Jomtien, gay capital of Asia.

What about retiring in Krabi or khanon

Better to be alone in Thailand or any place else. I am happy in my own company--let's call it real freedom.

Im aiming 100k a month

Welcome to your new life! I cannot believe you are 60?! Absurd 🇹🇭

Never retire from "something" : retire TO something

You can't find fulfilment in Thailand or anywhere else. Fulfilment is only in the arms of the Lord Jesus. Only HE can satisfy your soul. Stop dreaming and seek the Lord.

Don't dream too much. I am living in Thaïland. Good but not the Paradise.

All those who prefer Thailand then stay there we don't need you here in the Philippines 😂

What a great goal!

🎉

I spent some time in Hua Hin. One night on the nightlife street a Thai guy was dragging his Thai girlfriend along aggressively, he then started to physically assault her. She started screaming and no one would intervene as the guy was bout 30 and build like a tank. He dragged her into some entrance to an apartment opposite where I was having a beer and listening to music, and she let out a horrible scream. I'm like 49 and passed this sort of stuff, though over 100kg and some basic boxing; so, I thought I would try and help the young lass. Oh dear; I told the Thai guy to leave the lady alone and then he went for me. I was shocked as though this guy was shorter than me, he threw me against the wall like a rag doll and started to chock me. Shit what have I got myself into I thought! He tried to ground me but fortunately I managed to stay on my feet and then he lined up a clenched fist, I too responded with a clenched fist, and prayed to my Lord for help! Fortunately, God answered my prayer, and this guy dropped his fist and pushed me out of his entrance area. The local police turned up and I dearly wanted this guy charged for assaulting this young lady and for his attack on me. This guy was apparently known to the local cops and at the police station he was bowing, and they were showing him respect. End of story they didn't charge him with anything only asking him to pay a small fee for assault on me. I said I wanted him charged and asked for the tourist police address. They said they didn't know where it was. Turned out it was very nearby. I don't know if true, but I was told the thug was most likely local Thai crim and protected. But I don't know. All I know is if you have a problem don't expect the Thai police to help you. While Hua Hin is a nice place, if things go bad for you; wrong place, wrong time, don't expect justice. I went to the tourist police the following day to complain, and while they were very nice, they explained that as the local police was involved first, they couldn't do anything to assist. I have never been back to Hua Hin!

I checked out the website but it is not there. I do have a bachelor's degree and been teaching over 28 years. I am currently looking for more information as I would like to try teaching in Thailand.

Mr. Blogger, Don't Compare Philippines to Thailand. Bec. you are so bias. No problem if you choose to Thailand as your home, Philippines don't need you. You don't even mention the important factors being a travellers. You know only few factors that Thailand has; these are the good of Thailand: 01. Food 02. Culture which more (Buddhism ). But Language is very poor bec. Int'l language is english, you can not say go to Bangkok bec. there are some there. It must be everywhere in general, in the Philippines english is 2nd. Language. In terms of safety. We are not referring to troubles alone, sex is included bec. foreigners can be victim of severe sickness bec. Sex is rampant in Thailand, commercial sex is everywhere. Beach only few places in Thailand; But in the Philippines are plenty and Sandbars and so white the beach. In terms attractions; Manila was awarded for 2 consecutive years 2023 & 2024 Worlds Best Cities. And there are lots of 7 wonders of the world and nature, Like; Bohol Chocolate Hills, Cebu Cañoneerind, Swim with millions of Sardines Swim with Whale Shark in Oslob, Cebu. Adventure the Mountain at Osmena's peak in Cebu, Wind Surfing in Siargao, Dive at Palawan sea And No. 1 in Beauty Contests, all of Int'l Beauty contest, we have winners. Enternments; Philippines is no.1 Christmas and New Year Celebrations No. 1 of good singers in the World, no.1 the most beautiful Miss Universe. Philippines is the best for retired foreiners can live like King. Very cheap, easy visa, people super friendly and have heart to help, easy to communicate with, filipina a loving and faithful wife. Watch out, someday; "Philippines will be the best Choice of Tourists all over the word." Bec. PHILIPPINES is amazing and unique ❤😊.

Air quality index 159 = unhealthy and PM 2,5 66,8 = unhealthy, jan 8 2025 at 2 AM

No I wouldn't because legally you can only by a Condo, wouldn't recommend that either.

What money would you need per month $2000 ok or. $2500 dollars per month? To live a nice lifestyle? Chees and thanks for the info

Thumbs up 👍 George

You are required to bank 800,000 baht in a Thai bank and keep it there for a one year visa. If Thailand joins the Brics your country will not transfer money except Bricks members. You are required to buy health insurance of 3 million baht. It is a big chore for a one years visa that may or not be extended in the future.

living the dream! i am 41 and want to retire early to thailand, as soon as my crypto pumps

Hi George, retired living in Korat traveling to many costal locations including Hua Hin and Cha Am during the year. It’s a great place if you have your ducks in order 👍

Hi George, Another great video. Where is the beach at 1.05 mins, mate?

Don't retire in Thailand better and cheaper places Uruguay is fantastic and cheaper I love it there and also Panama is great

I live in Thailand and feel lonelier than i ever have in my life. Also, if you are a red blooded male, your money and soul can be destroyed pretty quickly. My 18 months in Thailand has been a lesson. I expected a paradise but have experienced a hell. It isn't that inexpensive either. Make you you health insurance or you can find yourself in trouble quickly.

