Hello everybody. Well, this is my very first post.
I have exacty 7 months till I can retire from US Government civil service, and then thinking about moving to Thailand. I have spent the last 4 years in Korea (working in Alabama now), and numerous trips to the PI, but I have not visited Thailand since about 1986. Went up to LopBuri (North of Bangkok) and visited a friend that was a UH-1 pilot and Lt Col in the Thai Army. Then down to Pattaya for partying.
I really would consider living in the PI, but it's a little dangerous for Americans right now. Although the cost of living is cheap, the pussy is great, the women speak english and the beer is cold, I think Thailand still would be a better choice.
Bear with me... I will be asking the same ol' dumb questions that all newbies do here on a regular basis.
Again, hello to everyone. This board is a wealth of info for me.
Ron,

upena...
Thanks for the info. A friend of mine in Korea is thinking about retireing soon in TALAY (fairly close to Pattaya). Anyone very familiar with that area? I am really not on a tight budget, but I would think it would be a little cheaper than living in a big city like Bangkok. If Bangkok is anything like Seoul, I think I would opt for someplace a little more layed-back.
Again, I really don't have a clue as to any of this now.
The only thing I do know, is that Thailand will be a welcome change from the states (at least for a year or two).
BTW, I see apartment/condo rentals listing from anywhere from between about $250 per month to upwards of infinity. I know you can spend anything that your wallet will finance, but, what do you suppose the "average" rent most folks staying for more than a few months are paying for a nice 2 bedroom apartment/condo?
Thanks,
Ron

Mr. Driver: Lots of good information on this board. I am retiring to Pattaya in a few months although I already have a house and have lived in Pattaya for a few years already. Just working in Saudi right now.
You might call up:
http://www.pattayamail.com/
which is the weekly English paper in Pattaya. Lots of rental information in it that is current. Let the members know what your other interests are and I am sure somebody will have done it or at least checked into doing it.

ducksnutz..
I was flying the UH-60 up until a little while ago. Now they have me in the ol' UH-1. Jeeze, I didn't think they even used the Huey anymore! Good old VietNam vintage iron!
