Retiring in Thailand.
Thailand has become a destination of choice for many foreigners for a number of reasons. When asked about Thailand every expat you meet gives you a different reason. When taking an overview as to why they made Thailand their retirement choice more often than not they list the following reasons: Thailand has a lower cost of living without having to sacrifice your lifestyle you enjoyed back in your home country while you had been actively working. Weather. It has over the years always been the Brits who complain about the weather back at home. Their reason for making Thailand their choice as their retirement destination revolves more around the weather than the cost of living. Housing costs are also more than reasonable. Many retire in Thailand decide to purchase a house while many others prefer the lock up and go lifestyle that an apartment offers them. Again, depending on your lifestyle you are very easily able to rent an up market apartment or condo for less than $700 per month.
Security is today of paramount importance to everyone especially those who are retired. In this regard, Thailand is a much safer place than where you more than likely live right now. Crimes committed against foreigners are very low and those few that do happen usually make the headlines.
For those retiring in Thailand having access to proper healthcare is of paramount importance. As we grow older we need to care for ourselves more. Thailand offers many international hospitals at a much lower cost than what you would expect at home. A visit to a doctor at an international hospital for the flu costs 800 Baht or $24 including medication.
Last but not least – The lifestyle. Having spent your life working and saving for your retirement you would like to spoil yourself. Thailand has much to offer from a shopper’s paradise of clothes, furniture and pottery right down to cheap Spa and massage services. Your average foot massage in Thailand costs less than $10. What could be better?
