20 Places Where You Can Retire With $150K

Thailand

You’ll need to make about $24,000 to live in Thailand. While that’s a bit more than some of the countries, you can live anywhere in the country on that income – from the city of Chiang Mai or the island of Koh Samui. It costs about $1,500 to $2,000 a month to cover your expenses in the country.

Both Chiang Mai and Bangkok have modern, high-quality health care. The country offers a stable political climate and quality police force.

Once you know that you want to live there, apply for a one-year retirement visa. You must provide you have an annual income and savings of at least 800,000 Thai baht (approximately $24,000). You must check in with Thai immigration authorities every 90 days.
