Thailand retirement sounds simple on paper, but the reality for an expat can be anything but. This story follows a man who tried to build a life between England and Thailand, juggling spouse visa rules, property renovation, condo investments, and village life far from Bangkok and Pattaya.
What begins with confidence in property flips, a condo project that looks profitable, and a plan to settle into a quiet life turns into a test of everything he thought he knew. Foreign ownership limits, mortgage payments, transfer fees, rising costs, and cultural gaps all add weight. The expat dream collides with day to day life in a Thai village, the pull of Pattaya, and the strain that comes when a relationship and a balance sheet move in opposite directions. It is about pride, face, trust, and how fast savings can vanish when one decision leads to another.
If you are thinking about retirement in Thailand, living in Pattaya or upcountry, buying a condo, or managing money between the UK and Thailand, this is a cautionary, lived story. It touches on spouse visas, contractors, sales offices, interest rates, and the reality of trying to save a future when the numbers stop adding up.
Not Thailand Retirement Hell, But Throws Away Retirement, But He Retired to Thailand, But He Failed Miserably in Thailand (Bangkok, Thailand), But He Thought She Was Different (She Wasn't), But He Invested in Thailand (condo), But He Became Deep in Debt for a Girl in Thailand (behind his back), But Starting Again at 64 (his reality), Like Talks of Thailand, Thailand Stories, Thailand YouTuber, Thailand warnings.
My name is Jon and I narrate all the stories on this channel using my real voice! I do all the walks you see in the footage myself, and edit the videos myself. AI is NOT used in the writing of stories on this channel or for the voiceover. Thanks for your support!
