Life as a Single Male Retiree in Chiang Mai, Thailand

In the latest video over on our YouTube channel, Amanda interviews Bob Lyman, a single retiree in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

It's no secret that Chiang Mai has long been a favorite vacation spot for expats and travelers. This city in northern Thailand has something for everyone because of its numerous golden temples, extensive selection of international eateries, breathtaking surroundings, and a wide range of outdoor activities. Additionally, the tropical climate all year round is a benefit.

Chiang Mai has all the amenities of a large city at small-town costs. Good quality rentals are easy to find to fit any budget in the center of town, outer suburbs, and nearby rural areas. Locally grown fruits and vegetables are available in fresh markets located around the city, along with a range of prepared foods. Any of the major supermarkets in the area offer a wide variety of imported goods for those looking for more familiar cuisine.

With Bob, we talk about the perks of relocating to Chiang Mai and the benefits that come with living here. Bob tells us a little bit about the retiree community and also the different ways of getting around this beautiful city. We also dive into the details of healthcare and insurance in Thailand.

Enjoy!
