Produktbeschreibung

I first came to Thailand more than 50 years ago in January 1983 when the cruise ship, I was working on sailed into Phuket harbour early one morning as the sun rose over the Andaman Sea. Within a few days of the ship tying up, I started to dream about one day living in Thailand. In those days Thailand's tourism industry was in its infancy and far removed from the Thailand we know today. Since then, I have visited Thailand many times for holidays but it took me 34 years to get my wish to live here when in 2017 I retired to Thailand but it wasn't always an easy transition. This book will give you all of the information you will need to make the transition from the life you had in your old country to living your golden years in Thailand without making the many financial and time-consuming mistakes I made when I retired to The Land of Smiles.

Is 60 The New 40?

There's a growing belief among biologists that 60 is the new 40, thanks to many of us enjoying longer and healthier lives than our parents and grandparents did. While I can't confirm this, I do think that if you have lived in a country with a clean environment, a modern healthcare system, good housing, and access to healthy food and clean water, then 60 might be the new 40. Additionally, having great weather can be a wonderful bonus for longevity. In contrast to third-world countries like Sudan, Burundi and The Congo, it seems unlikely that 40 would be considered the new 60.
