Veteran in need of other veterans advice. Or just really good advice

K
#1

I'm new to this forum. I'm a 100% service connected disabled navy veteran. I would like to know. Is there a fairly size of military veterans, and what would be the the best community in Thailand living where I can connect with other veterans. And is an monthly income around $4000 plus savings enough to live off of. I'm want to do the retirement visa route. I have done 5yrs of homework and research. I'm ready to pull the trigger now. All advice and information is much welcome. Thanks

Kenny

Jomtien has a smattering of U.S. vets and a YouTube and Facebook community founded by a former military contractor named Cooper. He has helped hundreds move here, and his YT Channel and FB page are "Cooper's Thai Adventure". Pattaya is building a VA services center. I'm a vet. The YouTuber Kenny Brown, ex- Air Force may be helpful w condos and airport pickup. TimetoRetire22 is his social media handle. Good luck

Hello

I am a vet in Phuket. I would think $4000 per month would be enough to

live on but it depends on if you have any special needs and life style.

You can spend a ton of money or live frugally depends on your interest

and life.
