already retired and remarried here ... great supportive large local family makes it all work ... great food and a quiet calm place to live safely 70 and loving it
Fantastic video. Been here 12 years and this video was as informative as any.
At least 20 trips since 1994. Longest stay 5 years No problem at all dealing with every problem u mentioned. Expat 37 years in 20 countries, 90% in 4 countries.
The one thing you failed to talk about with regard to retirement/long-term visas is the effect of marrying a local person. Actually, most youtubers fail to mention it. So, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me, or talk about it in one of your videos. Otherwise, this was a most informative video. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful work with us.
Great info!!
@Keyframes5, as we all know now, Thailand is set to join the BRICS+ bloc. The effects os this issue could be monumental. Would you please, tell me what your expectations on how this could affect Thailand's GDP? My guess is that it will continue to rise up to USD650 B. But I'm really interested to know your thoughts in this regard. Thank you. Please, keep up the great work you're doing.
You are always at the mercy of the exchange rate, another global financial crash and the dreams crash..
It’s the same in ALL COUNTRY in the WORLD. Tell me if $2500 a month pension in the USA is emough. GOOD LUCK
Its not and wont be enough moving forward. 2500 or 70.000thb is enough per person given your single that is. Everything is getting expensive everywhere
The police is so curropt
Where....you mean in your country where they can gun you down or what are you talking about?
Unfortunately A terrible video.!!! Period. Misleading information.!!!
