When it comes to retirement for those of us over 60 it would be great to see videos that focus in on the actual day to day life of retirees in these places or others. Focusing on mobility, health and medical services, paying cash instead of high insurance premiums, accessible amenities without needing a car, adjusting to climate and weather without getting worn out or being confined to air conditioning 24/7, social life of the older crowd, which most KZreadrs never talk about, etc. as well as the honest Pros and Cons, including issues about social and political stability, etc.

I live in Thailand. I lived in central Bangkok and did not own a car for 5 years. The public transportation is extensive and relatively inexpensive. I’m not sure what you mean by mobility but don’t expect Thailand to be wheelchair accessible. The healthcare is excellent, inexpensive and very accessible. I had no problems communicating in English. I do pay for catastrophic health insurance and pay for routine medical expenses in cash. Bangkok has pretty good cultural opportunities. There is the Bangkok Music & Dance festival in the fall featuring international dance companies. The Bangkok Symphony Orchestra just finished its concerts in the park series. There is a pretty lively art scene and then there are all the Thai festivals and dance. I eventually found a terrific group of mostly retired expats to socialize with at a restaurant/bar complex in central Bangkok. There are activity groups you can join. There are all kinds of people here. You have to expend a little effort but you will make friends easily. It is hot here. There is no getting around that. The condo building I lived in had a beautiful pool and I spent many afternoons there cooling off. Schedule social activities for the evenings. Wear appropriate hot weather clothing. Heat is just something you have to accept. I’ve been here since 2017. It has been very politically stable. The only government you have to concern yourself about is the Immigration Department.

@@dovygoodguy1296 I bought a 10 million baht policy with a 40,000 baht deductible from Pacific Cross. I bought while in Thailand when I was 62. I am now 68. I’ve never spent as much as 40,000 baht for medical care. I recently spent 2 nights in a private hospital with Dengue fever and it came to 20,000 baht. If you buy into a new insurance company at a later age there are going to be exclusions for preexisting conditions. I have been pretty healthy in my old age but they won’t cover my kidney stones and probably not prostrate and cataracts. I have over $100,000 set aside for medical expenses that may not be covered by insurance. My current rate is 78,000 baht per year and that is with no-claim discounts. I needed health insurance for my previous OA visa and now for my current 10 year LTR visa.

Wow, Ubud Bali #1. That’s awesome. The traffic is absolutely horrible with scooters and vehicle congestion. The sidewalks are not user friendly for those disabled. They have parts of the walkway missing where you could fall into a big hole. You definitely need to be mobile and not disabled because they don’t have elevators in majority of buildings as well. You absolutely need insurance otherwise they will not see you in a hospital.

Congratulations on your 1000th video, what a milestone!!! You guys are a real inspiration to so many people. My wife and I are planning a scouting trip this June (Mexico/Costa Rica/Panama/Portugal/Spain) to find our retirement home after retiring at 60. We would love to travel to Southeast Asia, but not sure we could live there. The USA is just too expensive especially the healthcare. We're still trying to navigate healthcare abroad (I emailed Alex the healthcare broker in your video) and think we're just going to purchase in-patient coverage and pay out-of-pocket for out-patient care since it's relatively inexpensive in the countries we're looking at. Wishing you both the best.
Great and valuable info as usual. Congratulations on 1000 videos 🎉🎉🎉 We appreciate what you do!

@@Chris-dw6cu I like Nha Trang best of all in Vietnam. It's a tourist city with all the facilities you can wish for: beaches, restaurants, hot springs (Suoi Nuoc Nong Thap Ba is best), big English language reference collection in the provincial library, a good climate for ten months of the year, sea breezes during the day and mountain breezes at night, mountain streams (Suoi Da Giang). I stayed for twelve years until my daughter needed an education in Australia. I don't like big cities, so Hanoi and Saigon were out. Dalat for me was too cold, wet and miserable. Danang was too hot.

Loved the towns, people, food, etc., but the sargassum in PM definitely puts a damper on beach life.

Something that works for mosquitos is to eat a lot of fresh garlic and reduce sugar consumption. If you do, they won't be attracted to your blood.. Also, citronella essential oil (rubbed gently on the skin during dawn and dusk, when they are most active) keeps them away very effectively..

I don't want to contradict you, however Bali is no longer the value it once was. I have had a place here for over 27 years. New restrictive and expensive visa policies have been implemented - staying or retiring here long term is not as feasible as it used to be.

Even though I'm about 20 years from retirement age, I find myself pondering this question as the cost of living in the US is spiraling out of control. I was surprised that you recommended Koh Samui. We were there in early April and I was completely miserable for most of the visit. The heat is pretty bad, but the humidity is off the charts. And most places are not air conditioned, not even the airport! I also found the sand (at least on the northern part of the island) extremely coarse and unpleasant to walk on. That's why I'm about to check out your cool weather locations video haha.

