When it comes to retirement for those of us over 60 it would be great to see videos that focus in on the actual day to day life of retirees in these places or others. Focusing on mobility, health and medical services, paying cash instead of high insurance premiums, accessible amenities without needing a car, adjusting to climate and weather without getting worn out or being confined to air conditioning 24/7, social life of the older crowd, which most KZbinrs never talk about, etc. as well as the honest Pros and Cons, including issues about social and political stability, etc.

I live in Thailand. I lived in central Bangkok and did not own a car for 5 years. The public transportation is extensive and relatively inexpensive. I’m not sure what you mean by mobility but don’t expect Thailand to be wheelchair accessible. The healthcare is excellent, inexpensive and very accessible. I had no problems communicating in English. I do pay for catastrophic health insurance and pay for routine medical expenses in cash. Bangkok has pretty good cultural opportunities. There is the Bangkok Music & Dance festival in the fall featuring international dance companies. The Bangkok Symphony Orchestra just finished its concerts in the park series. There is a pretty lively art scene and then there are all the Thai festivals and dance. I eventually found a terrific group of mostly retired expats to socialize with at a restaurant/bar complex in central Bangkok. There are activity groups you can join. There are all kinds of people here. You have to expend a little effort but you will make friends easily. It is hot here. There is no getting around that. The condo building I lived in had a beautiful pool and I spent many afternoons there cooling off. Schedule social activities for the evenings. Wear appropriate hot weather clothing. Heat is just something you have to accept. I’ve been here since 2017. It has been very politically stable. The only government you have to concern yourself about is the Immigration Department.

@martypoll 2 ай бұрын
@@dovygoodguy1296 I bought a 10 million baht policy with a 40,000 baht deductible from Pacific Cross. I bought while in Thailand when I was 62. I am now 68. I’ve never spent as much as 40,000 baht for medical care. I recently spent 2 nights in a private hospital with Dengue fever and it came to 20,000 baht. If you buy into a new insurance company at a later age there are going to be exclusions for preexisting conditions. I have been pretty healthy in my old age but they won’t cover my kidney stones and probably not prostrate and cataracts. I have over $100,000 set aside for medical expenses that may not be covered by insurance. My current rate is 78,000 baht per year and that is with no-claim discounts. I needed health insurance for my previous OA visa and now for my current 10 year LTR visa.

Wow, Ubud Bali #1. That’s awesome. The traffic is absolutely horrible with scooters and vehicle congestion. The sidewalks are not user friendly for those disabled. They have parts of the walkway missing where you could fall into a big hole. You definitely need to be mobile and not disabled because they don’t have elevators in majority of buildings as well. You absolutely need insurance otherwise they will not see you in a hospital.

Hi guys. You haven't been to Puerto Morelos lately. Everything now is too expensive. Restaurants on sea side have USA prices. 2 years ago I have rented a condo en el Alborada for 10k pesos but this winter it was 15k. Same thing for Puerto Escondido which is not a hidden gem anymore. No more Mexico for me. Viva South East Asia.

I don't want to contradict you, however Bali is no longer the value it once was. I have had a place here for over 27 years. New restrictive and expensive visa policies have been implemented - staying or retiring here long term is not as feasible as it used to be. I'm looking forward to following your suggestions for Vietnam as I am coming to explore this week.

Congratulations on your 1000th video, what a milestone!!! You guys are a real inspiration to so many people. My wife and I are planning a scouting trip this June (Mexico/Costa Rica/Panama/Portugal/Spain) to find our retirement home after retiring at 60. We would love to travel to Southeast Asia, but not sure we could live there. The USA is just too expensive especially the healthcare. We're still trying to navigate healthcare abroad (I emailed Alex the healthcare broker in your video) and think we're just going to purchase in-patient coverage and pay out-of-pocket for out-patient care since it's relatively inexpensive in the countries we're looking at. Wishing you both the best.

@@Chris-dw6cu I like Nha Trang best of all in Vietnam. It's a tourist city with all the facilities you can wish for: beaches, restaurants, hot springs (Suoi Nuoc Nong Thap Ba is best), big English language reference collection in the provincial library, a good climate for ten months of the year, sea breezes during the day and mountain breezes at night, mountain streams (Suoi Da Giang). I stayed for twelve years until my daughter needed an education in Australia. I don't like big cities, so Hanoi and Saigon were out. Dalat for me was too cold, wet and miserable. Danang was too hot.

