If only Colombia was a good place to retire, those bois are so hot there. I've seen many twinks on Chaterbate that give Thai twinks a run for their money.
So the money you spent buying the condo has no opportunity cost and the exchange rate between the Thai baht and your home currency has remained the same? You bought after 1997 I assume.Originally Posted by fountainhall
You assume correctly. Under similar circumstances, I would do exactly the same.Originally Posted by kommentariat
And the opportunity cost?Originally Posted by fountainhall
ive considered living/retiring in neighbouring countries to thailand due to the hiking costs of thailand now, then visiting thailand at weekends or the odd week here & there
i love you, i miss you.............. i lie you
As I've mentioned before, my older brother lives quite happily on his Irish state pension in Sihanoukville. It wouldn't be where I'd choose to retire (only been twice, but not impressed). But it's certainly possible to live cheaply in Asia, maybe just not in Thailand?
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
You might want to spend sometime in Phnom Penh it certainly would be on my list.Originally Posted by joe552

I've spent a few days at a time in Phnom Penh and really liked it. Not sure if I could live there permanently.

For the last 10 years i have been dreaming of retiring to LOS .
But now i find myself within a few months of being able to, my preferences have changed completely .
The good old UK, doesn`t seem so bad to me now , and i actualy like the changing seasons, and the bearable temperatures.
So personaly, i think i will stay where i am, and try to spend the coldest british months, in LOS. .
