Let the Thai society know about your retirement life in Thailand

[Kanokwan 1]

Hi all members of PattayaTalk,

My name is Kanokwan Tangchitnusorn, I'm a Ph.D student of the College of Population Studies (CPS), Chulalongkorn University, and currently I am doing a Ph.D. dissertation about the international retirement migration (IRM) of Westerners in Thailand, in which, the research is about the study of the migration-to-Thailand decision-making process, well-being, assimilation, and impacts of Western retirees in Thailand.

As part of my research, I have to distribute around 400 questionnaires to Western retirees in Thailand nationwide who came from developed countries in the Western world. For Pattaya, I sent the hard-copied version questionnaires to Pattaya Immigration office, and already collected a good number of it. However, I think the on-line distribution of the questionnaire is also a practical and savvy approach.

Hopefully, the research results will become part of policy recommendations, which aim to constitute mutual benefits for both retired expats and Thai society as a whole.

So, if you want to be part of the study, please go to http://goo.gl/forms/d0M1ldM2H7 and then submit your information.

In addition, please be informed that Information related directly to you will be kept confidential. Results of the study will be reported as total picture. Any information which could be able to identify you will not appear in the report.

Thanks a lot for reading this post.

P.s. I firstly posted this topic on Expat Issues forum as I think it best suits the topic; however, it is relatively quiet there

So far, I already received 18 online responses from Pattaya residents, so I welcome more and more valuable responses from you ka :)
