As usual, much cynicism from much the same group of people. The reality is that Thailand will continue to be one of the places people want to retire to, as the country still has the things retirees want. Is it perfect, of course not. And you would think, from listening to this same old group of grumps, that Thailand is the only country in the world that Covid screwed up. Silly. Once the world adjusts to Covid as the new normal, Thailand will be back to being Thailand... a special place. For those that disagree, please feel free to let the rest of us in on all those "perfect" places to retire to instead of Thailand, I'd love to hear about them!
