its not the cost in Thailand that is making people move, its the feeling and treatment towards foreigners that is making people move.

 

+1

Most come to a point where they had more than enough. And then some.

If people here could be honest when they post, most of them know of expats who already left, last 2 years, and increased last 2 months. They know why expats left: Immigration.

Expats had 800.000+ per year but not in thai bank, so living cost in TH has nothing to do with their leaving.

I know a lot of people and not a single one moved because of being unloved, seriously what sort of idiot would do that? You think they are going to Cambodia for free hugs? Leaving because one is running out of money or health issues makes total sense.

U dont make sense urself.

if u notice in a country that year after year its getting more complicated and more of a hassle to met all the latest requirements to stay then why not look to at another country where this is not happening.

most countries welcome retirees staying in their country. Maybe u dont mind feeling unwelcome but others do mind that.

Was 'war on drugs' in PH excluded or included in those numbers?

I don't doubt the numbers, local tv report it daily.

 

In SEA Myanmar ranked with 15,2 per 100.000 Most in SEA.

 

Don't doubt those figures.  One of the reasons I like living here.  No bullshit at all.  Cops never come out of the station.  Just collect the tax on the ice going to Chiang aRai.

The 5 reasons that people leave Thailand.

1, money 

2, money

3, money

4, money

5.health..broken heart

 

Whats changed ? put your 800k or 65k in and your sweet. Or are you somehow being targeted by thais? in which case you should look at your own behavior. The rest of us live in peace without any more drama than anywhere else.

Which countries welcome penniless retirees? Get real that is what this thread is all about.  People who can longer fund their stay in Thailand.  It's not about retirees choosing to move.... It's s about having to move.

It's not about affording Thailand, it's the visa rules and visa changes.

There are many nations that have financial requirements well under Thailand's levels.

There is no direct relation between visa requirement financial requirements and the actual cost to live in a place.

It's dumb and simplistic to think that everyone leaving, everyone being forced out, everyone thinking about leaving because of the visa changes is leaving because they can't afford Thailand.

Well let's  agree to disagree on that point.  It's  always about the money.
