TLDR : Answer Summary
The post asks for beginner resources about the visa process for relocating to Thailand. Several users suggest visiting specific websites, including thaievisa.go.th for visa options, and cnxlocal.com for articles related to expats. They also recommend gathering more personal information to refine advice and engaging in additional research or comparisons to decide if Thailand is the right country for relocation.

I would begin by deciding if Thailand is actually the place you want to spend your retirement. Understanding the visa process/requirements is a bit pointless until you have made your decision. Suffice to say you can get a visa to retire in Thailand easily and it's not expensive. I would make a list of potential countries and list everything that is important to you, then compare.
