sounds like the best way to go, judging by other comments

can't use Google Maps on their phone 🤷 They'd rather trust someone with absolutely no drawing skills or sense of scale, to draw a map on a piece of paper... did they want it coloured in too 🤷🤣🤣🤣

@Tony ********

when you say "farangs massively contribute..." are you sure? I've got no idea, because I'm not living there (yet, but hopefully in the near future), but have heard it said that foreigners there on retirement and marriage visas don't contribute a great deal. You've got no argument from me though on what you've said. I do think though, that especially for those on marriage visas, should maybe get 5 year visas, if not longer, rather than annual (subject to basic proofs from time to time, of still married and living together)

@Tony ********

"invite farangs to re-write everything" lol, then things would be re-written to suit foreigners, then the country would head in the same direction countries such as the UK, Australia and USA are going - down the gurgler

@Tony ********

many Australians receive what is sometimes referred to as the Australian Aged Pension, which can be claimed at 'retirement age'. That's an Australian Government paid pension. It's not frozen like the UK pension that you referred to, rather it, I believe, increases each year (or most) in line with any annual cost of living increase. Then there's Superannuation, which is in many (or most cases for the average person), is funded by compulsory contributions by the Employer, but can also be contributed to, with limits, by the employee. Since it's introduction some decades ago, the more years one has worked and the higher one's income, the higher the Superannuation at retirement (subject to falls in things where the money is invested and events like recessions).

probably an accidental typo that wasn't picked up. You know what all those zeros do to the eyes

if you live in Thailand, you'll be able to save a lot of the money you spend on 'smokes', just breathe in the air from February to April when the 'burning season' is on. 🤣😢
