retiring in udonthani
udonthani.co.uk has one compelling view on Retiring in Thailand in general, with a concluding passing mention of Udon Thani:
Many of our website visitors had been visiting Thailand for several years and finally, made the leap and so far they never regretted it. Some live in Bangkok and do not miss owning a car, as the sky train system that is in place, rivals other similar ones for being so safe, reasonable, and efficient. Some live in the North east of Thailand udon thani is just one place where life is quiet and peaceful. Very affordable housing and great health care Others choose the South where beautiful beaches in areas like Phuket and Koh Samui abound
Further general Retirement information from — I believe — the same gent is available on Expat Udon Thani Thailand. He enumerates a good number of points that should be considered ere Retiring abroad.
If you don’t mind reading some opinions from 2004, the Thai Visa forum has a thread that was begun by someone enquiring for opinions on whether Khon Kaen or Nong Khai was best for Retiring to. Several responders cited Udon Thani. It’s quite interesting to read the opinions.
The forum also has this thread from 2007 titled Retirement In Isaan What is the best choice and why?
Udonmap has a number of forum threads on the subject of Retirement — I’ll just cite some recent ones:
You would do very well to not just browse this forum, but to join and post some questions. Certainly, the forum has its jack-asses, but most members will try to assist a serious potential ‘expat’ as opposed to a ‘sexpat.’
Udonmap’s sister forum at NongKhaimap has a thread with some great responses to an American wondering on what to do with his property in the U.S. if he Retired with his wife to Thailand. The responses dealt with what life in Isaan is like, which I imagine is what interests you, the reader.
A University thesis by Canadian John Koch-Schulte titled Planning for international retirement migration and expats: A case study of Udon Thani, Thailand had some interesting views. He once offered a link to it on the Udonamp forum and invited commentary.
If you think you might care to check the paper out, an Abstract is here. I suspect that the full work is available at several Web locations for free, such as this .pdf copy.
Continuing, I came across a site called Why Retire in Thailand? that may prove to be helpful. You shall have to decide for yourself.
You might also appreciate this Expat’s views of Udon in this essay he calls Living in Udon Thani.
At any rate, I hope that one day I will be able to report from direct experience just what Retirement in Udon Thani is all about.
Good luck to you!
