Rom Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I think I had mentioned this place here in the Board. It's an exclusive retirement community for Swedes between Pattaya and the airport and I went there once 10 years ago with a Swede who lived there and it was all old Swedes, including women, and the community was not open to non-scandinavian farang nationalities. I think my aquaintance said they even get reimbursed or subsidized from the Sweden welfare systems for most of their housing and healthcare costs there. My acquaintance also said Swedish men living there with Thais was frowned upon, but that a few of the residents had entered relationships and were challenging that. For the most part, the men chose to have their sexual trysts in BKK and Pattaya (where I met him at Sensations) and not bring prostis into the community. But that was 10 years ago. Wonder how the place is doing? https://scandasia.com/senior-scandinavians-dream-living-in-thailand/ In the outskirts of small town Bangsaen, on Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard, lies a truly special senior living project called Scandinavian Village. As in the name, it is dedicated to Scandinavian people only. And after 15 plus years in operation this residential living community is really thriving. A visit is really an eye-opener about how this senior living project has become a true success and the factors why that is the case. A Dane, a Norwegian and a Swede who reside there explain why they have chosen this as long-stay home away from home, and what makes it so unique. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 On 11/17/2023 at 6:39 PM, Rom said: they even get reimbursed or subsidized from the Sweden welfare systems Those days are over. We can't afford treating in-house patients anymore. The free market drained our tax financed welfare and put a stop to all benefits unless you have a private insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
