Get Real Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 That was actually one of the worst Vlogs I´ve ever seen. Just another man that looks silly on Internet just for some clicks and a couple of bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timber Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Everyone has their unique likes and dislikes, pretty arrogant to decide what is better for some one else. "In my opinion, South Central Coast." Pra Chub to Luang Suan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Simple answer, don't retire here permanently, have an escape plan and don't put your eggs in one basket ! Way I see it, come here in retirement, live an enjoyable time while your able, go home when very old. Health care for the old sucks - unless you want to OD in your wheelchair, jump off a tall building or bloat out when having a heart attack and not found for days.

Health care for the old sucks - unless you want to OD in your wheelchair, jump off a tall building or bloat out when having a heart attack and not found for days. There is plenty of affordable aged care here if you know where to look. From a full-time ex-nurse carer for 10,000 baht a month, up to 90,000 baht/month for all-found luxury nursing home care. Every September, the Thai government compulsorily retires any nurse in a public hospital who is over 45. They are all then looking for work in aged care, as their pensions are a pittance. If health care for the old sucks here, it sucks even worse in Australia. Ripoffs galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerkinsCuthbert Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Oh, Hua Hin without a doubt! There, the world in Thailand meets oceans of like-minded retiring, illiterate vloggers, more to write incoherent rubbish. Isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to do it over again, and if I retired somewhere else, I would probably run into different problems, that I am not aware of now. And the same is true for the good sides of Thailand.

bushdoctor Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 As usual there are a lot of negative comments here. I couldn’t care less really but just want to point out that the blogger didn’t name it one of the world’s best places to retire, it was CNN Money as he stated at the beginning of the vlog. Also titles are purposely kept short. This title is a little awkward and may confuse some people, but it is actually correct. What Thailand region is (named by CNN as) best place in world to retire? Chill out peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
