Hello Benphetchabun, welcome on board !

Please note that I have created a new thread from your post on the Thailand forum so that members may easily contact you.

May I ask how is it to live in that area ?

All the very best

Hi! Thanks for creating a new thread. My wife comes from Ban Rai, between Phetchabun and Ban Rai. We share our time between there, UK where we live now mostly, and France where I am from.

My GF has a house in Phetchabun and we are coming out in Jan

Hello all

I am considering moving from California, USA to Thailand, primarily so that I can be self sufficient on my Social Security income. Plus Thailand has always sounded like a special place to me

Anyone have any suggestions as to where an expatriate can or would like to live, rent, socialize

Hi, if all you have as income is social security I would say do not come to Thailand.

If you have additional income then maybe if it is enough.

Thier are a lot of YouTube videos that say you can live on just that much. But in reality do not try it you will be broke and if you need any medical assistance you will probably fail here.

My advice is not to come if you are that broke.   I believe the government is trying to push out low income non-thai's. As it's not the type of people they want here at this time.

But that is just my thoughts on this subject.

If you want to retire here cheap I wouldn't consider Thailand anymore. I would prefer Laos or Cambodia.
