Why do you choose Bangkok to retire?
Spouse and I have a Pattaya house and a Bangkok condo. We like visiting Bangkok and staying for short periods but we prefer Pattaya for year-round living. In Pattaya we can afford to own a 4-bedroom pool villa, all on one floor. Two car garage with electric charger. Fairly large land plot. Something like that in Bangkok would cost much more. We like having a large space to live in with a nice pool, a home gym, and guest bedrooms for visits by family members. Pattaya offers a wide variety of housing at all price points, in a number of different neighborhoods, so there is a lot to choose from, either to rent or buy. From our home location, we can be at all the major shopping, movie theaters, and several different hospitals in 15 minutes or less, with an easy drive to them. Bangkok is more of a chore to get around in. Traffic is much worse than Pattaya. We do take the subway most of the time but it's crowded--and getting more crowded--and it limits what you can carry back with you, such as groceries. Pattaya works very well for us with our everyday living. As we grow older, this will continue to be the case and we have space in our home for live-in care should we ever need it. If we were 20 years younger we might be doing the reverse--living in Bangkok with a Pattaya getaway condo. But, for us at our retirement ages, Pattaya is the better fit. -

Why can't they recognise they have an unfair advantage and have the decency not to compete in womens sports - or is that what it is really about? -
