Publisher's summary

Retired Way Out There: My Evolving Life on Koh Lanta Thailand is the story about how I came to retire on Koh Lanta, a small island in southern Thailand. The book covers my discovery of Koh Lanta two decades ago, and how I made the decision that I wanted to retire there. It includes my many trips to Koh Lanta and my transition from a tourist to a local expat. It discusses getting a home on the island, life during the pandemic restrictions, and the discovery of so much more that changed the direction of my life. I went from a techie who worked 24/7 to a writer and garbage artist who worked her own hours, on her own terms.

The book is entertaining, fun, and informative. It deals with everyday life. I take you on my journey through the challenges and decisions one faces when they retire far off the beaten path in a foreign country. A must listen for anyone considering retiring far from home. It's all good!

Fascinating

I lived in Thailand in 2019 for a year, left the country JUST as the pandemic was starting in February 2020.

I watched Thailand area YouTubers and read as much as I could about the situation there but never fully understood what was happening on the ground, in the smaller villages and beach areas. This book tells the stuff you didn't know you didn't know about that time period and living there as an expat.

Yes, this story is fascinating, especially if you have ever lived in SE Asia and Thailand in particular.
