There is a significant difference between managing and living. I think most of us prefer to live.

Subjective - some would say you/we are managing.......



Some have no choice ......this guy’s life was much better in Thailand than it would have been in the UK.

......this guy’s life was much better in Thailand than it would have been in the UK.

105 days overstay. What the f**k was he thinking?

Don't know how they do it. No state U.K. pension as he is too young, so if he has means of support he could just do the border run. I have met people here who are claiming disability payments in the U.K. , but if you leave for over six months you might not be entitled to even healthcare. It is not worth the risk as the Thai detention centres are pretty grim and not for the faint hearted. Thailand is only a nice place to live if you have money, if not, forget it.

Is anywhere perfect. Always a case of trial and error.

Thailand has been my home for 33 years, and I firmly believe it is a far better choice that staying in the UK
