    Not only are they spiteful xenophobic, cunters, they are all stupid just like you.
    No retirement hassles at all At Nakhon Sawan immigration, in and out in about ten minutes.
    I did have a problem when I lost my Thai drivers license,all sorted in about an hour,I will admit it pays to have friends in Thailand.

    Jebus is your only friend and he helped you sort out your issues with a lost license in Thailand??

    What an awesome friend. Mine are cnuts and would probably laugh at me for the same thing.

    That, and my penchant for warmer climes, leaves me with a range of tropical or sub tropical regions.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    With that fucked up, English fuckwit head-up-the-arse attitude of yours, I suggest nowhere will suffice except perhaps fucking Darwin or Cairns.

    But, the insurmountable problem that you will always face is that because you are a silly English cvunt you will inevitably be fucked because most places don't want you unless you are rich or are married to one of their citizens.
    And because you silly fuckers have fucked up the EU membership and want a hard brexit you can't even go live there with any conviction.

    But the truly fucked up bit of your idiocy is the sheer fucking conceited ignorance of your stupid bigotry that leads you to think the EU is a monolithic bureaucracy when in truth the worst fucking system in the entire fucking world for processing foreign folk intent on settlement is in fact Britain which treats its own citizen sponsors like shit, has the most draconian rules, is the most expensive and represents the most impenetrable bureaucracy on the planet that is beyond any meaningful contact whatsoever.

    Given your EVIDENT predilection for indigenous cheap whores and need for warmth within a cheap environment where you will feel at home among fellow expats with the intellectual acuity of a fucking gerbil, I would suggest you locate to Cancun or Belize.

    Your ideological commitment to Little Englandism would put most Maoists to shame.

    Time to move on for me would be when things become completely unbearable. This is of course all relative to the individual. What's a minor annoyance for one is a major headache for another. Can't really think of any massive annoyances that I had in Thailand. Moans,yes- but extremes aggravation? Nah,not really.

    Immigration wise in Thailand I had to go to the Pathum Thani branch-never an issue and school paid for the return taxi fare or would just do the 90 day check on my behalf.

    Although living in Myanmar comes with a few minor annoyances, things would have to go very south for me to pull a midnight run.

    I hadn't actually considered that living among irrelevant and tawdry fools might actually contribute to the problem.
    Thanks for the heads up guys.

    Dinosaurs didn't have much choice about their extinction either.

    Im leaving hopefully by the beginning of 2018. Im just over it all. Gonna go back home. Junta is foking dumb and I have a pretty long list of irritants, but the end of the day I'm just incompatible with Thailand long term.

    Junta just being one of the final straws I guess.

    I leave all the time for work, and its a breath of fresh air when I land in Singapore.

    Thailand is a place where time almost stops. The world continually moves forward and nothing happens here. Lose good years if you're not paying attention. I mean FFS SpaceX is re-landing un-manned rockets on a dynamically moving barge but over here theres nothing but what you're gonna have for lunch.

    So yeah, planning to fuck this place off, move to FL, buy a new boat & flats fish until I turn lobster red.
    I'm looking to move back in 2020. Will need to completely renovate the house before we can live in it again though.

    And looking forward to figuring out where the best breakfast at the best price is in Pattaya. And where the best Sunday roast is.

    Oh yeah ... that's one of the main reasons I love Patters. All kinds of great food.

    But ... I'll always have my place in WA state. Never gonna give that up.

    West Co Cork is nice and they don't give people 35 years for facebook comments or for insulting a dead dog. No immigration pissing on you just because they can, ie want all passport pages copied even the blank ones, next year you provide same only to be met with why you give me these, they just fuk about too much. No wai ing hi so grovelling and no childish loss of face, women who can actually hold a conversation about more than aroi food and handbags and traffic not threatening your health at every other turn.
    You can buy a beer any time you like as well. Thailand is a rather nasty place.

    Anthony Rumbold, Britain's ambassador to Thailand from 1965 to 1967, mocked his hosts for an apparent lack of culture. "They have no literature, no painting and only a very odd kind of music; their sculpture, ceramics and dancing are borrowed from others, and their architecture is monotonous and interior decoration hideous," Rumbold wrote.

    "Nobody can deny that gambling and golf are the chief pleasures of the rich, and that licentiousness is the main pleasure of them all," he said.

    Tarija, Bolivia may suit you. Nice wine there. However, Bolivia has it's own peculiar ways. Colombia pushed a lot of the right buttons. Beautiful Caribbean coastline (unfortunately the Pacific coastline is soggy and not too secure). Medellin was pretty decent for a big city and the little towns to the south in the Coffee Axis are gorgeous. Better brush up on your espaņol though as English speakers are not too numerous.
    pues, estamos aqui
