    Wow, when was the last time you climbed a mountain or explored a cave?

    Clearing some bushes sounds more believable, along with positive stories about putin from RT to c+p...fallacious 'links' to western powers to dribble on about semi-coherently...

    'bushes to clear' fails badly if he's using metaphor.

    Want to compare English Lit. study records?

    Your only time spent studying after 15 was when in jail.

    Slow day, eh?

    Maybe it's time for a roller-coaster shortbread thread?

    You should be able to crowbar a few boasts about your sexual prowess with prozzies in there somewhere.

    Being the same age as OP I wonder how would you manage insurance in Thailand once you're past 60?

    The insurance thing is only going to get worse. I am 45 and I already feel like chocking on my acid reflux. May get my residence in Canada back next year for free healthcare. Can't get that in Thailand.

    From my first hand experience healthcare is really shit in Thailand. I can't afford the Bum hospital.

    10mil condo for 50k a month sounds about right. The problem is how long will the place sit empty in Bangkok before it's rented out? Another problem is famous Thai maintenance, political uncertainty and floods. Who will want to rent your condo in 10 years when there are new shiny developments popping up everywhere?

    Most people in the UK can't even afford a first property and for expats with no ties to the country the amount of money involved would be a significant nest egg in itself.

    If I had £150K+ going spare by the time I reach that stage I wouldn't sink it into property to rent in a far off land, rather I'd want to invest it in something where I choose to put my feet up and have a close eye on it.

    Sure there may be more security in bricks and mortar in a reliable economy back home, but I would hope to make more of that money and something tangible to occupy me in my retirement.

    Probably already been dismissed as an option. But £150k in certain areas of the UK would get you multiple rental properties. For example, where I live the increase in private landlords buying up cheap properties has driven the price (and the area) right down. I paid £80k for my 2bed terrace 11 years ago. Its currently on the market and we've dropped it from £70k to £55k with no luck. Ours is probably the best available, but the properties which are actually selling are going for as little as £40-£45k. I can't see them going any lower so "should" go up in time. Each rents out for around £450 per month. Probs cost more in maintenance than just one property in a better area & there are some shitbags will trash them every now and then, but just saying to give people an idea of whats out there at the minute

    There are maximum rents, varying by area in the UK, based on DHSS tables. These usually determine the rental income.

    The north east is still pretty much a mystery to me though (I am from the south west) so I would struggle to know the right places etc. Probably using a property sourcing company would be the answer - if I could find one that was trustworthy!

    The rental yields do sound good though. I'm just about getting a 5% yield on the terraced house I bought in Plymouth - and that cost GBP 170k - ofcourse bought with a buy to let (expat) mortgage.
