Description
The Retire in Thailand Handbook 2023...The Next Six Years, is a follow-up to the original book that I wrote and published in 2018 about living or retiring in Thailand, The Retire in Thailand Handbook...The First Six Months. This book is an updated version because so much has changed since covid arrived in 2020 and devastated the country's economy and tourism industry. The updated book covers the six years that I have lived here and guides the reader through the procedures and protocols of establishing oneself in The Land of Smiles. My first six months in Thailand were frustrating. When I dreamt about retiring in Thailand, I thought that when I arrived, I would get my retirement visa, rent a condo, buy a vehicle, and then spend my time exploring my new country, going to the beach, going out for meals and meeting new friends. Unfortunately, reality took over and I spent most of my time dealing with Thai bureaucracy and trying to sort out the endless problems that arise when moving to a new country. Back in Australia, I already had a visa, my own house, my own car, medical insurance, driving license, bank accounts, credit rating, doctor and dentist. Moving to another country, I was more or less starting my life over and I needed to establish myself within the Thai system. The 2023 version of the book is filled with updated cost comparison charts, helpful tips on living here and the best areas to live or retire in Thailand as an ex-pat.
