No country for old men?

[kittyboy]

I suspect - only a suspicion mind you - that my correspondent in Chiang Mai didn't plan to have bowel cancer; my friend with diabetes also didn't plan to develop a chronic condition that would cost him in excess of 1,000 baht a week in medication if he sourced his drugs in Thailand. None of us know what's around the corner (and that includes speeding drivers that can leave people as quadraplegics, for example). But perhaps Dr Pangloss is practising medicine in Khon Kaen?

I would rather die at a younger age living in an exotic place ..than die old hiding safe at home.
That isn't a choice many people would make but it is my choice.
You should like you want to criticize other people's choices or sound the alarm about the dangers of those choices. People don't need your criticism or your alarm ringing.
You can tell me about what you would do..I have zero interest in you telling others what to do, think, consider etc.
