What do I need to know before retiring in Phuket?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Phuket, they said...
"Before retiring in Phuket, expats should research the cost of living and the availability of healthcare services. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the climate and the type of accommodation they would like to live in. Finally, it is important to research the visa requirements and the process for obtaining a retirement visa," said another expat in Phuket, Thailand.
"Check out the English language newspaper - it'll give you LOTS of insight - even classified about rental houses, jobs and more at www.Phuketgazette.com Amd check out this site: www.Phuketdelight.com for information about life and living and working on the island You WILL love it here," wrote a member who made the move to Phuket, Thailand.
