Gknrd Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 And since Thailand has made the decision to boot the westerners it is loosing out. Baby boomers are the richest retirees in the world.. What ever idiot is in charge of Thai decisions should be drummed out of the country. Luckily Mexico is lapping up the billions in retirement dollars the boomers have accumulated... Thailands will pick up the mega rich Indians, and Chinese... Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SymS Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) I'm surprised at how the Thai SET reacts to all this turmoil. Hovering around 1,500- 1,600 for almost 10 years as if nothing happened, except for the dip at the beginning of the pandemic.

I agree. There are plenty of one year at a time options, available for many reasons. But none of them are assured for the probable duration of retirement or even a reasonable period that masquerades as one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelforbes Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) I'm very fortunate that I get half my income from Pounds and half from USD. They were identical amounts a few months ago, both paid in THB here in Thailand. Today the difference is around 7,000, as one increases in value, the other decreases by a similar amount but the total stays about the same....lucky lucky me.

Exactly what I said, there is no retirement visa here. Only a yearly extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
