Leaving aside the whole issue of what's a person with a million baht in net-worth doing living in Thailand (or any foreign country) to begin with, I'm sure there are many in similar situations. We see it in Pattaya as well. However, they are certainly not going to have much of a warm welcome back in Blighty if they plan to return there. The economy pretty much sucks in most of Europe (ex-Germany and the Scandinavian countries), with 25-40 percent cuts in public sector employment rolls and reductions in "benefits" to boot.
Sounds like to me that many folks didn't do their planning too well or partied too hardy during their abbreviated stays in the LOS. Maybe best to head on over to Rooland as I read that blokes fresh out of high-school can make AU$ 100k per year working in the mining industry. [Tip to get there: Go to Philippines for 6 mos. and find a Filipina nursing graduate to marry and then apply for skilled migration visa to Aus. and piggy-back in as her husband.]

Your little quip about someone with 1,000,000 baht net worth is doing or living in Thailand is not well -taken. People can do whatever they please and can enjoy life with a sense of adventure. You do not have to be a wealthy idiot to have fun in this world. Someday your luck may run out, no matter what your plans where. I do agree life is full of consequences, but life is also full adventure and taking the chance. You sound like a person who would only make a bet in card game if he had 4 aces.
