Thank you, I will be using a lawyer when buying condo. So I will have that done as well.

As I said before at 77 a condo would better suit me. I probably have 10 maybe 15 years. After I die my kids can decide what to do with the condo. At least while I am alive, I won't have to keep moving around, and my rent will be paid, just CAM to deal with every month. No rent to keep going up. Its peace of mind. And will be easier to budget. I have never rented, so I don't want to start now. Being at the mercy of a landlord isn't comfortable for me. If something needs repair in condo, I get it fixed, instead of fighting with a landlord.

So is it better to buy house??

Thats my thought. Just buy it, and don't have to budget for it every month. Only CAM, which is low.. I am 77. So lets say 10 maybe 15 years, I only pay CAM, and if need be repairs. My children can decide what to do with it after I am gone. At least I won't have to live with them. lol I don't want my children taking care of me. I have watched that to many times with others. If I would have to get in house care, the second bedroom would come in handy for a nurse or care giver. I would have my lawyer check it out before I bought. To make sure there are no back bills from seller. Thank you

I see, its for her.

Last question. Do they know you are living in Thailand and not just visiting? Do you live full time in Thailand, or do you go back and forth? If so, I will look to them for insurance.

I am 77, I plan on dropping my US Medicare when I move there. I do not plan on coming back, period. If I should return for some reason, I was told I would have to wait for next enrollment period the end of the year. Never mentioned a penalty. I want to be cremated, so I plan to go back in an envelope. That gives me $200.00 to put toward my insurance in Thailand.
