‘Thailand Has Ruined My Life': This Man's Rant Isn't What You Are Expecting
The man explained how he first visited Thailand in May 2024 and instantly fell head over heels. You know that feeling when a vacation completely alters your sense of normal life? Like, you visit a place thinking it's just a trip, but it turns into an obsession. Case in point? A man whose life changed in a full-blown life crisis after he took a trip to Thailand, as he dramatically put it in a post on Reddit, saying, 'Thailand has ruined my life." The post seems more like a love letter to Thailand than a rant, though, as the man candidly shared how he ended up falling for the country on his very first visit, and people across the Internet are relating hard. In his Reddit post, the man goes on to explain how he first visited Thailand in May 2024 and instantly fell head over heels, so much so that he spent a total of '13 weeks" in the span of just 12 months there. Simply put, his life has not been the same since. Guess what? He went back again in December for another five-week trip to the beautiful country. 'I first visited on May 24, fell in love with the place. Within the next 12 months, I went again 4 more times for a total of 13 weeks, going back again for 5 weeks in December," read the Reddit post. Man's Retirement Plans Now, all the man thinks about is retiring in Thailand only, and that's not all. He is also ready to leave his well-paid job, sell off all his possessions, and start a new life there. And honestly, is he to be blamed here? The man further wrote, 'All I ever think about is retiring there at 50 now, constantly talking about the place. Willing to leave a fairly well-paid job in 4 more years and sell all my possessions just to get out there full-time at 50. D*mn you, Thailand for being so d*mn good!" Internet Relates Hard And the Internet? It instantly flooded the comment section with their reactions, and it seems that they did not just understand the man but lived his dream. One of them also offered a reality check, saying, 'You should come for a period of several months and try to live as a resident; things can be very different." Another added, 'I'm retired here, and I love it here. I will tell you, the grass isn't greener on the side; it's just a different shade of green. You really need to slow down and spend a few months continuously in one place to see what it's really like." Meanwhile, others encouraged the man, saying, 'Totally doable if you can find a remote gig and can also do it in the local time zone…. If not, save enough to last you until Social Security kicks in…. I'm 58 and wishing I had done this in my late 40s (now a plan to expatriate in a couple years)." Someone else added, 'Do it. I sold everything, got a remote job and moved here in April. As ghosttravel said, 'YOLO'." Well, Thailand is the ultimate escape plan for many, not just the man who said it out loud. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Deep as ocean,' PM Modi calls Maldives India's ‘most trusted' friend, announces ₹4,850 cr line of credit
India and the Maldives on Friday exchanged eight key agreements covering a wide range of sectors, including Line of Credit, debt repayment, fisheries, digital transformation, and Unified Payments Interface (UPI), in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu. Modi's visit signals a significant improvement in India-Maldives relations after a period of tension. He also revealed that the two nations are moving forward with negotiations for a bilateral investment treaty and have already begun talks on a free trade agreement. 1. Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised that New Delhi is proud to be the "most trusted" friend of the Indian Ocean archipelago. 'For us, it is always friendship first,' Modi said in his media statement, adding the 'roots of our relations are older than history, and as deep as the ocean.' The Maldives holds an important place in India's "Neighbourhood First" policy and MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) vision, the prime minister said, as reported by PTI. 2. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that India is proud to be the Maldives' most trusted friend, following the announcement of a ₹ 4,850 crore line of credit to support the island nation. The two leaders witnessed the exchange of six MOUs in the fields of fisheries and aquaculture, meteorology, digital public infrastructure, UPI, Indian pharmacopoeia and concessional Line of Credit. 3. The new Line of Credit offers Rupees 4850 crores [ approx USD 550 million] in support of infrastructure development and other activities in Maldives. An Amendatory Agreement for the existing LoCs was also exchanged. It reduces Maldives's annual debt repayment obligations by 40% [from USD 51 million to 29 million]. Both sides also exchanged Terms of Reference of the proposed Free Trade Agreement. 4. The two leaders also virtually inaugurated a roads and drainage system project in Addu city and six High Impact Community Development Projects in other cities. Prime Minister handed over 3,300 social housing units and 72 vehicles for Maldives National Defence Force and the Immigration authorities. 5. Prime Minister also handed over two units of Aarogya Maitri Health Cube [BHISHM] sets to the Government of Maldives. With state-of-the-art medical equipment as part of the cube, it can provide medical aid to 200 casualties with in-built support to sustain a crew of six medical personnel for up to 72 hours. The recent improvement in India-Maldives relations is particularly notable given the initial strain under Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, who took office in November 2023 after campaigning on an "India Out" platform and is seen as having close ties to China. Tensions escalated quickly after Muizzu's inauguration, when he called for the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from the Maldives. In response, India replaced its military presence with civilian personnel to ease diplomatic friction. The Maldives remains one of India's key maritime partners in the Indian Ocean Region, and bilateral ties in defence and security had strengthened significantly under previous Maldivian administrations.
