Retired in Thailand.

Hello from the Land of Smiles (LOS). I'm Ray, residing in one of the quiet suburbs of Pattaya - no, it's not all wild parties, alcohol, and neon.
I've come over on a bare-bones budget, so I'm learning how to navigate Visa, housing, healthcare and finance issues quickly, efficiently, and cheaply.
So, if you're waiting for everything to be just right, don't.
And by the way, if you're a Veteran, you'll also find V.F.W. and American Legion posts in town, with plenty of people willing to offer advice (even if you didn't ask for any- LOL).
Enjoy your stay in Thailand. -

Thank you Ray! This will be a bare-bones budget for me as well! Best of Luck!
