My first six months in Thailand was very frustrating. When I dreamed about retiring in Thailand I thought that when I arrived I would get my retirement visa, rent a condo, buy a vehicle, then spend my time exploring my new country, going to the beach, going out for meals and meeting new friends.
Unfortunately reality took over and I spent most of my time dealing with Thai bureaucracy, and trying to sort out the endless problems that arise when moving to a new country. Back in Australia I already had an Australian visa, my own house, my own car, medical insurance, driving license, bank accounts, credit rating, doctor and dentist. Moving to another country I was more or less starting my life over and I needed to establish myself within the Thai system. Government, banking, medical, everything that was just part of my everyday life back in Australia, I had to re create in Thailand.
Hopefully this book will give you the information you need to avoid most of the problems that I had, and allow you to retire to this wonderful country with confidence and assurance as well as saving you time, money and your sanity.
I wish I had been able to read this book before I left Australia.
