I thought frangs could only buy condos. I would be interested in knowing how you were able to buy a house. Great bargain by the way, hope you and your girl have happy times in Udon.

Like many, I hope to retire to Pattaya in the next few years. I was wondering on what peoples experiences are regarding getting older there. Say you are 60 or 70 or even more. The mongering days are eventually over, but you love the climate, the food, the beaches etc. Is it possible to hire full time housekeepers, maids, are there retirement (old age) facilities etc. I guess once I move I have no intention of leaving. I may of course move somewhere quieter within LOS but the overall question remains the same.

Thanks for the info guys.

Finally, after twelve years I am hitting PTTY again in May. based on the hotels reviews page, I will opt for the Flipper House or Flipper Lodge. It's hard to decide based on reviews. Most reviews show a max of 880 baht paid. Both hotels web sites though show 1100 baht. So, what does one do? Hope for the best, turn up and barter a lower price or pay the 1100 baht when booking on their website? Any help greatly appreciated. (Oh, and if you have a standout preference between them, or other booking ideas, please let me know). Cheers all
