Great information Russell! I will be flying to Thailand to visit a former Army boss in Mukdahan for a few weeks. Then, in August, I will attend a TEFL school on Phuket. I live in Michigan after retiring from the Army – bad economy, boring jobs – Thailand sounds pretty good right now! I just hope the TEFL school goes well.

Russel, thanks for the video. I also have been to many place, and now believe Thailand is the place for me. Of all countries I’ve been to, it reminds me most of my home country, Canada, friendly people, relaxed, nice place…however, Thailand seems better.
I now live in California, work in computers, so maybe I can do as you, work in Thailand, all I need is a phone line and an internet connection.

[...] Good place(s) to retire in Thailand? Author: thailandretire | Category: retire in thailand Skipper asked: OK, so my plans to retire this coming December have to be put on hold for about 10 months. I’m kewl wit dat…but I’m still coming to Thailand Dec 11, for two or three months, depending on how well I work this visa thing. So, I’m going to check out Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nong Khai, and Krabi, as potential locations to settle down. I thought about Hua Hin but don’t think I can afford to live there. I’ve also ruled out Bkk and Pattaya. Are there any other good towns, where an expat living on about $1800 a month, should check out? Please spare me the “sounds like a dismal life” crap-ola.
