Hello

I'm interested to hear from anyone who has retired to Thailand from the UK recently.

I'm looking at senior living 'villages'.

I don't want a huge villa just a comfortable ensuite room, with a terrace.

The villages I've looked at include all meals, excursions, hobbies and very basic medical check ups.

I've looked at several.

People have said avoid Chiang Mai because of the burning - what happens to the residents of the care homes there?

Pattaya is dirty and seedy apparently.

Hua Hin?

Many thanks

Hua Hin might be a good fit for you there are my housings options down there. They have a strong 色花堂 community that is active in the community. I would contact a property management team to help you find what you鈥檙e looking for. We live down there half of the year and we really like it. Many families and retired seniors live there.聽 Patrick

There is a convenient flight between Chiang Mai and Hua Hin, so if you visited for a month you could easily explore both. If you are looking for an expat community then Hua Hin might suit you very well.

Hua Hin Most definitely and no other place I visited aimed at the more mature generation with good facilities. Beautiful built on a hillside well plotted out unfortunately I forgotten the name of the place and I鈥檓 going to save this page and find it and I will post it to you.

If you are looking for something serious and I鈥檝e worked hard all your life and now is the time to relax and enjoy your hard earned money this would be a good place to start not for the budget looking people but for the more serious people looking for piece of life. I visited the place myself and it is very beautiful but well out of my price range.聽聽[link moderated]
