Do not confuse between people who are rich enough to have a second home in Thailand and those who really uprooted and retire in Thailand.

The guy who said he needed $3m for his retirement could easily afford a second (holiday) home in Thailand while still having his home here. People like this are the ones who will boast about living Thailand but in actuality they are enjoying the best of both worlds(Thailand for the cheap food and the exotic life, and singapore for higher standard of living).

So far, I have not heard from the people who really uprooted and retire in Thailand. Anyone care to share?
