why retire in issan north east Thailand
from what ive read and heard of late issan province is fast becoming on of the top choices for a large percentage of us falangs to choose to put down a few roots
issan was and as grown more popular but as the hard times have bit in over the last year the credit crunch as exhilarated things
my expectation.s have changed but issan would always be my first choice the pound going back to 70 baht would be nice but the reasons to decide on issan have not changed for me anyway
in England i pay about 5000 baht a month in council tax in Thailand 20 our 30 baht for the bins Thailand 1 Britain 0
in Thailand when i like to watch TV iam not looking over my shoulder for the detector van looking to collect £145.50. about 7.500 baht a year free to air not Thailand 2 England 0
financial concerns are always a large factor but what about general well being iam sure if you can retire early then you should live a more mobile life in Asia not stuck behind the tv life played outdoors
not sat indoors watching re runs of top gear on Dave
the European union brought in this working time directive but since you can sign a paper at work and slave for hours what's the point the Thais look to be taking it easy comparable to some of are European cousins
the only downside i see is healthcare for a old boy the price goes trough the roof so it would be a good idea to get signed up to one early before you retire our fall ill as it can be very expensive but with the money you save in other areas it could still be doable

housing is a massive outlay but look at renting your free to move around and if you do have problems with your partner then a quick inexpensive exit strategy is always possible where rose tinted spectacles will not hide you from it as many have found out to there cost
that's a own goal so Thailand 1 England 2 shame are team cant produce these results consistency England to win the world cup are you crazy

When God handed out brains I was definitely at the back of the queue. I was probably bartering with some of his helpers over a good deal on some ” In the beginning God created Me ” t-shirts. In the 50 years since, I’ve managed to get by with the Teflon brain I was handed. Plenty gets put in it, but nothing sticks.
