From experience I can confirm that it is often the case that it is significantly cheaper to buy a ticket such as the one mentioned out of BKK. If he waits to buy it after arrival, he will not be allowed to board the flight to BKK without a visa. The best way around this is to buy in advance a ticket...

You can buy a one-way ticket with no visa, but you will not be allowed to board the flight to Thailand without proof of a ticket out. The ticket out does not have to be a return ticket to you point of departure. So say you are flying London to BKK, you could buy a one way ticket London to BKK and a ...

Malaysia has a retirement program that actively encourages foreign retirees. Under their scheme you can own up to 2 houses. Further, you can buy them as investments before moving in. :P Foreign retirees can be an important wealth generator for Thailand and Malaysia. I suspect things will not change ...
