Should I move to Nha Trang?

[rudi49jr]

I was originally planning to move to Koh Chang (Thailand) when I retire at the end of this year, but after monitoring the air quality there for the last few months (which was mostly not good) I’ve been having second thoughts.

 

So now I’m exploring other options, one of which is Nha Trang. The air quality, for starters, seems to be a lot better there than in most of Thailand. Now I would like to know a few things about living in Nha Trang.

 

* What kind of visa would I need? I am Dutch, by the way.

* What’s the cost of living? I’m single, not much of a drinker or party-goer or anything like that. A one or two bedroom apartment would be quite okay for me, doesn’t have to be centrally located.

* Is there a good hospital in Nha Trang? 
* Is health insurance compulsive? Or recommended? 
* Are there any good supermarkets in Nha Trang that sell western food, like peanut butter, pasta, stuff like that?

 

I’m just trying to gather as much information as possible, so anything you can offer will be very welcome.

 

Thanks!

There are several websites that report the air quality of places all over the world, including Koh Chang.
