100,000 baht a month. You really think that will be enough. In 20 years with inflation it will be more like 60,000. I couldn't do it the rest of my life on so little.
I sold everything. Put it into a retirement fund. Makes between 5 to 6 percent. And will be there if I ever have to purchase again. And the day will come when I say I'm not going back and I can draw from it.
Thai woman can detect the stupid ones. They are very good at it . You will be fleased of your money for the next 5 years or until it's all gone . What ever comes first.
My last driver license was connected to my daughter's address in Colorado. She informed me that I got a jury duty letter. There was an email address I could contact. So I sent and email to that person working in that particular court house. I explained that I have been gone the past 4 years retired in Thailand. Attached a few photos of me on the beach showing some thai writing. She replied no problem and took me off their list.
IRC are good tires. Non of us are racing in the moto GP with our scooters so anything more expensive than IRC is just over kill. I had 3 sets on 2 different bikes and haven't noticed any difference between the more expensive ones.

Sold everything in 2 months. My life is amassed in 2 Tupperware plastic totes in my daughter's house. If I need to go back I can just buy another house, car and everything else. The real question is do I really want to go back?
