If you haven't already booked, check out La Posada Nueva.

You might try the Lake Chapala Society: https://lakechapalasociety.com And most real estate agents offer a "get to know lakeside" tour...

Hi Lynne, I wrote an article about medical tourism for IL and you can find it here: https://internationalliving.com/medical-tourism-how-insiders-afford-new-hips-hair-plugs-and-facelifts/ A great place in Mexico for cosmetic surgery is Guadalajara. I suggest you reach out to Lori Payne there, who is a healthcare facilitator: https://www.facebook.com/mymedicalconcierge?mibextid=ZbWKwL

It won't attach here. If you want me to send you a list of clinic phone numbers, send me an email here - bbottone@internationalliving.com

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!