I like your idea of keeping oneself busy in some productive activity. Just curious, what low-risk business a foreigner can start with an investment of US$100,000 in Thailand? Also, will it be safe to start a new business from the ground up or purchase an existing business already in operation? I have experience in owning and managing gas stations and grocery stores but no experience in managing restaurants. However, I am not planning ro retire in Thailand to be working seven days a week managing my business. I prefer to be a passive investor making money from my investment. Will appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

Give it up Thailand is not great been there many times and I won't go back. Ridiculous

If you just hype about cheap beer, hot lady or bench, you may think about it, or just travel Pattaya or Phuket 20 times, you may boring on it.

Happy New Year 2025 😊🎉❤

Happy New Year Guys Have a great 2025. Had fun making this one😂

How about both ? I have condos in Pattaya and charity in Buriram. Prakhon Chai moo Ban Sai.. Drive up once per month supplies and baht. 12 years already.. Train muay every other day while In Pattaya.. Drive to Bangkok Mek Fah muay near Lumpini. Clean sober 34 years.. Retired 65.. Love Thailand 🇹🇭 Having the Best Life.

Personally, I don’t understand this idea of “retiring” in a foreign country unless you are married to a local. I mean, how exactly are you making this country a better place for the people who live there? Is it simply because it’s cheap there? If that is the case, why not just live in a tent in your own country? I seriously don’t think that the locals like the idea of “well-off” foreigners living in their country sitting around getting daily massages and telling everyone how it’s great and cheap there while they are struggling to make ends meet.

Hua hin is well known for a boring place😊

Bottle water is cheap as chips I don’t drink the water but I brush my teeth shower etc never had a problem

yawn!

Are you taxed at the bank with 800k as a income

Thumbs up 👍 George

Great content as always keep it up

I'm planning to retire in Thailand early. I just can't live in America, I think I will have shorter life span if I don't move away from America. The water we consume has high fluoride and I keep having headaches. When I was vacationing 30 days in Thailand, I rarely get headache. What do ya'll think? You just feel the difference living aboard. Thai does not use chemicals for drinking water. I mainly drink a lot of coconut juices I think it's good for my health. I can't wait to retire!!!!! I'm looking at a land to buy 1 rai for 300,000 baht about 30mins to airport. That's my goal.

They'll default on the pensions soon so look out

Don't retire in Thailand there are much better places Thailand does not look after retire is Panam much better and never marry a Thai

800,000 and 65,000 a month, it's either one or the other, 2 options

I think it's ridiculous that you need £1700 a month coming in to retire in a country where the cost of living is almost half of what it is in the UK. I only earn that much now take home and as a single bloke i can live a quite comfortable life here in the UK.

Thailand, world champion of red tape ...

Much appreciate your insight and guidance. Happy Holidays!

I am a very experienced investment analyst, healthcare expert and former retirement adviser who has lived in and has experienced hospitals in Thailand. The #1 consideration for countries to retire: HOW GOOD IS THE ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE? Thailand medical is okay for routine checkups and minor procedures, but scores poorly in terms of survival rates with respect to chronic disease and emergency treatment compared to rates in advanced nations. When you're older, you should be most concerned with two things: HEALTH & MONEY. HEALTH: Thailand hospitals do not perform well with chronic disease care and emergency care due to high dependence in these treatment areas on high-tech and advanced training. There is no hospital in Thailand that has a comprehensive cancer treatment center. And traffic does not yield to ambulances. Imagine having a medical emergency and waiting on an ambulance in Thailand to arrive. Forget it. Moreover, Thailand scores poorly in public safety (safe walkways, road safety, construction safety, etc.). Why is public safety so important? Consider the fact that a simple accident (broken hip) can send you to the hospital when you're older and many deaths occur due to hospital acquired infections. This is particularly the outcome of hip fractures. To the gentleman who made this video. the reality is that you should expect your life expectancy to be reduced by several years as a result of issues with medical care alone. MONEY: I find it ironic how all of these vloggers focus on cost of living as the main draw to retiring in Thailand when the facts are #1: Thailand living costs are rising rapidly. I was just in Bangkok and spent $5,000 over 2 weeks. I did not party. Bangkok costs are now quite high. Even costs in Chiang Mai are climbing quite fast. But the main point is this. If you are scraping the bottom of the barrel with your budget, the LAST thing you'd want to do is move to a country that lacks a social safety net because you also have no family there or anyone else you can count on if something happens. If you are from the west and you are just getting by, you will qualify for various welfare programs. AND, hospitals cannot legally refuse service regardless of your ability to pay. In Thailand, if you cannot prove you can pay they will transfer you to a gov hospital (if you're lucky). Start thinking smarter people.

I was bored and lonely so i left. PLus you always get the feeling that the thais are racist and xenophobes. gets old always feeling like an outsider. Being charged more and mediocre facilities.

Get the right agent, and the $800k bht just magically turns up in your account lads,

Look at the avarage healthy age. From uk it's 64.2 !!!

actually not life expectancy go down from covid time look statistics a lot o people die a lot soner and yeah i expect that to continue becase of cancer and strokes that are crazy more common now.. mybe have some to do with the thing that people called a medicine that 75% of people took to save them.
