Retirement in Thailand: Reality Check over Riverside Lunch

Today we’re taking you on a casual riverside lunch outing to Paepohkaew Floating Restaurant, a once-bustling spot that’s seen better days post-COVID — but don’t let the aging décor fool you, the food here is still top notch. Chanya and her friend picked the location, and honestly, there’s something peaceful about dining over the Tha Chin River.

Along the way, I dive into a topic that’s been making waves in the expat world — “Does Thailand still want retirees here?”
Spoiler: Yes, they do — and calling us the “golden goose” might be more accurate than people think.

We also caught an amazing bit of river life — a massive barge expertly threading its way under the bridge. The physics and seamanship behind it were incredible. A small moment, but so very Thailand.

Thanks for joining us — as always, this channel is about the real rhythm of Thai life, and today was no exception.
