Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first six months in Thailand was very frustrating. When I dreamed about retiring in Thailand I thought that when I arrived I would get my retirement visa, rent a condo, buy a vehicle, then spend my time exploring my new country, going to the beach, going out for meals and meeting new friends. Unfortunately reality took over and I spent most of my time dealing with Thai bureaucracy, and trying to sort out the endless problems that arise when moving to a new country. Back in Australia I already had an Australian visa, my own house, my own car, medical insurance, driving license, bank accounts, credit rating, doctor and dentist. Moving to another country I was more or less starting my life over and I needed to establish myself within the Thai system. Government, banking, medical, everything that was just part of my everyday life back in Australia, I had to re create in Thailand. Hopefully this book will give you the information you need to avoid most of the problems that I had, and allow you to retire to this wonderful country with confidence and assurance as well as saving you time, money and your sanity. I wish I had been able to read this book before I left Australia.

Book excerpt: The Retire in Thailand Handbook 2023...The Next Six Years, is a follow-up to the original book that I wrote and published in 2018 about living or retiring in Thailand, The Retire in Thailand Handbook...The First Six Months. This book is an updated version because so much has changed since covid arrived in 2020 and devastated the country's economy and tourism industry. The updated book covers the six years that I have lived here and guides the reader through the procedures and protocols of establishing oneself in The Land of Smiles. My first six months in Thailand were frustrating. When I dreamt about retiring in Thailand, I thought that when I arrived, I would get my retirement visa, rent a condo, buy a vehicle, and then spend my time exploring my new country, going to the beach, going out for meals and meeting new friends. Unfortunately, reality took over and I spent most of my time dealing with Thai bureaucracy and trying to sort out the endless problems that arise when moving to a new country. Back in Australia, I already had a visa, my own house, my own car, medical insurance, driving license, bank accounts, credit rating, doctor and dentist. Moving to another country, I was more or less starting my life over and I needed to establish myself within the Thai system. The 2023 version of the book is filled with updated cost comparison charts, helpful tips on living here and the best areas to live or retire in Thailand as an ex-pat.

Download or read book Same-Same But Different. Searching for the Perfect Place to Retire in Thailand written by Gerald Hogg and published by Retirees Travel Guide Series. This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a saying in Thailand: "Same same but different." I asked a Thai lady once what the meaning was and she answered "You and me the same, but different", which I think sums it up. It has become quite a catchphrase here in Thailand, and it is seen on tee shirts, coffee mugs and heard all of the time, wherever you go. You might ask a local what's the best beer in Thailand, Chang, Leo or Singha? And the answer would generally be "Same same but different", or what's the difference between Thai red curry and Thai green curry? "Same same but different". So when I am asked what's it like retiring to and living in Thailand compared to Australia, England or the USA? My usual answer is, "Same same but different", very different, very cheap and very enjoyable. Thailand is a magical place and I feel blessed that I can live here. Thailand is within easy reach of many other Southeast Asian countries by airplane, car or bus, and I travel to these areas and try to have new experiences whenever I can. Being a retiree I have to look after my money to make sure that it doesn't run out before I do, so I always travel within my means, on a budget, and with a plan. It has been eighteen eventful months since I first arrived in Thailand to start my retirement. The time I have spent here has been full of highs and lows (mainly highs), and I know now that I made the right decision to make Thailand my new home. It hasn't been easy, in fact, if you have already read my first book, The Retire in Thailand Handbook (The first six months) you would have seen that it was quite difficult to establish myself here and sometimes very frustrating and time-consuming. That was then and this is now. After the first six months everything seemed to fall in to place. I moved from Phuket to Koh Samui and rented a nice villa on the beach. I met and fell in love with a beautiful Thai lady, who is now my partner. This book starts where the last one left off, in Phuket and will take you on an exciting journey through Thailand, stopping off at many of the cities and towns expat retirees now call home. I decided to take the road trip to find the ideal town in Thailand to eventually settle down and call home. Thailand has so many beautiful places to choose from, tropical Islands, beach resorts, rural towns, farming towns, large bustling cities, and fishing villages. The choice of where you may want to live depends on your outlook on life and how you want to enjoy spending your new life once you have retired. As Thailand is 95% Buddhist a lot of the attractions around Thailand's rural and inland areas revolve around Buddhist temples, markets and national parks are also a big feature in rural Thailand. Bangkok, the coastal areas and the beautiful islands offer more entertainment, amusements, and nightlife, but if you want to see the real Thailand, not just the Thailand that the tourist see you should head to the heartland, to places like Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen. Being on a pension, it was important for me to live within my means and within my budget, but I still wanted to be able to travel when I want to, and live my life to the fullest. To be able to do this and get the best deals you have to shop around. I am amazed at the people I have spoken to on my travels who have just booked their trip with a local travel agent, and not checked prices elsewhere. Though we may have traveled on the same airplane, gone on the same tour or be staying in the same hotel, the price I paid was sometimes half of what they had paid. This book will give you some great ideas on how you can save money when you travel, as well as an insight into great retirement areas within Thailand. The way I look at it, the more you save the more you can travel and enjoy your life and your retirement.

