How I retired at age 32 & moved to Thailand. Retirement can be a financial hardship for most people. Near retirement is very rare, and most people depend on social security benefits. The best way to reduce the cost of living is to move to a country with lower costs. Thailand retirement is a perfect example, and many people opt to live in Thailand during their retirement period. Thailand has a warm climate, friendly people, foreign foods and above all Thai food which are much spicier.There are many foreigners from Japan, United States, South Korea, Western Europe, and it is considered safe to live. Retirement in Thailand is very different from the notion that is associated with the word. Retirement has acquired a brand new meaning which suits the new definition of the new generation of retirees. Retiring in Thailand is a common and attractive option.

I lived for years in both. Thanks for sharing.

Cool Jonny - thanks for the background! I hear you on the pet situation. Pets are a commitment and an obligation. They do limit your options. Both of my cats are 13 or 14 (rescue cats, so not exactly sure - LOL). I think they are trying hard to outlive me! Hopefully, though, I'll figure out a way to make another trip to Thailand next year - before I get too old and feeble - LOL. Take care mate. ;-)

Why be jealous of somebody's achievements you all have the same chances it's going out there and make it happen I did so can you depends on how bad you want it. For me I found an opening in the property market to my chances and it paid of now I watch my money grow and give to charities and I live of the interest with the way interest rates are which is shit it gives you an idea how successful I've been. You got to make it happen for yourself if you want it that bad.

Personally I would be wary of buying a property in Thailand. You have to remember that the country is still ruled by a military dictatorship, rules and regulations can and do change at the drop of a hat and the changes will always favour Thai nationals over foreigners. At least with having your investments in your home country you know it’s secure (barring a potential property or stock market crash). Besides one of the great things about Thailand is how super cheap rent is.
