Hi All,

We are looking at retiring in Phuket as the winters are getting too cold over here,,, From what I have been reading there are a lot of over 60 single retiree's but not much talk about there wifes,, Also what are the expat clubs like , Or are there any??

Any info will help with our decision,, Thanks

There is an English speaking Rotary which meets every week in Patong, the International Business Association of Phuket (IBAP) which meets once a month is beneficial in terms of networking, both business & social, plus information on living &/or doing business here. Plenty of wives of all ages can be found at the Phuket International Womens Club plus there is another farang ladies club but the name escapes me just now. All of these clubs & others do very commendable community service & charitable works. There are also numerous golf & sailing clubs to meet & mingle. Also plenty of nice bakery, cofee shops, restaurants to meet like minded people.

A couple I know, in your age group, who own a home here but only visit once a month or so, organised there own social group by having some small parties where more people got to know each other.
