Myself, yea, inexpensive health, since I self insure, and way ahead on that curve. Actually taxes, are almost enough to keep me in TH. I would own a house, and taxes alone would almost finance me living in TH. Income taxes aren't a problem for me, as I don't generate any taxable income. RE Taxes on my house, would be about $10+k = ฿325K, as just searched. I can easily live on that here in TH. I lived on less than that in 2024 here/TH. Now the long winded part ... Electric, water & sewage is silly prices. BEV are substandard and expensive & no CS network, unless buying a Tesla, unless allowed to charge at Tesla. Solar cost 3X as much. I wouldn't be nearly as comfy living there. I sure wouldn't be walking or cycling distance from a beautiful bay, as we are now. Dumpy hotel cost $100 a night, and camping cost about the same as an OK hotel here. National Parks are almost free, for seniors, so big plus there. And USA hotel wouldn't have a mountain or sea view. TBH, wouldn't live in that house, but, would have to buy land, and one of those capsule houses, as a base. Maybe 2 Tesla house put together and all the others, added up, would use a good part of our oops & her retirement fund. O&A would be at National Parks, so I could have fun living there, and wouldn't be hell. Just not as comfy as here. I would welcome the change of season. After I crap out, what would the wife do, not knowing anyone over there, as I wouldn't live where my brothers are, 2 older than me, one just 5 yrs younger, so 2 may be dead also. Our daughter is here, and not going anywhere for 20 yrs, at least. Of course it would be different if I had stayed in the USA, as would have 4 rental units, and me living free in the 5th. That's if I did nothing the past 25 yrs to generate more income. If I needed money, just do stock trade every now & then. Although if I never left, I'd probably have about 10 more house for income.
