life savings by one of those fake call centers. Ended up taking his life when he should have been taking a different bar girl every night and enjoying his retirement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight8 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Seriously someone would hang themselves over loosing a job?? Another sad Thai ending. Got to be more to it than just losing a job. My money is on his lovely teeruk left him also in the process. No money, no honey, however regardless, neither losing a job or/and a GF is worth losing your life over, not even close.

Popular Post lahgon29 Posted October 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think 59 years in this world is long enough. I'll be there in a couple years....why go through all the BS..... Pretty negative thinking, don't you think? I'm 59, retired in Udon, got a wonderful [pregnant] missus. I'm fit, healthy, eat great, no illnesses, Not overweight, and have enough money in Super to live a very comfortable life. I'm looking forward to 69 and then 79. Maybe you should end It all now, thus taking some of the negative vibes out of the atmosphere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP At age 60 in Thailand, you are finished as a teacher. What was he gonna do? Maybe trying something new? i know how difficult it would have been to go back. Pretty much difficult to start over again, when 60 and living here for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
