I live in the UK and have been married to a Chinese lady born in Malaysia for the past 43 years. During that time I have visited her country numerous times. We bought an apartment in Melaka West Malaysia 20 years ago for our eventual retirement. This October will be the month we make it happen. We are now both in our seventies. We have no rent or mortgage payments. We either eat local or buy ingredients at the market and cook our own food. We never eat at western restaurants. During our last trip we spent on average GBP500 per month between us. Bus and train fares are inexpensive. Beautiful country, lovely friendly people and the best thing for us, you feel safe walking the streets at night. Where our condo (apartment) is located there are rentals for only $250 per month. That is for a 3 bed 2 bath condo, sauna, gym, swimming pool and 24 hour security. Based on my knowledge of the country you can live comfortably on $1000 to $1500 per month.

3:58 It's just a no brainer for me to be overseas in my retirement. It's saving me so much money, and it's giving me a chance to do something other than just kind of sit around, and watch television in my retirement." - Retire and Go 2024. "I've got a little black book with my poems in. Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in. When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in. I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on. Got those swollen hand blues. Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from. I've got electric light. And I've got second sight. And amazing powers of observation. And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home." -Pink Floyd 1979. Words can be very powerful.

I thought that the taxis at the Airport (Taxi Stands) all used the meter? In my experience.....the taxis are cheap (well, much cheaper v in the west). Also.....personally, I TRUST the meter. More than, an "off meter driver". LOL.....at least a metered taxi driver won't (or will have less of a chance to) be cheating the Govt (King) out of their tax money. Anyway, I usually use the Airport Transport Train. I get off at the nearest station. Then, get a taxi to the hotel. But then, on my first trip to BKK....I got a hotel that was within walking distance to the Airport Transport line. The hotel wasn't all that great. But, "Live and learn". And......I can also remember a time when (after checking in) I made arrangements at the hotel to have their driver/shuttle take me to the airport on the day that I was leaving. IIRC.....it was cheaper than a Taxi or Grab Driver. Plus......he might have been a relative. LOL.

I agree 100% about the cost. Right now, we're finishing up seven weeks in Indonesia. For us, I guess we're spending less than $2000 a month. BTW, you might want to check out Taiwan.

A vehicle in North America is not $500 a month, way more. $200-$300 for gas, $100 or more for insurance, maintenance $100+++?? Depreciation $300+++??? More like $800 a month for a vehicle. You are not only saving money in SE Asia, you are living a more interesting life, North America really has no culture, unless you include sports and alcohol, I do not consider that "rich culture"., when in Thailand we experience very rich culture. Healthier food in restaurants, in North America the food is toxic in restaurants, and extremely expensive, we are so close to pulling the plug here in Canada, we need to sell our home and setup our investment portfolio, become non residents for tax purposes (no ore high Canadian taxes). Hopefully by next year we are travelling full time, based in Thailand

I sold my truck in the USA. If you calculate the cost for the vehicle, insurance, maintenance, licensing,taxes, fuel, you are definitely $600-$800/month. It’s a burden to own and a weight lifted when you don’t have one. You can almost live in se Asia for what it costs to own a vehicle in the USA

Visa exemption will not be implemented until late June or July as of right now. All of the Thailand YT news channels jumped the gun trying to be the first to report something that wasn't even in affect. Then they got mad for calling them out for reporting unverified information when Thailand is notorious for delaying or scraping rules. It's possible that they won't even implement it.

@@RetireandGo I spent some time in Hua Hin, nice place but just didnt have the condos Pattaya area has nor places to walk etc. I need places to walk where I dont have to have eyes in the back of my head. Havent been to Chiang Mai yet and Im sure its great too (not really into rice and noodle dishes anymore on a strict diet), but overall bang for your buck (in more ways than one) keeps me coming back to Chonburi. I hardly go into central Pattaya, not my thing, but Pratumnak and Jomtien keeps me occupied for 4 months or so and then I gotta go (Europe)! 3 or 4 months later cant wait to get back. Its just easy and very predictable. I had a hernia operation at Jomtien hospital recently, I havent spent much time in hospitals but I will never go back to USA again for a hospital visit especially in Florida ever again.
