Welcome to Chiang Mai, the retirement capital of Thailand!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
There are over 17,000 Expats who call Chiang Mai home. Whether it is because of the year-round good climate or the peaceful and laid back way of life or simply because they love the country and its people, they have all decided that this is the place they would like to spend their retirement.
It may seem like you will be taking a giant step by relocating to Chiang Mai, but you do not have to give up everything that you once knew. You will find lots of international restaurants, fine supermarkets, cable TV, Hi-Speed Internet and financial services all at a fraction of the cost you would pay in your home country!
Chiang Mai International Airport has direct air services to many major destinations in Asia as well as domestic services. Every capital in the world is now no more than two flights away.
It is possible to retire in Chiang Mai and still lead a very active life – in fact most people do. You can discover the beauty of the city and surrounding areas, learn all about the local hill tribes and experience the unique culture of Thailand. It is also possible to volunteer with one, or many, of the non-profit organizations found here and get involved with the international clubs local to Chiang Mai. It is the ideal place to finally take up that hobby you’ve always wanted to and of course to make new friends.
