Guide to Living and Staying in Asia

This is a review of the “Retire to Asia” e-Book which is a guide to living and staying in Asia.

If you are looking for a way to get more enjoyment from your life via foreign travel to exotic countries but you only have average income, then this e-Book may be what you need.

The e-book explains a step by step formula for living a life of luxury in Asia for minimum expenditure.

You can learn how to enjoy mini-retirements where you spend a few months away from home away from the cold of winter or as a break from your normal routine.

Also, the e-Book covers the alternative to retiring poor and needing to do part time work to keep your head above water financially.

The author, Ken Silver has spent years travelling and living in Asia and has put together a Blue Print for how you can take what he learned and avoid the pitfalls to make luxury overseas living a reality, even when you are on a shoestring budget.

The book starts out with a clarification on all the reasons Ken considers Asia to be the most beautiful, exciting and friendly place on Earth.

Ken points out examples of how the very low cost of living allows you to make use of services such as laundry. Since it’s so cheap to get your laundry done for you, there’s no need to own a washing machine and do washing and ironing ever again!

Next, follows a section on motivation to escape the rat race and the daily grind of work and start living. He talks about the problem of traditional retirement and how the problems are only going to get worse and what you can do to escape from this trap.

Ken explains why Asia is a better choice for retirement than Central America and Mexico. He also explodes some myths about the pros and cons of choosing between the 2 areas.

Following this is a set of guidelines for how to retire, live, winter or just travel in Asia.

The cost comparisons with the USA may astound you such as hotel rooms for $4 or less. There are also tips on price bargaining when shopping.

Countries covered include:

  • Thailand
  • India
  • Cambodia
  • Vietnam
  • Laos
  • Nepal
  • Indonesia
  • Philippines

Also, countries to avoid are mentioned.

Other chapters include a guide to hotels and guest houses, and making money in Asia.

For people considering retirement overseas, there is advice on buying or renting homes and developing a social life.

In conclusion, this e-Book is a concise reference for anyone interested in learning about how to retire to a life of luxury or simply to get more out of their travels to exotic low-cost countries.

Thailand

In South-East Asia, Thailand is the number one tourist destination. This low cost country has something for everyone such as delicious food, warm sea with beautiful beaches, a safe and friendly environment. So it is of little surprise that people that were once tourists want to live in Thailand for longer than just a couple of weeks.

Countries of Asia

There are many countries within Asia since it covers 8.6% of the Earth’s surface so I will have to be a little picky as to which countries I write about.

The theme of this site is luxury living on a low budget so this helps with narrowing down the choices to places that English speaking people would want to live. Places that are popular tourist destinations and where the cost of living is low would be a good starting point. Also, places that are relatively safe and there is no war going on would be good too.

My thinking at the moment is to start with Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia. Later I can add other countries as the site grows and reader interests become clearer.

In September I will be staying in Phuket (Thailand) where I hope to take some nice photos to share here. I have been there before but I didn’t have a digital camera at the time. But I do remember having a great time snorkeling over coral reefs amongst tropical fish, riding an elephant, going for trips in fast boats and visiting the small island featured in the James Bond movie Gold Finger.

My flight from Japan where I am currently staying will only cost me about $400 and my accommodation is something like $18 a night so it will hardly break the bank. It’s actually work, since I need more photos and experiences to share on this blog.

I look forward to your comments.
