Is $2,800 USD per month enough for a couple to retire comfortably in Chiang Mai, Thailand?

Andrew ***********

I would say thats pretty much ok. As long as your lifestyle is pretty relaxed. If you adapt to eating a lot of Thai food, your expenses will be a lot lower.

Can you apply for a retirement visa in Thailand without having 800,000 baht?

Joe Gerardi That's a load of crap. I'd rather get interest on the 800k in a foreign bank. That's why I use an agent. It's not expensive to live here at all. All depends on your lifestyle.
