Tired of Chicago winters, this Gen Xer retired at 46 and moved to Bangkok. It cut his monthly spending by half.
https://www.businessinsider.com/american-gen-xer-retired-in-bangkok-thailand-save-money-friends-2024-11
It was 2016, and he'd spent the past 25 years in the toy industry overseeing product development. His routine was the same: wake up, go to work, come home, play
a video game, and sleep. At 44, retirement was weighing on his mind.
No sex
Things improved when he followed a friend's suggestion to explore a site for meeting people with the same interests. Through meetup.com, Chris was able to
connect with other expats and make Thai friends. Playing pickleball was a great way to connect with new people, he said.
New sex
"Bangkok is such a massive city. It's so easy to walk up to almost anybody and say hello," he said. "I don't do it as much as I used to because I have a lot of
friends now. I'm like, I can't handle more friends," he said with a laugh.
Too much sex
John Walker, 73, moved from Australia to Chiang Mai, a province in northern Thailand, in 2019. He lives on an annual pension of about $18,000 and saves about
40% of his income. "People from all different countries come here," he told BI. "It's got a huge retirement community."
Old with older sex
Similarly, Jeffrey Odgen, 75, decided to retire in Hua Hin, a beach town south of Bangkok. "The people here are very respectful. They respect their elders,
whereas you don't get that in other European countries," said Odgen, who's originally from the UK.
Old with younger sex
For Chris, being able to live any type of lifestyle is his favorite part of living in the city.
Sex with Trans sex

I love how everything in the article is code for "he's having as much sex as he wants now." He's a handsome dude and
should be crushing it over there.

I guess if you are a man desperate for easy and cheap sex, Thailand may be the place. My uncle has this Iranian friend
named Reza aka Papa Kevin to the Thai girls. This guy destroyed his life in Thailand. He was divorced from an American wife and used Thailand as an outlet.
When he still had money, he built a house there for some woman he married. He went back to the USA and when he returned to Thailand, she threw him out and
nothing he could do in since foreigners cannot own property in Thailand. He told he he thought she said she loved him forever. She told him that was yesterday
and this is today. Now he is pretty much a loser who relies on money from his sister. She runs a Persian restaurant. Anyway, he now comes back to the USA every
few months to work seasonally at Macys. Then he goes back to Thailand to spend more money for cheap sex.
Japan and Italy are nice for women. If you are a man and actually invested in spending time, you could find somebody who likes you for you and not just a visa.
With that being said, my mom has a coworker who got lucky in Thailand. He is older though and married a woman around his age with a son from a previous
marriage. She stayed with him and they have been together for decades and also have a home in Thailand.
Southeast Asia doesn’t interest me much to be honest. Seeing people eat exotic meats isn’t my thing. Joran van der Sloot became an expat in Thailand after
he was accused of murdering Natalee Holloway and before he went down to Peru and killed Stefany Flores where he is now in prison. Thailand and Laos seem to
generally attract shady people.

I also knew this white girl from Virginia who was scammed out of a house. She is a weirdo who likes short southeast
Asian men. Rich and when she was 19, she built a house for some 40 something year old loser in Thailand and his family took the house.
Also doesn’t Thailand have high rates of STDs, you can screw around and make the biggest mistake of your life and contract HIV.

Chicago winters also aren’t as bad as they used to be and I love snow and cold. It’s pretty. I want to be
somewhere like Lapland.

I meant not many singles in Japanese villages and Italian villages, social life would be better in a big city
Only old people in those buy a home for 1 euro towns
You should be proud of the woman who scammed papa Kevin. Seems like he deserved it
If someone pays other humans for the use of their bodies, then they cannot claim that those people in return have to treat them decently. Its kind of like a
predator crying foul when the mice bite it. No honor amongst thieves kind of thing.
The way i see it, The scum eventually floated to the surface, after being papa Kevin for a bit.