Thanks Dan, and congratulations on 1000 vids! I spent time in Queretaro and Puerto Morelos in ‘22 based on your recommendations. Loved the towns, people, food, etc., but the sargassum in PM definitely puts a damper on beach life. Question: as someone who is a “mosquito magnet†😢 would you suggest avoiding any of your listed places? Appreciate all you do for slow travelers.
@Daniel-pr4uk Ðй бұрын
Something that works for mosquitos is to eat a lot of fresh garlic and reduce sugar consumption. If you do, they won't be attracted to your blood.. Also, citronella essential oil (rubbed gently on the skin during dawn and dusk, when they are most active) keeps them away very effectively..

Watching this video for the second time. 😃 I am going to include our current city ( Quetzaltenango, aka Xela, Guatemala ) in your number 15 spot. Xela is the second largest city in Guatemala. Some advantages here are perfect cool weather at almost 8000 feet in elevation. Low 70s in the afternoon and 45-50 at night. We also don’t have to deal with throngs of tourists. There are 3 large modern malls and even a huge Walmart. We expected something similar to Nicaragua, but immediately you see that Guatemala is much more prosperous. We are spending about $1100-$1200/month without budgeting. We have a 3/1 house, 4 blocks from the main park, with a fantastic view. If someone likes cool temps and Mountain View’s, you should visit Xela.(Shay-La)

Even though I'm about 20 years from retirement age, I find myself pondering this question as the cost of living in the US is spiraling out of control. I was surprised that you recommended Koh Samui. We were there in early April and I was completely miserable for most of the visit. The heat is pretty bad, but the humidity is off the charts. And most places are not air conditioned, not even the airport! I also found the sand (at least on the northern part of the island) extremely coarse and unpleasant to walk on. That's why I'm about to check out your cool weather locations video haha.

I’ll have to swing by Koh Samui sometime to see if it can be my number third 😊 I haven’t been anywhere in Thailand that I haven’t enjoyed yet, so I’m sure that I will absolutely love it. 🙂ðŸ‘ðŸ»

If your an American, the best and cheapest place to retire is the Philippines, they speak english, have great food, great islands and beaches, the people are so friendly and easy to talk to. All the other places on your list would just be vacation destinations. Over all, if your american, head to the Philippines, no Hassel visa program and no visa runs, great medical services too.

Hey Dan, I was hoping to see the Dominican Republic in your top 15 destination. I go every year for the past 10 years. Will be moving to Samaná beach. I will first rent then buy a two bedroom apartment or even villa. I think the money goes a long way in the DR and its still cheap compare to the USA. Also, I find Samaná to be expats/tourist-friendly and very safe. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dan, I don't judge anyone else for their opinion or their decisions on this, but normally, I wouldn't buy a membership due to having a fairly low income, but your information and your pitch made sense to me. Most of the time, I avoid sales pitches like the plague, but I appreciate the fact that your information will likely save us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over the next couple of decades when we take the plunge and begin traveling. Our first stop will be the Visayans, in the Philippines, and for a while, at least will likely serve as our home base to wherever we desire to go next.

Tbilisi has a 1 year visa and allows visa runs at the end of the year. So far, each reentry allows another year from what I hear.

Wow! 1000th video that is some going, as its not like they're 5 minute videos. Surprised by Porto, not far from the UK for us. I think that we'd be tempted to do a bit of country hopping in South East Asia rather than the retirement visa for Thailand although it would be my primary choice as the wife is thai. Like you say, the government looking to tax your income might be less than helpful.

I’ve lived on this world for 73 years. I’ve traveled more than the average person and have made friends with people in many of the places I visited. There are so many places worth visiting but when it comes to living there that is a whole different thing. It’s also we are all different in our likes, desires, tolerances and so on. So stick to basics. You know yourself best just be realistic and put your absolutes and then at least you can eliminate most of the world. I don’t want to live on a beach for instance but ChangMai was a favorite but not perfect for instance. Good luck in your search!
