Think about this carefully. I have met several people who were gung ho about living fulltime in the "Paradise" called Thailand. Even knew 2 people who sold their homes and one his business and home to move here. Several regretted it. Some couldn't handle the weather. For others it was to much of a culture shock and they couldn't assimilate. One even moved here who didn't like Thai food and hated all seafood. He didn't do to well with him blowing his monthly budget on eating Western food every day. Also it's not all drinking and girls every night. A lot of guys have this fantasy of living here on $1,000 a month or have a small pension and they couldn't control themselves and all the money went to girls. When the money runs out it can get pretty scary here. Best thing is to maybe come here for 6 months or a year and see if you like it.

This is such a general question. You can use it for literally women from any country and whatever the answer is it still wouldn't be true. Why don't you be more specific.

You are 74 years old and you want to move in a few years. Either move now or it's a pipedream.

Money is adequate if you stay away from bars but keep in mind if you start dating or get married you will find it may not be enough.

I bought a phone in Bangkok at AIS that has 2 sim chips. I was able to keep my USA number with google Voice and have a Thai number all in one phone. I have an Oppo Real Find X Cell Phone.

Married to a sex worker. Congrats to you. Not my thing.

That street is as bad as walking into the back alleys of Tijuana Mexico. It just smells of STD's.

That's only because it's substantially cheaper for you to live in Thailand. I think for most people if the cost of everything was the same in Thailand as it is in the United States that people would much rather live in the United States. Take away the sex tourism of Thailand and I think a lot of people would stop going there.

I love Thailand and I love living here but if the cost were the same as the United States I will 100% stay in the United States

She is missing a lot depending on where you are going. Who doesn't want to see las Vegas or Disneyland if they have never been? Taking a trip on the Pacific Coast Highway. So much to do in the states. The way you felt your first time in Thailand may have been magical and that is what she would feel going to the US for the first time.

My social security is $3,700 a month. This isn't really going to affect me much.
