Why This 67 Year Old American Retired In Thailand

Here's The 8-Part Email Series About Relocating To Thailand The Right Way: https://bit.ly/3Yb7FAf

Meet JR. After a long career working as a programmer in Silicon Valley, he decided that he wanted to step away from the rat race and do other things with his time. Upon retirement, he spent more than a decade working with a non-profit in the Bay Area before eventually relocating to Thailand to continue a peaceful retirement. JR's going talk about why he and his wife of more than 13 years choose to live in Si Racha, how Thailand's new interpretation of the tax code might affect him as a retiree, and finally... why it's so important to not rush into things over here. This is JR'S Thailand Blueprint.
