Which country is the best for retirement: Thailand, Vietnam, or Cambodia?

@Stephen *******

you will love it

Jeff Fouble yes I have retirement visa

Jeff Fouble yes, you can get a retirement visa yearly! Very easy!

BC AY you'll feel right at home in that case haha

John Cryer lol what “charts” are these?

@Bill ********

Mate everyone to their own, it depends what your after in your stage of life. I totally agree with you Hau Hin could be boring for some and great for others . Believe me there’s lots of Gods Waiting rooms around the world. Cheers

Ste Lacey I did the new taxation nonsense, really put me off. Apart from the 3 cheating ex wives plus one more tbat did not cheat.

Christian Bourget Precisely right, my feelings exactly.

Christian Bourget the 90 day reporting makes it annoying. The amount of documents and ever changing requirements are annoying.

Also visa requires mandatory health insurance which Thai insurance companies refuse to sell to people over a certain age. At which time you will be refused a visa. Already happened to some people I know or knew before they died.

I lived there for more than half my life. I am glad to be out of there at the moment.

If you want to live in a place with wall to wall sleaze and deception where everything is about how much money you have, without any concern about who you are or your feelings then have fun while it lasts.

If you value real sincere frienship not based around money then try Laos or Malaysia. While Laos has no retirement visa it is still very easy to get a one year visa. Once you have it you have a whole year without having to report to anyone.

Sorry for the rant, but I and people I have known, have been lied to, and scammed out of everything, too many times.

Then there are other places I have never had a problem.

Christian Bourget I suggest a person do a little home work, choose a province in one country that resonate with their life style. Go for a week or 2 for a feel of it. Then save up and plan for another trip in another year/6 month to a different country and do the same. Retiring is important and rushing through will cause a bigger mistake by just listening to opinions of others who have different life style or life experiences.

Will Casa 50 years or older retirement Visa 800,000 THB in a fixed Thailand bank account.Non immigrate O Visa does not require health insurance. It is renewed annually for 1,900 THB.

JJ O Connor, the post asked the question which is the best. Kudos to Cambodia for improving Their health care that's true but their light years behind Thailand. Vietnam is improving much more quickly than Cambodia. As to the criminal element there are plenty in all three countries but anybody debating that Cambodia does not have the worst criminal elements of the three countries is kidding themselves it has nothing to do with Hatfield and McCoy LOL the Chinese scammers that are running compounds in Cambodia have more than 100,000 poor souls that have been abducted and are forced to scam people. They have a huge criminal infrastructure they have bought entire hotels and filled them with these unfortunate people .Don't be in denial, please. We have traveled to Cambodia and yes, I loved my time in Siem Reap. However a healthcare system that is improving will not help you when a serious healthcare issue arises.

Christian Bourget Stop playing the tough guy when you're a cvn† in reality. And a leftie who cries in his homecountry but has minimum rights in Vietnam compared to it, so factually a double cvn†.

Now, Vietnam has more infrastructure? Lmao you're funny, you tourist.

Healthier food? Not really, and not everywhere. Because hard to find : not fried food, sidedishes with no rice, roasted chicken or duck at good prices, already boiled eggs, organic shops where to buy good oils and other stuff (more stuff on Shopee), diversity of restaurants except in big cities...etc

Ok soups generally have less sugar.

Cheaper ? Globally yes, but not really if you want the healthy food I mentioned before.

Then, more thieves, more scams, more aggressive people, more reckless driving, more tr4sh on sidewalks and in countryside...

But it's easier to make friends than in Thailand if you don't speak the language

Christian Bourget your experience in Vietnam does not dictate that Vietnam is suitable, Thailand has cheap food clean infrastructure just like Vietnam you just choose to be bias because you think your experience in Vietnam is the standard

Christian Bourget the only reason I would see you going to Thailand would be to be trained in Muay Thai. Looks like you would be really good with your skills.

Christian Bourget

Christian Bourget we preferred to travel on our timeline not a government enforced timeline. We to have been to Europe, America, Latin America, and all throughout Asia. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Vietnam is cleaner and has a better infrastructure. Glad you like it better we like to travel there but the trash and rubbish on the streets and thrown into the rivers flowing out to the Sea really bothers us. And so does the smoking and the little tiny chairs LOL. As to the food healthy choices are available just about every country it's up to you. Enjoy your government imposed Exile every 90 days....
