Hopefully you have your residency visa arranged before you get here, it can save you stress and possibly a lot of money

Please look at this peaceful island, Koh Mak. We came 18yrs ago for a short stay, fell in love with the laid back lifestyle stay 6months of the year now, English winters

The island is fairly flat for walking. Has beautiful beaches, fast Internet, good restaurants and bars(not girlie bars), no sleezzy nightlife. send me DM if you want more info, my wife or myself will help you

Go to Pucket, plenty of retired women there
Before you go to Thailand, can I suggest that you use Googl Earth and go down to street level in any city and any place, that would give you an idea where you are going to.
One thing I can tell you, prepare for extreme heat and humidity, if you want to know more message me privately.
