I agree, some obligation would be required for the sake of discipline, if nothing else.
Perhaps I could start an expat's newspaper; the British Bulldog, with a Telegraphesque editorial tone and articles bemoaning the paucity of decent staff and the repulsive habits of the locals.

The Daily Thailegraph, surely?
You do realise that if you moved to Thailand, people would just assume you were a *****phile, don't you? :-(
The kind of person who would assume such is thing is not the kind of person about whose assumptions
I would be inclined to care, if I may be as convoluted as so to say.
Of course, of course. However, there would inevitably be difficult conversations for those of us

"What happened to old Sir Charlie?"
"Oh, he lives in Thailand these days...
*AWKWARD PAUSE*

It may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Sadly, these are exactly the sort of folk the judge will have been advised by

I see you going more Colonel Kurtz, tbh.

Apparently the 'Nam is also a good option. Cheapest of all is Cambodia.
I love Cambodia. Allegedly a retired couple who wish to live a 'western' lifestyle should budget 2,000 USD per month for all living expenses :hehe:
My favourite Brando, I think.
Or possibly The Wild One, when he says "We don't go anywhere; we just *go*!"
