Nursing Home or Home with Private Nurse/Helpers

Sorry, I thought they spoke Scottish in Scotland. My mistake.

I looked it up for you francois. According to Wikipedia only 1.1% of the population of Scotland speak Gaelic (or Scottish if you prefer). But according to your own high standards this thread has - courtesy of you, it seems - veered off-topic and is now a train wreck.

In ageing Thailand, developers race to supply locals and elderly expats

If only we had a moderator that would close this thread, so far off topic.

Actually wombat, the post by bobsaigon is on topic.

Oh, I believe you have been uncharacteristically unfair with your above comment, lonelywombat. As françois correctly pointed out, bobsaigon2 made an on topic post at #62, the post immediately preceding yours.

And, as far as the moderators are concerned, well one has resigned, one has gone AWOL and the other appears to be living an unabashed, hedonistic lifestyle in Myanmar, with young Burmese boys queuing in their droves, as they wait to be admitted to his hotel bedroom. So don’t be expecting him to concern himself with the forum any day soon, as he has far more important duties to attend to.

No need to close the thread.

No mention of boys, which was I thought one of the original prerequisites. On re-reading the OP I realise his question was more general. However, I would prefer one dedicated to the pink triangle.

All bathrooms have hot and cold running boys.

Dragging this thread kicking and screaming back to the OP's question ...

Reuters has published a story about developers catering to elderly Thais and ex-pats in what sounds like a retirement village on "the edge" of Bangkok. I think I'd want to know what will happen to my (I'm guessing) 4 million baht asset (the housing itself) once I die, but it definitely sounds interesting: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-t...-idUSKBN1HH3KI

Yet if I ever got to the point of becoming a drooling vegetable I'd probably appreciate him taking things into his own hands and throwing me out the window!

What a lovely thought to wake up to. Thanks, a447!

I was actually thinking about being cared for in my own home, not in a nursing home. And, putting a clause in the will stating that I had to die in bed. Of course, the bed would be firmly bolted to the floor. That should put an end to any concerns about having to quickly learn how to fly.

Maybe even before.. hopefully.!
