    We have spent six months living in Hua Hin Thailand. We are back in Aust finalising things here before heading back to Hua Hin permanently in January. Hua Hin is fantastic. Just 3 hours south of Bangkok. There are plenty of different expat groups to join if you want. We spend our days there riding our paddle boards, going to the gym, enjoying a variety if delicious food and enjoying the company of new friends. We can highly recommend Hua Hin. (We considered Sanur as a retirement place but decided that Hua Hin offered a bigger variety if things to do).

    Wow huge apartment for 2 people for a 3 month stay.
    Karen would love the 3D art museum , not to be missed, its on the beach side. I got some amazing photos of my wife among the art. I have never been to a country with one before. Ba Na hills was amazing, it was like visiting Europe for a day with castles. If you go get there when it opens so you get to go on the bridge with the hands without the crowds. Getting a cheap cruise on the River to see the dragon blowing its fire and water is also a must. Cost us $12 each.

    This is just a suggestion. Have you thought about finding support groups in the places you travel?
