Hi one and all

Thanks for all your comments.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, I was not and did not intend to make a racist comment. I was only curious to see if married couples retired in Thailand, so my apologies if I did offend anyone. Certainly very happy to make friends with any English speaking couples (even if your partner only has limited English). Sorry we cant speak Thai. However, First thing on my agenda is to try and learn to speak Thai - just enough so that I can communicate

I will check out the suggestions made.

We have been holidaying in Thailand on and off for over 20 years now and have always said we would like to spend some of our twilight years in Thailand to the extend that we brought a small apartment in Bangkok about 4 years ago and have downsized in Australia to a small apartment so we can enjoy the best of both countries. Incidentally, I don't think we would have purchased an apartment if we had read all your comments first, however in saying that we have been able to find very good tenants as well as have the occasional holiday between tenants so it has worked our well for us. From my perspective ownership of an apartment in Thailand is not all bad providing that one understands that it is not going to be easy to sell when the time comes.

Thanks again, I do enjoy reading all your comments in this forum even if some of them seem to go off track.

Hi one and all.

This is my first post, I have been reading all your posts for the past few months with interest.

Being a newbie to Thai Visa forum I am keen to know how many farang’s actually retire in Thailand as a married couples? It would appear from reading your posts that many of you have met and married Thai Ladies.

We are planning to spend half of the year in Thailand (Bangkok) and the other half in Australia – just wondering if there are any other forum members doing this?

Apart from this forum is there a club where farangs meet/ network.

Apreciate any tis and/or pitfalls we need to be aware of with living in Thailand.
