If you're a pensioner or on Social Security and choose a city other than Bangkok, you'll probably feel like the richest guy in town! If you're younger and have enough savings, you can retire years early, like I did! It's so cheap to live here, on a modest budget you can live a life of luxury: Dining in the finest restaurants, having a maid, getting daily massages, staying in fancy hotels, vacationing on the beach, exploring Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Saigon, Bali, Angeles, and other exciting cities in Southeast Asia... In my beautiful city you can rent a lovely studio apartment with 60+ channel cable TV and views for as little as $100 a month! Or you can buy a nice cozy home or condo for as little as $20,000! Dental and medical care are world-class, and the price is low. You'll be living the American Dream- only in Thailand! LOVE IS HARD TO FIND IN THE US OR UK. IT'S EASY TO FIND IN THAILAND! I had a hard time finding a compatible partner in America. After my divorce I found that the kind of woman I wanted - someone like the girls I knew in high school - no longer existed. Instead I went on computer dates with women who seemed mostly interested in how much money I had and what kind of car I drove and did I own or rent? Nobody seemed interested in me. I was miserable. And lonely. I kept getting told I was too old for the women I was attracted to. After awhile, I stopped dating altogether. THAI WOMEN DON'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE! THEY LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN YOU! Much to my amazement, I found that age differences don't matter to most Thai women! That's not true in Latin America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, or even the Philippines- and certainly not in the West. Thai women are Buddhists, and they believe we're all part of an endless cycle of birth and death, and it doesn't seem to matter to them where you are on that cycle. They have been taught to respect age- and they do. They've been taught to please men- and they do! You can be 40 or 70 - and many girls here will still find you attractive. Further, they look for the good much more than Western women. You can be overweight, plain, a smoker- girls there are much more accepting than back home. YOU CAN BE A PLAYBOY. OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID AND FIND ONE GIRL TO LOVE! Moving here, I totally transformed my life. I went from living poor to living like a wealthy man would back home. I went from living alone and miserable to being the biggest playboy- for awhile. I'd have 3 dates a day- and some of the girls were just knockouts. The sort of women who wouldn't give me the time of day in America were vying for my attention! But ultimately I found being a playboy just didn't suit me (although I have many happy memories!)- and I found a lovely and peaceful woman straight out of my dreams who was delighted to marry me! We've been together 12 years now. Plus, I have great friends, a lazy dog, a 4 year old niece who pops by to play with me everyday- and I live in a mansion I built for $60,000! This is my story. I tell it- not to brag- but to give you an example of what you can do in your own life. NOT READY TO RETIRE, BUT READY FOR LOVE? Lots of guys meet girls here and take them home- It's easy to fall in love with Thai girls! In the sequel to this book, FINDING THE LOVE YOU WANT IN THAILAND, I share comments and stories from 50 guys who looked for a devoted companion and found one- or didn't- in Thailand. Then, they and I share our personal and very detailed advice for how to succeed. Your dreams can come true... in Thailand!

Extreme inequalities in income,wealth and power lie behind Thailand’s political turmoil. What are the sources of this inequality? Why does it persist, or even increase when the economy grows? How can it be addressed? The contributors to this important study—Thai scholars, reformers and civil servants—shed light on the many dimensions of inequality in Thailand, looking beyond simple income measures to consider land ownership, education, finance, business structures and politics. The contributors propose a series of reforms in taxation, spending and institutional reform that can address growing inequality. Inequality is among the biggest threats to social stability in Southeast Asia, and this close study of a key Southeast Asian country will be relevant to regional policy-makers, economists and business decision-makers, as well as students of oligarchy and inequality more generally.

In the popular imagination, retirement promises a well-deserved rest—idle days spent traveling, volunteering, pursuing hobbies, or just puttering around the house. But as the nature of work has changed, becoming not just a means of income but a major source of personal identity, many accomplished professionals struggle with discontentment in their retirement. What are we to do—individually and as a culture—when work and life experience make conventional retirement a burden rather than a reprieve? In Retirement and Its Discontents, Michelle Pannor Silver considers how we confront the mismatch between idealized and actual retirement. She follows doctors, CEOs, elite athletes, professors, and homemakers during their transition to retirement as they struggle to recalibrate their sense of purpose and self-worth. The work ethic and passion that helped these retirees succeed can make giving in to retirement more difficult, as they confront newfound leisure time with uncertainty and guilt. Drawing on in-depth interviews that capture a range of perceptions and common concerns about what it means to be retired, Silver emphasizes the significance of creating new retirement strategies that support social connectedness and personal fulfillment while countering ageist stereotypes about productivity and employment. A richly detailed and deeply personal exploration of the challenges faced by accomplished retirees, Retirement and Its Discontents demonstrates the importance of personal identity in forging sustainable social norms around retirement and helps us to rethink some of the new challenges for aging societies.

The Ambiguous Allure of the West examines the impact of Western imperialism on Thai cultural development from the 1850s to the present and highlights the value of postcolonial analysis for studying the ambiguities, inventions, and accommodations with the West that continue to enrich Thai culture. Since the mid-nineteenth century, Thais have adopted and adapted aspects of Western culture and practice in an ongoing relationship that may be characterized as semicolonial. As they have done so, the notions of what constitutes "Thainess" have been inflected by Western influence in complex and ambiguous ways, producing nuanced, hybridized Thai identities.The Ambiguous Allure of the West brings together Thai and Western scholars of history, anthropology, film, and literary and cultural studies to analyze how the protean Thai self has been shaped by the traces of the colonial Western Other. Thus, the book draws the study of Siam/Thailand into the critical field of postcolonial theory, expanding the potential of Thai Studies to contribute to wider debates in the region and in the disciplines of cultural studies and critical theory. The chapters in this book present the first sustained dialogue between Thai cultural studies and postcolonial analysis.By clarifying the distinctive position of semicolonial societies such as Thailand in the Western-dominated world order, this book bridges and integrates studies of former colonies with studies of the Asian societies that retained their political independence while being economically and culturally subordinated to Euro-American power.

'Perhaps the best introduction yet to the roots of Thailand's present political impasse. A brilliant book.' Simon Long, The Economist Struggling to emerge from a despotic past, and convulsed by an intractable conflict that will determine its future, Thailand stands at a defining moment in its history. Scores have been killed on the streets of Bangkok. Freedom of speech is routinely denied. Democracy appears increasingly distant. And many Thais fear that the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej is expected to unleash even greater instability. Yet in spite of the impact of the crisis, and the extraordinary importance of the royal succession, they have never been comprehensively analysed – until now. Breaking Thailand's draconian lèse majesté law, Andrew MacGregor Marshall is one of the only journalists covering contemporary Thailand to tell the whole story. Marshall provides a comprehensive explanation that for the first time makes sense of the crisis, revealing the unacknowledged succession conflict that has become entangled with the struggle for democracy in Thailand.
