Thailand and the Philipines do not intrigue me unless I go there simply as a vacationer. I think a lot of the love of these kinds of places is based on men who get involved with foreign females (the kind of guys who don’t like American chicks).
If I want to live in a earlier age, I could move to interior Maine where people still don’t use electricity, form their own militias, and mind their own business. I’m not ready for that either. No place is perfect and I’m sticking with the USA.
What, you wouldn’t like a cute young Asian cabana boy to massage your... feet ? ;-D
Same here! I'm most likely headed to Colorado when I retire to settle near my younger son, his wife and my grandson. My daughter and older son are thinking of moving there as well.
It was a hard choice for me, came down to whether I wanted to live with my wife in Thailand or just visit her, the US has turned her down for a visa 4 times so far. That’s what happens when you try to do things legally.
However, I am now thankful it happened otherwise I would still be in the USA working 50-60 hours a week in a high stress job making money I do not need. On the downside it is the renters enjoying my waterfront home.
Getting a Thailand visa was not that difficult, and Thailand has grown on me.

Most people in Maine use electricity and don’t form militias. We do mind our own business though. Having said this, don’t f with us though.
