It's always the way

Our April trip is going to begin in Bangkok but I don't know if we will still be there mid March. Probably, Bangkok will be 4 weeks before we move on. We only know that much right now, We will probably make a quick visit just to say hello to Pattaya and then who knows, maybe north for a few weeks and then begin to head back down south and spend two weeks in the Songkla district (Hat Yai) to see if it is somewhere I want to settle on a longer term basis. It's all a bit vague right now but I do know that come April 5th I will need to leave Malaysia again (assuming I do get another 90 days when we return from Patong, I think I will as this time it will be a new year)

Thanks for that, I have kept myself informed of the tax situation since the announcement was made toward the end of 2023. If I do end up settling in Thailand I will have to pay a small amount of tax. I will get the appropriate help to help me with that...

We haven't decided where to settle yet, it could be Thailand on an O visa later this year or stay in Penang The MM2H visa is ridiculously expensive to retire in Malaysia so I am on a tourist visa for now, which is 90 days. If we decide to settle in Malaysia I will be 'employed' by hubbys family so I can stay here on a work visa instead. We are going to do a three month trip across Thailand in April next year to see if we prefer Thailand to retire to. for now 90 day and a border hop, hence christmas in patong.

My Hubby and I will be in Patong from dec 19 to Jan 6 If any like minded folk happened to want to meet for a coffe or beer, to pass the time of day and put the world right, feel free to let me know. We are not looking for any sexual encounters but we are open to such activitives if we all like what we see. We only ever entertain together but that's not what we are looking for, just mention it so you know. I am 65yo gwm retired from the UK and hubby is 50yo chinese. We're together 18 years now. We left the UK to live out here, his family live in penang, he is from penang, we live in a family owned flat in penang, coming up to Phuket for christmas as my 90 days are up and I need to move for a few weeks before returning to penang. We are friendly, we both smoke, he doesn't drink alcohol, I like beer. We don't mind the gay bars but not essential. We don't care for woke pronouns and don't have any agenda other than having an easy day We are polite, kind and not in to any drama. Easy life for us. We like cats. Cheers for now.