Download or read book How I Moved to Thailand, Retired Early, Found Love, Built a Mansion, and Live Like a King on a Dime written by Scott Curtis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BESTSELLER! LIVE YOUR DREAMS! RETIRE WORRY-FREE! FIND A LOVING COMPANION! Your buying power will almost triple in Thailand. If you're a pensioner or on Social Security and choose a city other than Bangkok, you'll probably feel like the richest guy in town! If you're younger and have enough savings, you can retire years early, like I did! It's so cheap to live here, on a modest budget you can live a life of luxury: Dining in the finest restaurants, having a maid, getting daily massages, staying in fancy hotels, vacationing on the beach, exploring Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Saigon, Bali, Angeles, and other exciting cities in Southeast Asia... In my beautiful city you can rent a lovely studio apartment with 60+ channel cable TV and views for as little as $100 a month! Or you can buy a nice cozy home or condo for as little as $20,000! Dental and medical care are world-class, and the price is low. You'll be living the American Dream- only in Thailand! LOVE IS HARD TO FIND IN THE US OR UK. IT'S EASY TO FIND IN THAILAND! I had a hard time finding a compatible partner in America. After my divorce I found that the kind of woman I wanted - someone like the girls I knew in high school - no longer existed. Instead I went on computer dates with women who seemed mostly interested in how much money I had and what kind of car I drove and did I own or rent? Nobody seemed interested in me. I was miserable. And lonely. I kept getting told I was too old for the women I was attracted to. After awhile, I stopped dating altogether. THAI WOMEN DON'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE! THEY LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN YOU! Much to my amazement, I found that age differences don't matter to most Thai women! That's not true in Latin America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, or even the Philippines- and certainly not in the West. Thai women are Buddhists, and they believe we're all part of an endless cycle of birth and death, and it doesn't seem to matter to them where you are on that cycle. They have been taught to respect age- and they do. They've been taught to please men- and they do! You can be 40 or 70 - and many girls here will still find you attractive. Further, they look for the good much more than Western women. You can be overweight, plain, a smoker- girls there are much more accepting than back home. YOU CAN BE A PLAYBOY. OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID AND FIND ONE GIRL TO LOVE! Moving here, I totally transformed my life. I went from living poor to living like a wealthy man would back home. I went from living alone and miserable to being the biggest playboy- for awhile. I'd have 3 dates a day- and some of the girls were just knockouts. The sort of women who wouldn't give me the time of day in America were vying for my attention! But ultimately I found being a playboy just didn't suit me (although I have many happy memories!)- and I found a lovely and peaceful woman straight out of my dreams who was delighted to marry me! We've been together 12 years now. Plus, I have great friends, a lazy dog, a 4 year old niece who pops by to play with me everyday- and I live in a mansion I built for $60,000! This is my story. I tell it- not to brag- but to give you an example of what you can do in your own life. NOT READY TO RETIRE, BUT READY FOR LOVE? Lots of guys meet girls here and take them home- It's easy to fall in love with Thai girls! In the sequel to this book, FINDING THE LOVE YOU WANT IN THAILAND, I share comments and stories from 50 guys who looked for a devoted companion and found one- or didn't- in Thailand. Then, they and I share our personal and very detailed advice for how to succeed. Your dreams can come true... in Thailand!

Download or read book You Will Never Amount to Anything written by Gerald Hogg and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was four years old, my mum took me and my brother to Jamaica to join my dad who had been transferred from London to work in Kingston Town as a foreman scaffolder on a twelve-month contract. There began my love affair with island life, sea, sand and surf. A few years later, when we came back to the UK we moved to Middlesbrough in northeast England, my dad's home town. We went from living like royalty, on a sun-drenched island, surrounded by palm trees, clear blue seas and golden beaches, to living in impoverished conditions in a cold, colourless northern town, with steelworks and two chemical plants polluting the air with noxious gasses. I made a promise to myself then that I was going to get out of that town and get back to Jamaica or some other island or country where there were happy smiling faces, blue seas, parrots, beaches and sunshine as soon as I possibly could. The day I left school for the last time, was the day the school broke up for the Easter holidays. The headmaster had decided that the few pupils who were not staying on to do their CSE or GCSE exams and who were leaving school for good on that day, should leave at lunchtime. There were only six of us and we were escorted from the school grounds by one of the teachers. When we were approaching the school gates I heard a voice from behind yelling "You lot will never amount to anything, you'll all end up as drunks, unemployed or in prison" I recognised the voice straight away, it was Mr Bagley, my science teacher, who had bullied, tormented and beaten me at every opportunity over the past four years. That just made me more determined to get away from England and start a new life in the tropics. His words have stayed with me to this day, and they have given me the strength to prove him wrong. I have had to cheat, lie and live by my wits to achieve my goals but since that day I have never looked back. I have worked as a chef on cruise ships, five-star hotels and restaurants around the world, been to the Antarctic, lived in ten different countries, own four investment properties and a share portfolio, had my own successful advertising business, own a beautiful house on the Gold Coast in Australia, own a boat in Boracay in the Philippines, wrote and had a book published on how to retire in Thailand, and I now live on the beautiful island of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. My life's been fantastic Mr Bagley...how about yours?
