    Your guest comment on being able to eat well in Thailand is true, though in Canada if you cook for yourself you can eat just as healthy! Yes food will cost more in Canada. Though you can eat just as healthy in Canada as in Thailand. Many supermarkets in Canada you can buy many Asian vegetables. Or Thai foods, many big cities in Canada have China towns were you can buy many ingredients to make Thai food. If you know how to really cook you can eat cheaply in Canada as well.

    Another Canadian here: retiring in Thailand or long-term living overseas in general is not everyone. It can go so wrong if you're not careful. There's no one-size-fits-all, not everyone can adjust or can afford to. And if everyone moved here, this wouldn't be Thailand anymore.

      Exactly a great reason to retire in Thailand.

      ​@@gabuchan123There's no official road rage statistics, and how you would ever get any derived from "your perspective" is beyond me. But there are definitely way more road deaths in Thailand than Canada.

      Canada does a good job selling nature and the vastness of the land but I can agree to a degree that it is overpriced and hard to buy a house.

      @@TimeToTravel-u2xIt is extremely expensive to live here, especially as I look at the costs to live in other locations around the world , including the parts of the USA. We are very heavily taxed and housing for most people is completely out of reach. As a family of 3 we spend $1300 a month on groceries alone for basics.

    Chiangmai is even better if you're a runner or cyclist. there are so much to do and so many routes and street food and cafe along the way. You don't need to make friends, you will automatically make friends in the cycling group!
