What is Thailand's perspective on foreigners (farang) retiring and receiving care in the country?

I'm too interested in riding my motorbike at 76 to be bothered about getting old 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nursing homes are wonderful according to Thailand Post

Think those thoughts slip to the mind of us elderly.

Well, no experience yet fortunately, and also my thoughts cannot be for "whole Thailand" but it's also a question "what do you need". I think/hope y'r partner would take care of some basic things, like cooking, cleaning (house), washing etc. and maybe even go to immigration when needed. If that is difficult because e.g. partner is working, then I would ask someone to do those basic things. Think you can have someone for a couple of hours per day for 300-500฿ a day ? So then there is some money involved per month (about 12,000-14,000฿ a month ? Depending where you live, this is already a nice salary for many who e.g. work in a factory). But....you have to be able to afford it of course. And, as already mentioned, there are elderly/ nursery homes but they cost a lot and not so many of us can pay that.

If you are getting mental issues, then it's getting serious. I think, if there is a bit of 'thinking' left, I would not like to live anymore, but euthanasia is officially not allowed over here. So that part I don't know how I would handle that.

Those are just my thoughts a bit. But you never really know how you react when the problem is really there.

Ofcourse as already mentioned 'money talks' so if you have enough, the problems most of the time, are a bit more easy.

Growing industry as long as you have social needs not medical.

Growing industry.

As long as you have got a shitload of money no one cares

Hello Jack, I propose considering Koh Samui as a promising location. I am evaluating the feasibility of establishing a caregiver business in Koh Samui, utilizing my expertise in the field. If you require assistance or guidance, please contact me. I am scheduled to return to Thailand in November, at which point I will consult with a Bangkok attorney to navigate legal challenges. If successful, I plan to acquire a property in Koh Samui. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and potentially establish a professional connection, offering caregiving expertise marked by kindness and empathy. Please feel free to connect if you are interested in exploring further. 🙏

I have seen some facilities set up for foreigners. Looks like you would receive a much higher standard of care due to low staff costs. Of course the downside is you may be far from family and friends unless they are in Thailand already.

I know in Phuket have nursery homes, like we call in Belgium "service flats" or "residential care center" at much cheaper prices and more service ( have more staff and time to take care of you )

Ya. There are quite a few care homes here. I'm actually thinking of starting one haha. Do some research though before you commit. Not sure where your from. But you can get great care for easily half the price as in the US.

If you have the money to pay for your care, no one will have any issues. There are even some nursing homes aimed at foreigners.
