  • Bridges well and truly burnt � How about You

    I have come to realize that I have gone and burnt my bridges and realistically I could never afford to ever return home to my land of birth because I had sold every thing over there I ever owned to allow me to move permanently to the LOS . That realization has plagued me over many years now add to that situation the ever falling currency exchange rate that affects my UK Government pension and the rising cost of paying for private health insurance and the increasing costs here in Thailand its no wonder that I now some times feel I made a big mistake. Any one else gone and burnt their bridges and are now like me doomed to end their days in the land of smiles

    Fantastic investment.

    Sold in Bournemouth and transferred over here at 60thb to the pound.

    Sell the properties you bought here and transfer back at 38thb to the pound.


    Quids in bud.

            In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive extraneous or off topic messages in an online community such as a forum, with the intent of provoking forum members into displaying emotional responses. One notorious troll seems to have invaded a well known and much loved Thailand expats community forum where they continually spew out content that seems void of any grammatical punctuation .

              Still unlikely to ever sell my home in Oz. Maybe a move to Cambo, Vietnam or the Phills might suit you better.

                      Not that extreme. We bought our first house in Bangyai and car when it was 75 ! House cost 650,000 so dirt cheap then. While I was flush also took the wife to the UK because I knew it would get worse so decided to get the big expenses out of the way while I could.

                      If we could leave , which we can't because of MIL , we would go and make a good profit. Since all my family moved to the Isle of Wight we have visited twice and really like it, especially as the weather has been perfect there.

                        When I lived in Melbourne many years ago we went up gold prospecting around Ballarat which was one of the main gold prospecting areas of the 1850s. A lot of old mine shafts A lot of history too.The Eureka stockade etc. They still have trams and their own Brewery. Gets cold in winter there though.
                        Re buying property and selling up in your home country. I never considered it as I like to have a plan B. I am toying with the idea of spending some of my retirement in Phil if I like it. that may take a while to find the right place. Visa is a lot less onerous, from all accounts, especially compared to Thailand and only 3 hours from Bangkok.
                        I prefer to rent that way nothing to lose if you have to leave except for some furnishings. One of the things I have noticed when travelling up country is the many "Bahn farangs" you see complete with manicured lawns in some. Not hard to spot. Nice 3 or 4 bedroom house surrounded by a high fence. Generally built in or not far from the wife's village. Nice if you intend to die there but a real problem if you want to sell. Most Thais out in those country areas couldn't afford it and most farangs don't want to buy a relatively expensive house in the middle of nowhere. That coupled with the fact it will never belong to you and the uncertainty of the ever changing immigration laws. Foreigners can find themselves in the position that having lived in TL for years they suddenly have to leave. I hope for your sake that you still enjoy living here.Good luck.

                          Lightning Ridge used have a fantastic festival every Easter.



                          The highlight was the goat races. They'd go out and catch wild goats and hook them up to buggies and let them loos down the main street.

                          Unfortunately it is now considered animal cruelty.

                              Was a post deleted between that last one and the previous one ?

                              And by the way....I believe Maanaam from TD is now posting here. Does he have a different name, as I now do ?
