EMIGRATION to Thai..... (land of smiles, land of stress-free, party)

[beauthaiful]

I intend to settle down in Thailand (Chiangmai) once I have sold all my business interests.

See you there in future....may I?

I'm just keeping my options.. and Thailand is one of them. Invested in properties in BKK and Chiangmai. But retirement is still far away.. you never know, Indo or Cambodia may be paradises too in 10-120 years' time.

I have thot of migrating to the Fiji Islands. Lots of Koreans are doing that. Very cheap housing with beaches, totally stress free. But My future wife is a Thai, so I shall be migrating there soon. My main worry is my CPF. Just started a thread to seek advice.
Hopefully, Kind Brothers can enlighten me. Thanks !

I have been to Fiji Islands in the mid-80s, mainly Suva, a few times. It's not a paradise like what you saw on those grossy postcards. Granted, Fiji has a few resort islands with nice beaches. Political friction between the native Fijians and Fijians of East Indian origin constantly on the boil.

And the islands disappearing because of the rising sea levels..

given the uncertainties of the screwed climate patterns, ie: flooding in china, monsoons/typhoons/hurricanes/tsunami in pacific rim... etc. i reckon gotta consider locations inlands and/or highlands... islands & peninsulas r too much risk.

Didn't realise that u r thinking of moving to Chiangmai. I shared my experience in your legacy forum as I bought a house in CM (check out "http://65er.blogspot.com/2007/09/back-from-chiang-mai-2.html")

I shared my experience about CM in legacy forum (i bought a house there) to encourage people to move there. see my blog http://65er.blogspot.com/2007/09/back-from-chiang-mai-2.html

Have considered migrating to Thailand as well.

Life really sucks here.

I have done research and can contribute the following:

1) Application takes 3 yrs for approval/rejection

2) Best is to be able to speak the language

3) Need to work there for a few years (not sure of the exact number)

4) Just go to the police HQ at Rama 9 (hope I'm not mistaken) and apply. Application fee is about 5,600bht

I really feel like leaving right away if I can but unfortunately its not always that easy.

Hope guys with more experience and info can contribute here.
