This colorful and exotic Kingdom has become the preferred destination in Asia. Thailand has competitive advantages in every respect: great accommodations, good restaurants, a great road-system, perfect medical facilities, nice beaches, a night-life never seen anywhere else, international schools, world-class golf courses, amazing shopping complexes and entertainment areas.
Thailand has become increasingly popular to private individuals in search of a change of lifestyle, whereby they are able to enjoy year-round sunshine, high quality and affordable day-to-day living standards. All this, combined with a safe and completely captivating culture make Thailand an extremely desirable investment opportunity.
Its cost of living is considered to be 1/3 that of major European countries. Mercer HR Consultant's & Cost of Living survey ranks Bangkok as the 125th most expensive city in the world (out of a total of 144 cities). In Thailand, foreign retirees can afford a completely new lifestyle, complete with an inviting tropical climate, as well as a full-range of facilities and services for a fraction of the cost in more developed countries.
Large communities of foreigners are scattered around Thailand's beaches and highland cities, due in part to the warm tropical weather, with temperatures of around 25 - 35 degrees Celsius for most of the year.
Pristine and sandy beaches are not the only attractions in Thailand. If you venture out into the peninsula, you will discover its true culture smack in the centre of the country. The magnificent Khmer Temples located in the north, for example, where you can admire unspoiled traditional life. Thailand is simply amazing.
