I married a Thai girl last year and we're just finishing up building a custom 3 bedroom 2 bath house for around 50k, all top of the line materials, it looks like a resort in the eyes of the other villagers. No plans to live there yet but would like to someday, my mom is in her 80's now and there's no way I can leave now .
I've been to Thailand several times and the dollar goes really far there, you can rent a house for $200/mo, eat for $1 a meal, and see a doctor or dentist for a small fraction of what it costs here.
I have a friend in his early 50's with no sight of retirement, took him with me to Thailand last year and now he would consider living there, he could leave his job today and get a $2000 pension and he'd be living like a king there
Living overseas would make FIRE possible for a lot of people
