Thank you David

@James ******

It amuses me to read comments like that....Obviously you have no idea how lucky a person has to be to reach an "old age" ...and double that up again to still enjoy sex if you do.

I counted 13....not 16 ?

Perhaps...someone will eventually actually answer your question...

(When the guys are finished showing us how witty they think they are).

No!...The 800,000 is enough on it's own.

@Paul ******

I never knew that...I am 75?

Thai people are not racist. Yes, they would like to be white but that is not because of racism...It is a "class" thing. They see a "darker" fellow Thai as being "lower class". Like...they associate it with being darker from working in the fields.

Not always?

Don't know if this will be of much help.

After 23 years retired in Thailand I went home to Ireland for a holiday in 2020 and found myself caught up in the COVID lockdown. I got myself an address and attended a clinic for a Vaccination. It was a "Primary Health/Care Clinic"... so I registered myself with it... They asked me to return for a "Blood Test"... long story short...they discovered I had Type 2 Diabetes...a Prostate problem...High Blood Pressure...and Heart Fluctuations....

So there you have it...4 years later,... I have just received my 2nd biopsy on the prostate (2 days ago).... Am attending a hospital for Diabetic tests and retina screening...and a different hospital for ECG's on the heart.

I only return now to Thailand for holidays.

I suppose, my main advice would be...Try and get yourself registered with a "Primary Care Clinic" or similar...if they have them in the UK...They make all the appointments necessary and take care of the "smaller stuff like doctor's appointments etc., including Chiropody. I am at this point on 7 tablets a day.

All this is free...because of my age, I was able to apply for and received a Medical Card...I also get free travel on the public transport system like busses and trains all over the country (all pensioners do here).

At one point, I returned to Thailand (I missed it so much) and renewed my yearly Retirement Extension. I had intended to pack it all in and give up all the hospital appointments, tests, visits to doctors etc.,here...and ...just die over there...but luckily, I came to my senses and decided I could not look a gift horse in the mouth and instead developed an "attitude of gratitude".

To the person who made the OP... I sincerely wish you all the success in the world in your "new life"...You never know, it might lead to "new adventures"...G.B.
