if they do, it wouldn't be $1000 per month.

Unregistered 5 room can rent for 4-6k? Guess it depends on area..i saw advertisement that sengkang area 5 room are only renting out for less than 3k per mth.
im sick, tired and stress with life in sg, 9-5 job,overcowded, healthcare,transport,housing is all expensive . How i wish i can rent out my 5 room flat for 3k++ and use the monthly rental to pay for my retirement in CM if possible. Hope to live a slower pace life, doing something that i like, doing charity work,got time for my hobbies before im old and unable to do so.

Yes I totally agreed with you.

My HDB neighbor rented her 5-room flat for $8K per month. You can use that monthly rental to live like a king in foreign land.

$4-6K is too low.

In this way, the retirees don't have to worry about speaking Thai and can retire in luxury for $1000 per month.

He categorizes a retiree with a US$750 pm income as Category 1 ie you live in a 1-bedroom condo or Thai-style apartment and eat mostly street food.

Seriously, if you want a comfortable living and to be able to travel within TH and back to SG occasionally, I think a couple will need B50,000 (S$2,000) upwards, excluding rent.
