Today’s prospects for a long and happy retirement are better than they have ever been. With people living longer and enjoying greater health, retirement no longer needs to be seen as an unexciting time. The very word retirement is outdated. Its connotations are simply wrong; this is a time that should not be about drawing back from life, but continuing to experience it fully.
And that’s precisely what plenty of people are doing. Instead of passively accepting retirement and continuing their lives much as before except without the element of work, they are looking forward to this time as one of adventurous living. And for a good number – an increasing number, in fact – they are looking to settle abroad. Certain countries and places are emerging as excellent choices when it comes to retiring, and Thailand is one such. Already famed as a much-loved tourist destination, over the years it has become a place where people can emigrate to. And now, in a quite logical development, the country is becoming a country where people can retire to.
All the same advantages apply to retirees as they already do to émigrés. There are great reasons for coming here. The country offers year-round good weather, ideal for leisure purposes of any and all kinds. Barring the rainy season, there are many more sunny days here than in most places in the world, certainly than in the northern hemisphere. Temperatures remain steady and high; stepping into the sea or a swimming pool is never going to be a chilly experience.
The costs of living are also cheaper in Thailand, and the country offers a safe haven in an unpredictable world.
If you are looking for a retirement care resort Thailand, then there is plenty of choice; throughout Thailand, mostly in holidaymaking areas, there are a growing number of retirement villages.
Many are close to the sea and here on Koh Samui you will find one that is near the coast in a secluded hillside setting, at Koh Samui Retirement Village.
Why move to Koh Samui? The island is a world-class tourist destination and also hosts many expatriates who have decided to live here either fulltime or parttime. They form a friendly, welcoming community. The island is dotted with their villas, and the lifestyle that they are able to lead is equally accessible to retirees. Koh Samui Retirement Village came into being because there is a growing desire for communities such as ours and the island offers an ideal spot for them.
Connectivity is a big part of living on Koh Samui. It is easy to get to Bangkok from the island; it is just an hour away by plane. Other destinations are also easily reachable, such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong. High speed ferries also connect the island with the mainland and it is very easy to use Koh Samui as a start point for exploring the rest of Thailand.
Koh Samui is no maritime backwater and is an ideal location for a retirement care resort Thailand, as the island features so many amenities. The island has shops and malls and there is basically nothing at all that you cannot find here. It also has a cachet for excellence when it comes to restaurants and food of every kind. The island has everything from hole in the wall eateries all the way up to palaces of fine dining. And exactly the same applies to its wellness and spa facilities – there is everything you could wish for, from simple massage huts on the beach to 5-star spa resorts.
If you are interested in a retirement care resort Thailand, then it’s important that wherever you choose should be close to hospitals. On Koh Samui there are six hospitals and they are able to deal with most cases. Sometimes it may be necessary to travel to Bangkok, which one of south-east Asia’s chief medical hubs.
