Thanks for the info, I don’t have to worry about the same thing happening in Penang because I don’t go to the embassy myself, there is an Indian guy just down the road from the Blue...

Re: Life in Penang

Hi TD,

Re: Life in Penang

Re: Life in Penang

Well, quite obviously now I realise that I have stumbled into the British expat’s lunatic asylum forum. If you cannot tell right from wrong then you would be better off changing your nationality to...

Re: Life in Penang

That's okay not nosey, I get £236 per month which has decreased in Thai Baht here by thirty percent over the last three years, due to exchange rates.

Re: Life in Penang

I don't have any friends and family in the UK and I don't have the money to go back there even if I wanted to, the financial trap.

Re: Life in Penang

Re: Life in Penang

Re: Life in Penang

I consider myself a fool because it has happened more than once with me, so I do blame myself for letting it happen and not being more observant. FYI I am still married to the first person that...
