Don’t Retire in Hua Hin or Jomtien Until You See These 3 Places

Thinking about retirement in Thailand but not convinced that Hua Hin or Jomtien is the right fit for you? In this video, I explore 3 of the best coastal alternatives to Hua Hin and Jomtien for retirees and expats looking for a different lifestyle in Thailand: Rayong, Bang Saray, and Cha-am. If you’re researching where to retire in Thailand, this video goes beyond beaches and holiday impressions. We talk about something far more important: daily life. Because retiring in Thailand isn’t about a 2-week vacation. It’s about ordinary life… your routine, convenience, healthcare access, walkability, social life, and how a place will work for you not just at 55 — but potentially at 75. In this video we cover: ✅ Which location offers the most peace and quiet ✅ Which area has the best convenience and infrastructure ✅ Walkability and day-to-day living ✅ Long-term aging considerations for retirees ✅ The real pros and cons of each location I also share my honest thoughts on why some places that feel amazing on holiday may not work well for long-term retirement. Many people ask me whether they should retire in Hua Hin, move to Pattaya/Jomtien, or consider lesser-known coastal towns instead. The truth is — there’s no perfect retirement destination in Thailand. Only trade-offs. Rayong may suit you if you want space and quiet. Bang Saray may suit you if you want balance and access to Pattaya. Cha-Am may suit you if long-term stability matters most. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. 📌 If you had to choose one for retirement in Thailand: Rayong, Bang Saray, or Cha-Am — which would you pick, and why?
