Located in Southeast Asia, Thailand is renowned for its Buddhist culture, tropical ecology, and thriving tourism industry. The capital, Bangkok, blends ancient cultural charm with modern urban landscapes, offering both excellent living amenities and abundant leisure and entertainment. Chiang Mai, the second largest city, boasts a historic and romantic old town, where a relaxed pace of life makes it a top choice for slow living and exploring history and culture. Island cities like Phuket and Koh Samui leverage their natural ecosystems to develop tourism, providing ideal destinations for those seeking a high-quality vacation.

To promote local economic activity, the Thai government has introduced a number of long-term residency visas, including retirement visas and privilege card programs (aka elite visas), providing foreigners with diverse options in terms of residency duration, living services, and family arrangements.