Personally, I like the seasonal differences ... but I'm not sure where the cheap places are that have the heat of summer but also a cooling fall, snowy winter and a green spring ... and are safe and clean etc ...

Thank you for your feedback. Have you watched our highlands videos?
Great video Dan. Really appreciate this content, thank you.. Surprised number one on your list is Ubud, Bali. I need to watch that video. I always thought Vietnam was the cheapest (most bang for your buck for retirees). And KL overtaking Penang...are you sure?

Watching this video for the second time. 😃 I am going to include our current city ( Quetzaltenango, aka Xela, Guatemala ) in your number 15 spot. Xela is the second largest city in Guatemala. Some advantages here are perfect cool weather at almost 8000 feet in elevation. Low 70s in the afternoon and 45-50 at night. We also don’t have to deal with throngs of tourists. There are 3 large modern malls and even a huge Walmart. We expected something similar to Nicaragua, but immediately you see that Guatemala is much more prosperous. We are spending about $1100-$1200/month without budgeting. We have a 3/1 house, 4 blocks from the main park, with a fantastic view. If someone likes cool temps and Mountain View’s, you should visit Xela.(Shay-La)
Wow! 1000th video that is some going, as its not like they're 5 minute videos. Surprised by Porto, not far from the UK for us. I think that we'd be tempted to do a bit of country hopping in South East Asia rather than the retirement visa for Thailand although it would be my primary choice as the wife is thai. Like you say, the government looking to tax your income might be less than helpful.

Hi Dan...love your vids. Could yo tell me where you stayed in Dumaguete . I'm going next month to visit a few Islands. Also, could you beat the new Thai Tax by living on CC's and just paying them off each month.

Hi Dan, I don't judge anyone else for their opinion or their decisions on this, but normally, I wouldn't buy a membership due to having a fairly low income, but your information and your pitch made sense to me. Most of the time, I avoid sales pitches like the plague, but I appreciate the fact that your information will likely save us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over the next couple of decades when we take the plunge and begin traveling. Our first stop will be the Visayans, in the Philippines, and for a while, at least will likely serve as our home base to wherever we desire to go next.

Thanks for trying us out. We try to offer something worth more than it costs. So thank you. :-)
Nice vidéo man! You my hero haha! I wanted to do that for years. I had the chance to visit the Philippines and i knew i wanted to live there. Question for you: i only have 50k in cash ( don't want to touch to my RRSP before 60) so i'm 50yo with 50k with zero dept. You think i could try that life for a year ?

Are you asking if $50k USD is enough for a year? Or are you asking for 10 years?
Number one: Bali (Ubud?) It would be nice if you could post a few graphics and then we could screenshot those.
Hey Dan, I was hoping to see the Dominican Republic in your top 15 destination. I go every year for the past 10 years. Will be moving to Samaná beach. I will first rent then buy a two bedroom apartment or even villa. I think the money goes a long way in the DR and its still cheap compare to the USA. Also, I find Samaná to be expats/tourist-friendly and very safe. Thanks for sharing.

Google Vagabond awake Dominican Republic. We have videos there.
Hi, my wife is from Batu Indonesia I'm from the USA. We have thought about retiring there. We have a 13 year old son who does not want to move there. I'm 62 this year my wife is 48 this year and we have a house that's almost paid off. We could rent it out and with my SS we could live nice. My concern is health care and how I will be able to get my meds. Do you have any advice on that and how to convince our son to live in Indonesia. We don't have the savings to be able to go back and forth each year for his school and college. Thank you. Great videos.
Great video. I was wondering why the Dominican Republic is not on your list?

It is. Just not in the top 15 in the world. We have youtube playlists for each of our retire cheap in paradise countries. You will find that information on your requested country there: kzread.infoplaylists Whereas all our reports on each city in those countries are in our membership catalog here: vagabondbuddha.com/ Thank you , Dan
Great video, very informative, thank you! Question: Did you consider safety (from a crime against you perspective) in these places? For example: I have felt very unsafe when visiting some cities/areas in Mexico. Not due to the Mex people (they're mostly wonderful and I am fluent in Spanish), but more so due to the cartel activities. This bad element couldn't care any less about your life. They see you more like cattle and if they're hungry or need your hide for a belt, they won't hesitate to kill you in an instant.

Yes, I have spent years in Mexico. There are dangerous areas no doubt, but we don't go there.
Interesting list...should include Kota Kinabalu in Borneo Island as number 16 and Ubud is very touristy better to choose Surabaya or Bandung.😊

If your an American, the best and cheapest place to retire is the Philippines, they speak english, have great food, great islands and beaches, the people are so friendly and easy to talk to. All the other places on your list would just be vacation destinations. Over all, if your american, head to the Philippines, no Hassel visa program and no visa runs, great medical services too.

Agreed. I would want to retire where I can communicate to people easily. It would be hard to live by sign language every day.