Well while my mom and I were out, my uncle made a snack. He didn't know that the little dog's dish had a piece of tape
on the bottom. Anyway, he took the dog plate out of the cupboard and gave it it to Papa Kevin to eat out of. We didn't tell Papa Kevin, but after Papa Kevin
left back to Alabama as he was already going broke and my uncle didn't want to have to support him the entire trip so be bought him a bus ticket back to
Alabama, we told my uncle he gave that dude the dog dish. I guess what you don't know can't hurt you. lol.
This Reza aka Kevin dude is gross and he even smokes long skinny lady cigarettes. He has a pretty successful brother and sister who have now moved to Alabama.
My uncles both knew lots of Iranians in Alabama from their time in the restaurant business. There was this other Iranian dude who hilariously called himself
French Bobby. He did grow up in France and likely was also born there, but he was Iranian.
If you want to know another Thai love story. My mom works for the airline and many of her male coworkers go there. One young blonde early millennial late Gen X
guy years ago found a wife in Thailand. She had two children. He adopted the kids and brought them and the wife here. She died after a few weeks in the USA. No
clue what the cause, but he kept the children. Very sad.
Some Italian villages still have pretty crazy social scenes like soap operas. My village died down, but back in the early 10s, there were some crazy affairs
that happened. Keep in mind, it's not just Italians in some of the villages. Many Romanian ladies who work as caregivers hanging out in some of the Italian
villages these days. Romanians and Moldovans may be the Thai ladies of Europe. I guess it all depends on what you want though. Bangkok looks more developed
these days. I was seeing some of their cinemas, they look higher tech than the USA, but I guess Thailand is still a third world country???? Brokedown Palace
should also be a cautionary tale. I loved that film... but yeah police in Thailand seem icky. In Italy, police never bother anybody. The Amada Knox case is a
huge outlier. Not sure about Japan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokedown_Palace

There is an expat drug gang scene in thailand. Not to mention it is the golden triangle
This one was one of the weirdest stories I read from there

Those Australians are just wrecking havoc everywhere. That guy also seems to have an Italian surname so he may be from
Melbourne. I honestly know more people in Australia than I probably do in Chicago. It's just crazy. Kanye West's gf Bianca Censor is also Italian Australian.
All the same, even before many people from various European and Middle Eastern countries went to Australia, it was originally a British penal colony so I guess
some of the stuff about the country makes sense.
The biker article highlights another reason why Thailand is risky though, the death penalty. They carried out an execution in 2019 and I think even have
mandatory death penalty not just for homicide, but also other crimes like drugs. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/06/thailand-countrys-first-execution-since-2009-a-deplorable-move/
Bikers are weird anyway. I saw this movie over the summer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21454134/

Drug trafficking in Thailand is punishable by death. They also appear to have caning for lesser crimes. There was
that story in the '90s about the American offender who vandalized cars and was caned in Singapore. The question is: if more offenders received corporal
punishment, would there be less crime? I don't think the idea of sitting in a cell reading magazines is much of a deterrent to most criminals. What we need is
Judge Dredd, who can mete out justice on the spot so that criminals connect the crime with the punishment and offend less.

Drug traffickers and dealers are scums destroying communities. In the case of those pushing heroin often laced with
fentanyl, they are selling a product they know can kill somebody instantly. I don’t feel sorry for them at all and think they should be treated just as we
treat those who murder. With that being said, I don’t support the same penalties for users who get caught with much smaller amounts of drugs.

Thailand is very easy living for unadventurous farang trying to survive on a few groats a day for the rest of their
lives. Chiang Mai has a popping expat scene in areas like Nimman. Food is great, health care good in the cities, and farang can get away with a lot. I'd be
happy to live there, but for the time difference.

😮 It is pretty good in Thailand, and there's a lot to see in the area. Malaysia has even better food, and the same
beaches untouched by the hordes that pollute southern Thailand beaches. Cambodia is where the desperados who are too skeevy even for Bangkok go. In Laos you can
crawl into a hut for a few dollars a night and smoke opium until the cows come home.
