THE EIGHT BEST RETIREMENT LOCATIONS IN THAILAND Thailand is one of the most popular countries to live in for retirees and expats from all around the world, and there are plenty of reasons why that is so. For pennies in the pound, you get low-cost living where your income or pension will stretch much further, a tropical climate, beautiful palm-fringed islands, friendly smiling people, inexpensive housing and affordable high-quality medical care. A country where Buddhist monks, golden beaches, palm trees, monkeys and elephants become part of your everyday life. The problem with Thailand is you're spoilt for choice. So where do you start to look for the best place to live or to spend your golden years? The book is a comprehensive look at eight towns that I consider to be the best areas for expats to live in Thailand. Of course, where you may want to live in this fascinating and diverse country will depend on your outlook on life, hobbies and the lifestyle that you want to achieve in your new country and many more towns might tick the boxes for where you may want to live These are just my personal favourites, places that I have either lived in or spent a considerable amount of time in. My eight favourite places for retirees in Thailand in no particular order are: • Chiang Mai • Koh Samui • Bangkok • Phuket • Hua Hin • Krabi • Chiang Rai • Pattaya
