I've been a paying member for over 2 years now, and have spent about 12 months so far in Thailand on 2 trips during that time. The continuing value and resources that JC provides are still of benefit to me. Probably the best all around online resource about Thailand living and retirement. I highly recommend his member site.

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!

The value that RCA delivers to me as a member has far exceeded the nominal membership fee for the past five years! The forum and videos gave me insight and information that allowed me to prudently make my move away from the USA and here to Thailand. Even after three years living in Bangkok, I still get great value from being and RCA member. JC does great work for his community and I am quite happy to be one small part of it!

Educational and entertaining. Best value for your money. You have access to people, information and resources and JC has always been responsive to my needs. Meaning if I have a question and post it to the What's Shakin' ? update on a country and situation JC is good at getting back with an answer and his opinion. I like that. He solicits the membership of what they want to see and need. Nat is better looking though - just gotta say that! ;) They are a good couple and both encouraging & inspirational to all comers from the shy to the outgoing. Join early and be informed your decisions you will be making will be better for the effort.

This site is the only up to date Thailand site with practical tips and information on everyday living that is realistic by a guy who is passionate about the country. His unbiased view and constant updates is well worth the membership investment and you can only benefit by being part of this great community. The membership cost is amazing value and should be much higher for the information you have access to. Thank you so much JC and Co. for providing this service and hope for people that truely want to enjoy the retirement they deserve. !!!

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.

Looked interesting. I had only seen a few episodes on YouTube.

For one a much better insite into JC. I enjoy all videos both on YouTube and Member sites. I have a much better feeling for the people of Thailand and has answered many, many questions that I had. I do plan to continue my membership. I do plan to visit Thailand and even look positively to maybe moving there. A big thanks to JC, Nat, Dah Noi and Gaow Gaow (not sure of the spelling. The time you spend is greatly appreciated.

I honestly do not know of another site where you could find as much current information about moving to, and living in, Thailand.

I have been a member of RetireCheap.Asia for over three years! This site is not only a great site for retirement info is Southeast Asia.You also have a community of people you can correspond with on the website via forums and private message. JC refers us as the RCA family. This family helped me plan my first trip to Thailand. I will be going to Thailand for my second trip in month. Retire Cheap.Asia is highly recommended by RCA family member Fred H.

If you're even remotely interested in retiring in SE Asia, join RetireCheap.Asia. You won't be disappointed! You will find an incredible amount of resources at your finger tips and you will become connected with an amazing group of like-minded individuals. Every week I look forward to JC and Nat's weekly video update. They are quite informative and entertaining as well.

RetireCheap.Asia is well worth the price of admission. JC does a fantastic job creating interesting and informative videos of some of the best places to retire. The body of information that he commands is impressive and thorough in all aspects of retirement.

If you are considering a move to Southeast Asia, RetireCheap.Asia is THE place to go to collect all the knowledge you need to fully prepare for your adventurous relocation.

Anyone considering becoming a member should read this!! I have been a member for over 2years and the information and weekly updates are truly fantastic, even if your not considering retiring to Thailand but you still have an interest in holidaying becoming a member is a must!! For the price of a few cups of coffee or a couple of drinks you can get a whole months subscription, that's not a lot!! JC is a perfectionist and the quality of his material is exceptional, very interesting , informative and very enjoyable to watch, he ALWAYS returns any queries you may have by e mail. I have followed other people on YouTube etc and whilst some are interesting they honestly are nowhere near as professional as retirecheapasia, if you really really want to see what Thailand is really like and you want to get a very honest overview do yourself a favour and join, you really won't regret it .. For the record I don't know JC personally and I am giving a very honest review here to help anyone who's thinking of visiting or retiring to Thailand ( remember you don't have to be considering retirement to Thailand to find this site helpful, it is still a wealth of information for those just interested in going for a visit) I would never have had the confidence to visit Thailand without becoming a member and I've travelled there two times in two years, the information I got through JCs site was truly invaluable , take care and God bless and enjoy the journey . Kevin p.

If you are in any way interested in Thailand, be it culturally, because of its climate and scenery, to visit or if your considering retiring there, you should really really join this site, for the cost per month you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, I'm a member for 3 years and I look so forward to the new video sent to me every week, you become part of a family, join you won't regret it!!!

I was skeptical at first, I thought all the information I needed about moving and living in Thailand could be found on YouTube. JC's video's were very informative, not just the bar scene or typical travel video's, so I wanted more...Since joining RCA, it has helped take me from fantasy to practical planning for my retirement in Thailand. I no longer feel paralyzed about making the move! RCA has created a pool of knowledge and resources for me to contact through this process. I know of no other business that offers this for so little. This site will give you the confidence and support to make such a move possible, I can't imagine doing it without RCA's support. Sincerely, Bob Reardon Columbus, OH USA
