What's some of the best places for Americans drawing a retirement check to move and live comfortably off of a smaller amount of income?
There are so many factors you have to figure out and figure out the lifestyle you want. What I like maybe completely different what you or someone else likes. I absolutely love Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Timor-Leste and Lao. The first thing you need to figure out is your residency status, that is the biggest issue. For example where i am ( Vietnam ) is extremely difficult to stay long term. There is no such thing as a retirement visa. You either have to work, get married or do "visa runs" I opened a company here so that gives me residency but I still need to renew it, foreigners leave in tens of thousands because it is hard to stay but if you can swing it, it is the best place to live. Thailand has a retirement visa, Cambodia and Lao are both easy to stay but with every single country you need to get your residency figured out. You just can't go to a new country and live, you need to figure out how you will stay there. Once you get that down, the rest is easy. I lived in Israel ( worst experience of my life, shit hole country ) , I lived in China, very very cool place but everything is difficult and not easy for foreigners. and Vietnam for 10 years. Anywhere in SEA is easy to live if you don't speak the language. Life is much better here than in America. If you ever want to have a serious talk about life here and the challenges one faces, send me a message and we can talk. I have helped a few people come here, I have connections for everything , including residency. As well as if you are looking for a wife :)

Helmets not mandatory I see.
Yes, it is a law to wear a helmet. But a lot won't wear them. Keep in mind, they only made drinking and driving illegal in 2020. Now if you get caught , you just pay a fine and you get to go on your way. Defeats the purpose, no impounding the car/motorbike and no jail, just pay some $ and drive off. I get pulled over a lot in my area, when I stay local I don't wear a helmet and they usually catch me.

Illini is it cheaper to marry a woman in her 60s I’m trying to save some money
Same price but there is no market for that. I am not able to help you there. I have 18-32 year olds. As I mentioned the process for western countries is a bit difficult due to visa issues. It is possible just a 2 year wait for Americans. I just had a guy from North Dakota marry a beautiful 22 year old.

It's songkran now in Thailand. But the friend I knew from many years wanted to meet an older farang (and she did) and now I came back home alone. Shit. I have to go somewhere again. When you start drinking you just can't stop suddenly, can you?

And flyingillini, you can find someone *sincere* from Vietnam, to marry. Because I agree with what you said, thai ladies (to be honest many of them not even pretty anymore, and nowadays fat too, thanks to mcdonalds, kfc and other American junkfood places that have found their way here).

If I wanted to marry somebody (or even be in a serious relationship) it would definitely be with someone who's from around here. Not any overweight white trash, who thinks she's special because of the white skin, but actually with someone who actually is acting like a lady, and also wants to show it.

I have never been into Thai girls. They are covered in tattoos, eat very unhealthy, and most of them have the "jungle look" in their facial features. Never been into them

You know I just met one of those tattooed thai ladies. She's actually a family with one thai woman I met before. But she has like 6 tattoos and is interested in Harley Davidson type of guys. God dammit. zero interest in it. I don't want any tattooed lady, just someone, who can be comfortable in their skin. I don't ask too much, so why are they looking for perfection. Perfection doesn't even exist (in this world)
