At 67, she spent $10,000 testing 4 Thai cities after a man took $32,000 from her. One city nearly cost her $6,000 more. The one she chose is not on any retirement list. 🇹🇭

At 67, Diane spent $10,000 and 12 weeks comparing Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Phuket and Udon Thani before deciding where to retire in Thailand. Two years earlier, a man she trusted had taken $32,000 from her. So she carried one question onto that plane: how do you choose where to spend the rest of your life when your own judgment has already failed you once?

In this video you'll see the real numbers, the mistakes, and the scoring system she kept in a spiral notebook:

🏙️ Chiang Mai: cheap, welcoming, and a smoke season nobody warned her about
🏖️ Hua Hin: the beach town where a friendly retiree almost talked her into wiring $6,000
🌴 Phuket: gorgeous, with the best hospital, and almost her entire income in rent
🏡 Udon Thani: the unknown city where everything changed on a kitchen floor
