Want to know about the cost of buying a house and providing for the aged in Thailand and related matters?

Thailand is known as one of the seven holy places for the elderly in the world. Chiang Mai, Thailand is also the first choice for providing for the aged in Thailand. So how much does it cost to support the elderly in Chiang Mai, Thailand?

Thailand encourages foreigners to live and work for the elderly. If they are over 50 years old and deposit about 654.38 yuan +0.5 million yuan in Thai banks, they can buy a house in Thailand and give them a pension visa.

Bangkok, Thailand is very hot, and the climate in Chiang Mai is very similar to that in Kunming, China, with spring-like seasons and very comfortable climate.

Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand, and the overall price in Thailand is low, which has five main advantages:

First, the rent is cheap and the facilities are good;

Second, there are many hospitals, which are convenient for medical treatment, and the medical expenses are almost "one zero" cheaper than those in China;

Third, the air is good, the water quality is good and the environment is good;

Fourth, Thailand's human resources are cheap and wages are not high. Although the nanny is based on the grade and quality, it is equivalent to 800- 1200 yuan per month, so the service is "intimate";

Fifth, there are many programs, restaurants, entertainment and parks. Generally speaking, as long as you can walk, you can eat whatever you want. Especially good tea.

In Chiang Mai, Thailand, the government insists on agriculture, handicrafts and tourism as the main economic sectors, and it is strictly forbidden for industries (specialized industries) to enter. Therefore, the forest coverage rate in Chiang Mai is over 70%, which is a veritable "Greentown".

The local air quality is basically below 30, and PM2.5 is normal at 12- 15, with blue sky and white clouds and breezy winds all year round.

The law and order in Chiang Mai is far better than that in Bangkok. The local people believe in Buddhism and are kind to others. Everyone, including foreigners, is greeted with a friendly smile. This Buddhist country, coupled with a suitable climate, has a slow pace of life and a high happiness index.

Generally speaking, the monthly living expenses of a family of three are about 10000 baht, which is about 120000 baht a year, equivalent to about 1800 RMB per month. They can eat well, play well and have a good life every day.

Chiang Mai is a region with low prices in Thailand. Because of its developed agriculture and fruit cultivation, the prices of agricultural products and fruits are quite cheap. At the cheapest time, mangosteen in Chiang Mai, 2 yuan RMB can buy 3 Jin! Most experienced friends who have lived in Chiang Mai know that buying vegetables and fruits to the local people's living market is fresh and cheap. Ordinary fruits in Thailand, such as mango, litchi, longan, mangosteen, banana, watermelon, rambutan, etc., are usually 20-30 baht per kilogram, equivalent to more than one kilogram of RMB; The more expensive ones, such as durian, lotus mist and Sakyamuni, cost only 40-50 baht per kilogram, which is equivalent to one kilogram of 4 yuan. Most vegetables are per kilogram 10-20 baht, which is equivalent to more than one yuan per kilogram. Friends can find the vegetable wholesale market in Chiang Mai, which is so cheap. Meat and pork are about 120- 150 baht per kilogram, which is equivalent to RMB 12- 14 yuan, ribs are about 150 baht per kilogram, and beef is about 250-300 baht per kilogram. Meiji milk, Mead Johnson, Abbott and Wyeth milk powder are much cheaper than those in China. According to the daily consumption of one kilogram of milk, one kilogram of meat, one kilogram of vegetables and one kilogram of fruit by a family of three, it is about 300 baht. With the addition of other oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the monthly living expenses budget is 1 1,000 baht, equivalent to about RMB 1, 800 yuan. Travel expenses are about 40,000 baht a year, equivalent to about 7,200 yuan. If you buy a high-grade three-wheeled motor vehicle for the elderly, it will be meaningful without spending any money.

Renting a house in Chiang Mai costs about 200,000 baht a year, equivalent to about 3,000 yuan. This is already a very good housing, generally about 2000 yuan is enough.

Buying a house in Chiang Mai is generally 5000-6000 square meters, some are more expensive and some are cheaper, but renting a house with the money from buying a house is still more cost-effective. There are plenty of vacant rooms in Chiang Mai, and no one will go to real estate speculation. Of course, you can buy a house in Chiang Mai, Thailand if you have enough money. Since there is no property tax in Thailand, there are basically few other expenses after buying a property. A one-time investment of about 2-3 million baht is enough, equivalent to about 350-400 thousand RMB. You can choose to buy a two-bedroom or a three-bedroom villa. The difference is that foreigners in apartments can have permanent property rights, while villas only have the right to use for decades. In this way, the annual water and electricity property fee is about 20,000 baht, equivalent to about 3,700 RMB, which is about 300 yuan every month. The other is renting a house. If two old people have a child, they can go to Chiang Mai to study. Education in Chiang Mai is cost-effective, and the annual tuition fee of international schools is only 200,000-300,000 baht, which is more than half cheaper than that of domestic and international schools. At present, there are 8 international schools to choose from in Chiang Mai. Children receive international education in Chiang Mai since childhood, which is also an important choice for many friends to settle in Chiang Mai after graduating from high school.

There are other expenses, including visa (children can get an education visa to attend an international school, and a parent can take one child) for about 20,000-30,000 baht a year, and commercial medical insurance for 30,000-40,000 baht a year (more than 654.38 million baht per person). The above are basically necessary expenses. As for entertainment, exercise, fitness, clothing purchase, travel, etc., please take care of yourself because of the great differences in personal subjective preferences. Such expenses are 50,000-70,000 baht a year, which is equivalent to about 1 1 1,000 yuan. A family of three lives in Chiang Mai, and the basic expenses for one year (including children's tuition in international schools, including renting, traveling and entertainment) are 65-70 Wan Tai, which is about 12- 15000 RMB. In Chiang Mai, you will enjoy a comfortable life and a high-quality international education for your children that you can't enjoy at home for 300,000 RMB a year.

The above expenses are "high or low", and a simple pension of 3,000 yuan per month is very good. Of course, only if you are still in good health. If you stay in Chiang Mai for more than three years, you really can't afford to see a doctor and have no social security. The hospital can't control your life or death. After all, it is in Chiang Mai, not in the mainland. There are many foreigners who support the elderly in Chiang Mai. Many foreigners even "enjoy it" and don't want to go home. They regard Chiang Mai as their home. As for the language barrier, high school students usually stay there for a year and a half. After all, in such a language environment, it is absolutely no problem to learn the basic language of life. The safest way is to rent a house in Chiang Mai, Thailand for three or four months to see if you can adapt to local life. Thailand tourist visa is valid for 60 days, and one visa can stay for two months, once to return home and once to return home. After living for a few months, I feel good. If I make up my mind formally, I won't regret it. It is said that as long as you know local lawyers and friends, they have too many ways to keep you alive without going back and forth. Generally speaking, a livable city and a city suitable for providing for the aged are not the same concept.

In Thailand, it is best to have a few elderly people who get along well with each other as companions. There is a group where everyone can take care of each other and learn languages from each other. Not only can the cost be greatly reduced, but two nannies can take care of four old people and lead a more carefree life in their later years. Many family disputes can be out of sight, out of mind. This is indeed an option for providing for the aged.
