Financial independence figure in Thailand.

Hi all,

Eventually, when the time comes, my Thai wife and I (who currently live outside of Thailand) plan to retire or work part-time in Thailand — most likely somewhere relaxed like Chiang Mai or Hua Hin.

I’m curious: what are people’s financial retirement targets in Thailand? For example, assuming you can safely withdraw 4% from your stocks and shares portfolio, how much do you give yourself each month to live on comfortably?

I’d love to know what people perceive to be the figure at which you can comfortably “pull the trigger” on retirement in Thailand. Neither of us are materialistic and we generally dislike the whole “hi-so” way of living that some families aspire to.
