You can both retire to Thailand and stay permanantly if you have B800,000 in a Thai bank account. Forget about working

You will not get a job, there are plenty of Thai welders,

but you could keep your hand in creating art works in metal?

welcome!

Note that it is very easy to set up business here. I don't know how knowledgeable you are in welding, but you might try something in proffesional welding. You cannot weld yourself, but as a director of a company, you can direct young thai minds and hands to learn the art of good welding.

a lot of thai companies offer welding, a few are delivering high standard work...

do some research here, and maybe you can give it a try...

good luck!

You could form a Thai Limited Company and own it as a foreigner 100% if this company manufactures and exports. How bout if you used your skills as a welder by training Thais, and at the same time using the much cheaper labor than in the EU?
