You can ask me anything.
Not retired, I moved to Thailand when I was 35. Had everything over there, very good job (no boss), excellent working times (4 days a week) and .. some beautiful woman walking around my house. Then, by coincidence I ended up in Bangkok. After 3 days I was walking nearby Wat Po, at 12:00 a day, the sun was burning, the traffic was enormous, the unknown smells of the Thai herbs were still in my nose, and I shouted: "Out of this place! I hate it!" We moved on to the South, and after 10 days I said to my friends: "Im going to live here".
To cut a long story short, I sold all my belongings (house fe) and moved to T. My suitcase was 8 kg. I did nothing the first 3 years. Chilling.
I was very fortunated to have met my Thai wife already (on Sea Canoe) and after 3 years we got married. She is an exceptional business woman and I'm a rather nice, though lousy, computer man (Linux of course) and together we are making money right now.
I have been very lucky in my life!
