It is an absolute win for Western Europeans to live in Thailand in their old age

‌
In their youth, they obviously couldn't leave because they had to earn money.
But once they become elderly and receive their pensions regularly, there is no longer any reason to live in their home countries.
The cost of living in Western Europe is truly worlds apart from Thailand.
If the price difference between Korea and Thailand is about 2x, the difference for Western Europe is 4 to 5x.
Western European seniors usually receive a pension of around 2,300 [Euros],
but with that, they can barely just eat and live quietly at home in Western Europe.
There is no way they can enjoy expensive restaurants, get massages, enjoy nightlife, or play golf.
However, in Thailand, all of that is possible with that amount of money.
Korean seniors receive smaller pensions to begin with,
and if they don't engage in things like nightlife or massages, the cost of living isn't that different from Thailand, so the advantage is ambiguous.
But for Western European seniors, moving to Thailand is an absolute win.
There are already so many Western European seniors moving to Thailand for retirement.
You can see Westerners even in the most obscure, unheard-of Thai rural villages.
