I have been considering that too. However, have to earn as much Singapore dollar as possible. For every dollar, you get 4 times spending power.

I heard the easiest way is to get a Thai connection. ie, you need a Thai wife.

Hi Jaslyn,

it boils down to economics. Singapore is an excellent country, its safe, clean, efficient. But as a first world nation, the costs of living is pretty steep compared to our neighbouring states. For the same cost as a 3 room HDB flat, a Singaporean can get a large bungalow with easy access to fantastic beaches and beautiful mountain trekking. Costs of living is low, allowing your dollar to stretch far as compared to Singapore. I think anyone would has travelled to thailand has experienced the amazing bargains. Moving to a "third world" is not for everyone, but it is an extremely logical and (to me) smart move. One can afford to retire earlier, get better property, in thailand as compared to Singapore or the more popular destinations like NZ or Australia. Plus, as an Asian country, thailand offers a similar culture and lifestyle, and a Singaporean can easily blend in to the population.

Oh yeah and tremendous savings on medical costs too.

So we are not quitters but just smarter! :)

this is what I want to hear to confirm we are no quiter :D

Have been thinking about leaving this so called safe country for a few years already.Money earned comes in from one hand and goes out the other hand.Hardly anyone can afford to have saving and yes,the hefty medical if anything should happen.

This is the first time I heard people thinking to move to thailand.When I mentioned to my husband this morning.I was suprised he told me alot of westerner moved to thailand for early retirement too.

I guess if a family involved with kids...there would be more factors to consider about...job,school,safety...and one thing I definitely agree with both hands,the lesser stress lifestyle compared to singapore

In repsonse to Hammerhd's query,

might be better to work in Singapore then cash out and relocate to thailand. Its tough to have singaporean living standards on a thai salary. Other option is to find a thailand posting.

Labour is inexcess in thailand, the other option is capital. Without capital, no way you can survive over there. A salaried job will kill you.

There's the one year long stay programme as mentioned, unless you qualify for thaksin's thailand GOLD VIP scheme. Otherwise, difficult.
