I've lived in the southern states, Akabama, Mississipi, Tenessee. In winter it gets cold even on the Gulf. Plus Thai ladies will find the food disgusting.
This is why it's a good idea to build up a reliable travel history. Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam are seen as having reliable immigration services, Laos is not seen a reliable. A few weekend trips might be in order. I highly recommend the YMCA in Hong Kong as a stonking great deal. Your girlfriend will love you for that, so win win.
A so-called financial advisor is recommending lies and deceit, and you think there is nothing wrong with this? This is why he's no longer a financial advisor, with all the ethical codes of conduct they are supposed to abide by. There is more than a hint of racism in the answer. Whether a pension dies with you depends on the scheme and he damn well knows that. What's a cheap car got to do with the question. A cheap car in Thailand, given the inspection standards, would likely result in a less safe, more polluting, more unreliable and probably dangerous. House ownership advice depends on circumstances and whether your girlfriend is a scheming prostitute or not. The same advice I expect applies to Aussies shacking up with a meth riddled prostitute in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth etc.
Apply for visitor or fiance visa. Use an agent in Bangkok. You need to write invite letters, share personal correspondence, provide financial information and proof of uj housing. Your gf is Laotian, from Laos, helps to spell that correctly in the application. She needs to give details of jobs, assets, dependants. Agents will advise to put 100k baht in bank to show uk
60,000+ baht per implant. That's £1400 and up. UK prices are £1500-3000. The risk, no matter where the surgery occurs and who does it, is risk of infection during implant ossification. Every patient is different. How does Thai medical liability law compare to elsewhere?
