I've been planning to retire to Thailand for a few years and even though I have a Thai wife the RC Asia web site (and JC in particular) have proved invaluable in planning my move. Initially I used JC's YouTube videos to show that my dream of a Thai retirement was an achievable goal but as I became more serious I found the information on the RC Asia member site about Visas and medical issues has proved extremely useful in putting my mind at rest and making my plans come to fruition.

The best thing I ever did was become a member of this great site and make my first trip to Thailand... "which after 4 years I'm still on my first trip here"

I joined a couple of years before I moved to Thailand and I have lived here now nearly two years. This is without a doubt the best investment I could ever have made to made to learn everything necessary to make my decision to move and, just as importantly, to learn all about the rules, customs, laws and other nuances necessary to enjoy my life here. JC's depth and breadth of knowledge continues to amaze me! And when he refers to his RCA family, it in not an overstatement! I truly feel a sense of belonging to a family. I can't see myself ever dropping my membership.. Best investment in adapting to living in Thailand ever!!!

Members have access to a wealth of info that may not be easily accessible elsewhere. Well worth the nominal membership fee. Recommended whether you are planning to move or are already here.

To say a membership to Retire Cheap.asia is a must is the understatement of the year. It is the ONLY paid site on the Internet I pay anything for. Retirement in Asia IS a real option and to try to do it (even if you're in the planning or deciding stages) without a RCA membership is NOT an option. Pays for itself many, many times over.
