Advance information. After all the talk on retiring in Chiangmai, about time to put some action into plan.<\/p>\n
We are organising a special trip to chiangmai, for members to Chiangmai, with the aim of assessing retirement locations, activities and facilities. The dates are 22 Mar to 29 Mar 2018 (fixed).<\/p>\n
A few points:
\n1. Thai tourist visa, applied at Spore Thai embassy is 3 mths, free. You need to show return air tickets.<\/p>\n
2. Kenneth Tan, our regular CM advisor, suggests Scoot flying direct Sin\/Chiangmai\/Sin. Cost, less than SGD 300. So, you may want to book early. This is non-holiday period.<\/p>\n
3. This is not a tourist trip, as it is intended for members looking at Chiangmai as a retirement location. CM will be used as the central and springboard to places in North Thailand. We plan to live the Thai way.<\/p>\n
4. Accommodation, we will be staying at a few identified places, within a 1 hr radius from Chiangmai city.<\/p>\n
5. Facilities planning will include local fresh markets, hospitals, pharmacies, Internet, parks, bus stations, lakes, night markets.<\/p>\n
6. For those with special interest eg cycling, walks, gardening, chickens, Thai cooking, herbs, fishing, ease do research on the Internet. Let me know, and we try to accommodate.
