The one mistake that quietly destroys thousands of expat retirements
Thousands of people dream of retiring in Thailand, but very few think about what happens when they can no longer live independently. In this documentary, we explore the hidden reality of Thailand retirement, expat life in Thailand, healthcare, aging abroad, and the challenges older expats may face as they grow older in Southeast Asia.

From living alone in Thailand to planning for medical emergencies, we explore the issues that can shape the second half of retirement.
