Summary so far
The poster seeks a comprehensive service to assist with various retirement-related needs in Thailand, including immigration advice, setting up a bank account, apartment rentals, and healthcare services. Comments reflect a mix of skepticism about finding a single agent for all requests, along with suggestions for handling services independently and criticisms of the poster's perceived laziness and entitlement.

OP174 replies. prolly only four good ones. The rest being insults…. Some people like me suffer from OCD. Two tours in Aghranistan will do that to you. All i am saying it is good to have most of these requirements 75% settled before moving into a new country thousands of miles away. For example, have five apartments based on my criteria lined up for me so I can select the best suitable one , sign contract and move in the second day. Same with Bank. i suffer from existing medical conditions. Good to set up an appointment in advance with top medical specialist in BKK so i can safely transition to new environment, air quality, diet, etc. Ain’t asking for the moon delivery!

ok man I get it now. I probably wrote something awful too. My apologies. But here’s the thing. I just read your post again. Do you mind if I share something with you? It would have been good if you had explained a little bit of this. Many people write rather arrogant posts and they end up with unsuitable replies. Yours may have come across not as you intended. And we had no guidance. Now my mother would probably tell me that’s no excuse. But I honestly think it is how it happened. So here is some help. Cell phone. Make sure your phone is unlocked. Go to a True shop in most supermarket malls. Ask for the 200b/ month rate. It s plus 7% VAT tax. $6 a month unlimited internet and phone. There’s a limit then it slows down. It’s a lot. I have no idea how much. The point is you will use WiFi most of the time. I have never been throttled. Anyone who is throttled is too lazy to ask for the password in any restaurant etc. So $6 a month yiu can’t beat that. Well you can 1300b a year from Lazada. But it means a new SIM card and phone number annually. That’s a pain. Agent. Call me. I’m not posting here. Cheers.

It so upsets me. I’m an immigrant. I have two passports. Britain is the same though. Politicians are all useless. When I was a kid my Dad flew the Atlantic every 3 months when no one flew the Atlantic. He’d come back with all kinds of American high tech toys. Remote control car - wire not radio of course. Fantastic. His friends were Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans bought me fantastic things Dems did too but not as good. 😝 You dialed 0 and an operator answered instantly. Real American too. Helpful. Now politicians say the most dreadful things about immigrants. Legal ones too. Not that I give a damn. If anyone did it to me I’d be right in their face for being a low life piece of illiterate innumerate scum. So I dunno man. I see the Chinese won’t buy our chips for their government projects. The truth is they don’t need to. Why? Because we taught them how to make the super high tech stuff. We are idiots. Complete idiots. Have as nice day as Americans say. And don’t mean. 😂Gordon *******

What you see in this comment section is what Thailand will become if you keep letting Americans into the country. Left or right, they'll turn this country into an identity-politics sh*tshow just like the awful place they're all trying to leave. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world. Import toxic American idiots, become a land of toxic idiots.

Let me get this straight, you want a single agency to a) handle all visa and immigration stuff, b) open a bank account, c) find you somewhere to live, d) buy you a phone and sim, e) source a cook and a nurse, f) find you a doctor and pharmacist and they must reside in Bangkok. Dude, Bring all your money and we can even find someone to live your life for you 🕶
Mike *****
Just go to Bangkok, ask advice from fellow foreigners, google expat visa services and you probably need to split visa services for visa, bank account, DL, etc and real estate agent for accomodations but you'll have better choices by contacting multiple real estate offices.

Are you incapacitated in any way? Most of that stuff is very easy to do on your own.
But anyway...
You may need to go to several different sources for most of that. There is food EVERYWHERE in Thailand, so there is no need to cook or be cooked for. And there is delivery everywhere.
As far as getting a phone, just go to the mall, buy a phone of your choice, and they will set the SIM and everything up for you. There are pharmacies everywhere too. Not sure why you would need to be set up for that. As for Doctors, just go to one of the hospitals (Like Bangkok Hospital) and register.
You say you are lazy. This is something I do not understand.

OPMy my! All of that hate. Thanks for those who replied to me including the Moderator. For the rest, may God forgive you. I was reading a report issued by the Governor of BKK yesterday. He was saying that living in BKK with its air pollution is equivalent to smoking 1,400 cigarettes per year. Today, the US east coast hit 95 F first time this year. People were literally hatin their lives. Then I remembered in BKK, 95F or 35C is considered mild.

liberals creating a divided world Trump is the most dividing, hating, blaming others for his failures, denying his crimes, abusing women, not fullfilling his promises In short a very narcistic sociopath. And yoh want him to further destroy the HS and deliver all the strategic secrets to the ennemies of the US. So he can be friends with Putin and in love with Kim Yung Un. Veterans called losers, takin away their benefits etc. Thank you. But no thank you. In 232 year US hasbuild a reputation, thanks to the constitution. Thanks to helping the Allies win WWII, Europe and other democracies enabled the US to become the most powerfull country ever in history. 80 yeats ago no company of the US was on the top 20, now between 6 and 13 companies rule the top 20 list and they are US. Liberals like Steve Jobs, created a new future, we changed the world to a better place. Politicians like JFK, Obama, Biden make America the most wanted place to be for billions of people, thanks to liberal policies. They make the US a great place, famous for chances to get a better life. Thanks to liberal strategies we kept the world safe from supremacy of autocrats, tyrants etc., no dictator was tolerated in the backyard of the US. Doing so we protected freedom of speech, democaratic elections, justice for all, education for all, equality if possible. If Republicans support Trump, you will get policies that destroy womens rights, cancel social laws, torpedo Obama care, take away benefits for the poor, veterans, disabled people. Corruption and bribary will become common. Stealing government money etc. etc. US will become an unreliable partner in NATO, will be isolated and no longer the superpower it is now.

There's no "one more time" as you've never submitted a post to this group. This is the first time.
You're not going to find one place that offers everything you've listed.
You can find one agent that can do 1&2 together.
If you're worried about everything else and "too lazy" then find a full-time housekeeper that can help arrange the rest. Though I'm not sure why you would want to trust your health and doctors to a stranger.
