I am over 50 now, waiting until my daughter's age off my company health insurance. I have traveled around Thailand a little, and being a pretty quiet person as well as a soon to be retired person I am looking at the suburbs/outskirts of Bangkok for the first year and possibly doing a Ed visa and language school. Not out of need, but going from a 40 hr workweek to nothing and being somewhere new at the same time may be a little much. Having the structure and schedule of classes would suit me well.
Thank you Ruth, and others. I can patch things together and have done searches on my short time in the group, just trying to learn from the experiences. I know Thai processes can vary, and are fluid, but from the thread so far starting with a longer initial entry is always a good plan
