Hi Grandpa.My post was not aimed at the 'alkis’and other types of dross,but in relation to several old ME colleagues and\or Swedes rom up her who are married to Thais or have just re-located for their old age.As i said some of my old mates[like me]worked for somewhat '‘dubious’'co in the past so have limited pensions.Like the guys here,and myself,if i work for 2 months in the summer here i make between 5-10k so can spread that over the Winter to supplement pension.Several guys do that and take the Money to Thailand.
