I want to move away from everyone and start new at almost 60. What should I do?

I moved to Thailand alone 11 years ago at age 56. I’m 68. It’s a tropical climate with endless summer, beaches and islands, vibrant and exciting cities. You can get a retirement visa which is permanent and renews every year. You have to show one year of monthly income into a Thai bank to qualify. You can come here on a 60 day tourist visa and make the change. The best decision I ever made in my life. Do some research on retirees in Thailand. Do some general research on the country and why it is a mecca for expats from all over the world. Research the culture, the people, the cities, the natural landscapes, it’s mind blowing and unbelievably cheap to live. I live in the heart of Bangkok and my apartment is $230.00 a month, I live nicely on $1700 a month social security.

Here’s the street leading to my own neighborhood.
