CAN YOU LIVE ON YOUR STATE PENSION IN THAILAND? AND OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING THE MOVE?
A question that I am often asked on this channel is, can you survive and live a good life in Thailand on your state pension, and is it easy to transition from living in a Western country to living in an Asian country like Thailand? Different people have different ideas of how they want to live their lives, and most can adapt to living here, but unfortunately, not everyone finds happiness by moving to a new country to live. I wrote a book a few years ago,” The Retire in Thailand Handbook…The First Six Months. I spoke to many expats who had decided to move to Thailand. The most compelling reasons were the cost of living, wanting to have a relationship with a Thai lady (or ladyboy), and the climate. On the downside, some of them had problems settling here, such as missing friends and family and the culture shock of living in a Southeast Asian country.
