ORIGINAL POSTER

Thanks for accepting me to the group firstly. 

I want to retire in Thailand this year. I have the income I’m over 50. 

Where do I start. Is just easier to pay a company and let them sort it out or do it your self. 

Ps. I’m not the greatest when dealing with paperwork and forms. 

    Thanks in advance. 

           Steve.
