Thailand Ranked in Top 10 Best Places to Retire

BANGKOK, Jan 10 (TNA) – Thailand is ranked among the world’s top 10 Best Places to Retire in 2019 in the Annual Global Retirement Index, conducted by International Living (IL) magazine. Panama tops the list, followed by Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, Malaysia, Columbia, Portugal, Peru, Thailand and Spain respectively. According to IL magazine, Thailand enjoys the warm-water coastlines of both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. This is a country that has never been colonized by any Western countries, so Thai culture is untouched, rich, and ancient. What’s more, it’s ideal for expat living. In respond to the rankings, Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Yuthasak Supasorn said it is good news that creates good image for Thailand. Foreign retirees choose to live in many Thai provinces such as Chiang Mai, Nakhon Phanom, Nongkhai, where they enjoy nature and low living cost. TAT will continue to promote charms of secondary provinces to be attractive destinations of local and foreign tourists, he said. (TNA)
