With a warm welcome and a more affordable cost of living than in France, Thailand is one of the top 5 countries for senior citizens looking to spend their retirement in the sun.

The advantages of retirement in Thailand.

The “Land of Smiles” has many advantages when it comes to retirement.

Let’s just say that the list of reasons why Thailand is a wonderful retirement destination is long. We’ve selected the most convincing reasons why.

 

Breathtaking natural landscapes

Thailand is a varied country with a wide range of landscapes.

Away from the cities, the heart of the country abounds in small villages and must-see archaeological and religious sites, while further north lies the Golden Triangle, offering natural parks, wildlife, dense forests and more mountainous landscapes.

Thailand also boasts major metropolises such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pattaya if you prefer a more lively, urban lifestyle.

Of course, Thailand is also home to some of the world’s most beautiful white sandy beaches. They line the coasts and islands where you can enjoy your free time under the coconut palms.

 

A very pleasant climate

If you find European winters too cold for your taste, escape to Thailand and its warm, sunny, tropical climate.

Thailand’s climate is mild and the temperature stable all year round. Count on an average of 25°c to 32°c. Although Thailand has a rainy monsoon season from mid-May to October, winters are warm. So you won’t have to dread the cold on future winter evenings!

 

Low cost of living

Thailand is world-renowned for its low cost of living, especially when arriving from Europe.

To give you an idea, a dish of rice or fried noodles costs around €1; an hour’s massage costs between €4 and €8; a bus journey from Bangkok to Pattaya costs €4; a return flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai costs €50…

One of the main advantages of expatriating to Thailand is the significant increase in your purchasing power.

 

 

Excellent medical services

It’s not without reason that Thailand is a renowned destination for medical tourism. It is known for offering world-class medical care, particularly in private hospitals. However, you should be aware that you will need to take out medical insurance to have access to healthcare on site.

 

And of course, there’s Thailand’s succulent food, friendly people, lively nightlife and welcoming, laid-back atmosphere. Why wouldn’t you want to settle there?
