Go to Da nang n pho quoc in vietnam before u decide where to retire.its cheaper to live in Vietnam however u will come across issues with transport food currency n language barriers in Vietnam compared to thailand.Both r great places to retire.

go online n apply the TDAC arrival card it's free just to be safe.

Make sure u got $800,000 baht to show the immigration to be deposited in a thai bank

Don't move it.The thai banks r freezing foreigners wire money transfer

I do lots of travel n its a fact every Airline wants to see a return flight outbound at the check in counter n very rarely immigration will ask u but definitely u can be denied boarding without a return ticket.i lost lots of money trying to extend my stay canceling my return ticket n rebooking again.no refunds when u cancel your return ticket

@John *******

wait n see .gd luck. When u go bck home broke

No money no honey.thai woman only love your money n not u

Hve fun while u r there

Why did u not use the western union transfer n u could hve avoided all these problem

I carry 2 phones in thailand.my American phone i use the wi fi at the local hotels n use my old phone with a 7-11 Sim card I purchase n get a thai local no.This way I still get my overseas messages n n the thai tel no to speak to the locals in thailand

If your wife is working she can support u till u get a job
