Hi again Bill. Presume that you have been to Thailand before? Which part of Thailand are you thinking about?

Set yourself a budget daily or weekly and stick to it. The girls are experts at extracting your hard earned so take care. :D

You might not be ready to meet them, but they'll be looking for you.

In order to give you tips it would be helpful to know what put the thought of maybe retiring there in your head.

Remember Thailand is one of the countries where the UK state pension gets frozen.

If your state pension is the money you intend to live on, that will become a problem over the years if you retire there.
