I've been traveling to Thailand regularly for over 25 years. Getting close to retirement. Lots of good info here for making the transition from frequent visitor to resident retiree.

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.

I joined the site over 5 years ago, before moving to Thailand. I learned a great deal before moving here a little over 3 years ago and continue to gain information which helps me and, of course, saves me money and energy. I pay my membership on a yearly basis and feel I learn enough to save me much more than the membership fee. Just as important, gained many friends that now live in Thailand, especially when the chat room was more active. I encourage you to use it and realize the time difference if you are in another part of the world. It is a wonderful tool. I have learned a great deal from the videos and certainly helped my existence in this country. After all this time, I don't know everything, and it's wonderful to have the support group and JC there to answer my questions. The longer you stay a member, the more you know. Join, learn about Thailand, and make your life much more easy!

Lots of good and relevant info on Thailand and answers to any questions you may have e-mailed in
