    Many here mention using agents. But what if one lives far away from anywhere an agent operates? I'd guess most of them can work with anybody by exchanging paperwork via EMS, but wouldn't you have to temporarily change your address to BKK or Pattaya or whatever for that to be possible? Then you'd have to report a change of address back to original residence, etc. Sounds slightly messy.

    For an easy 20k they can get the bus

    Hi

     

    Someone I know mentioned Mijas,Malaga area.

     

    Looks nice on line, outside bars/restaurants, I like an outdoor lifestyle and nice scenery,seems to have that.

    Love the wide pavements and it appears to be very clean.

    Very near the coast.

     

    No interest in discos/nightclubs any more, just a fairly quiet life with access to decent food and drink.( Internet access also important)

     

    Saw this walking tour video

     

     

     

    is it gods waiting room? didn't see anyone under 60

    I am crying. <deleted>, Plaid and strips, black socks and sandals on the beach? He covers the gambit of dressing greatness.

     

    As for the rest of the event. The first pic all the girls look the same for the most part and most have had serious work done.  Whatever works I suppose.

  4. This ?

     

    Cost of living in France is 52.28% higher than in Thailand   https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=France

     

    there are plenty of projects available in east europe and cost of living is less than Thailand

    eg first google search, new unfinished house on 2a Serbia..100sqm triple the size of a shoebox on the darkside for a fraction of the cost

    its becoming a bit of a game these elite threads, one a week, always similar style, anyway its a lot of money just to get a one year extension, and if a condo is sold for the same price as the purchase price, then moving the money out of the country will become a huge hurdle, try moving 500k out of the country, and you see what i mean

    Not if you buy your home currency here which of course is a far better exchange rate

    I have heard Rumania may be a good option.

    Planning myself to stay in Thailand, so only hearsay.

    Most of the East European countries are cheaper than Thailand with beautiful country sides and amazing architecture and the stunners are cheaper to rent  . Im Serbian so eventually will spend summers there and winters here. Cant comment on their retirement visas etc but wouldn't be hard to find out

    The politics of Vietnam would have no more effect on expat life than Thai politics have on expat life here. Both countries have some very weird rules and some very weird attitudes.

    Not you but many posts saying leaving Thailand over the last 5 years because of Junta and Prayut and go live in Vietnam like it's any better politically and in fact Their human rights record is Abysmal. Terrible infrastructure and having to go straight back to Bangkok for any medical procedure that requires more than a few stitches.
