Been donating to the temples for years now, still not healthy, wealthy, lucky or wise

How many millions of baht does one need to retire in Pattaya?
I don't know about a lump sum but in terms of income I would say around 200k baht per month. It all depends in how you want to live in terms of accomodation, food and drink, social life, travel etc.
