I’ve just qualified for federal employee minimum retirement age this year, my second retirement, I’m already retired from the US Army back in 2005. Now I just have to convince my wife that it’s ok for us to move back to Laos!

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like you’re setting yourself up well! Good luck, and depending on the time of year and places you visit it may not be hard!

@bohouston1 5 месяцев назад

@@retire_recharge_roam We’re planning to visit this October, it’s going to be our second visit since we left Laos. As for above comments, wife and I had discussed about moving back to Laos when we retire but she seems not convincing yet.

@wonglee2283 5 месяцев назад

I came across your channel. Are you guys from USA? In Laos, they build houses with din chi or din bok. I heard you mentioning drywall like the US. Did you build yours with drywall?

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

Good observation! I may have mis-stated. We used Gypsum board for the ceiling, and standard concrete block (din bok) for the walls, with a special heat shield cooling paint for the exterior and interior. The drywall I mentioned was used for the ceiling.

@TheAmericanDreamOk Месяц назад

How much did you purchase the land for and how many acres ? How do you get water and electricity ?

@retire_recharge_roam Месяц назад

Size of land is about 1.5 hectares. Prices for land now are all over…depends on location, proximity to utilities/roads, etc… We have a well for water, and electricity is run from the nearest main road.

@japoncae7211 5 дней назад

I couldnt see the land price sir

@retire_recharge_roam 5 дней назад

Hi there. Size of land is about 1.5 hectares, and original asking price ~10 years ago was about $35K USD. Prices for land now are all over…depends on location, proximity to utilities/roads, etc…

@bounthavynonginthirath1917 6 месяцев назад

How much did you pay for the Isuzu Trooper ?

@retire_recharge_roam 6 месяцев назад

How is the mosquito situation? Any other bugs, reptiles and snakes in your area?

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

Mosquitos can be a nuisance at dawn and dusk, but I’ve been in areas of the States that seem far worse. Lots of tree frogs, red-headed lizards, geckos. Have seen the occasional tree snake in the bamboo. We did have an encounter with a cobra recently that was startling…but I don’t expect we’ll see one again. We came across a centipede one evening in a neighboring village. Oh, and flying termites closer to rainy season are pretty weird!

@AI_Tmong 5 месяцев назад

Is the property under your name?

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

No I don’t own property in my name, since I’m not a Lao citizen.

@AI_Tmong 5 месяцев назад

That's what I've been told. That's a tough one. Hopefully not as difficult than Thailand.

@shanerock762 6 месяцев назад

Wow, that's hella cheap

@retire_recharge_roam 6 месяцев назад

There are paths for all budgets…ours was on the lower end, but took tons of time buying our own materials and managing the build!

@baihum8861 5 месяцев назад

One thing is Missing it's a pool bc Laos constantly 🔥🔥🔥🔥 pool would be awesome

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

You are right. This time of the year it is very warm!

@nyiamnkawgsaiv9748 5 месяцев назад

I heard rumors that Foreigners can’t buy land and properties in Laos. Please advise..

@retire_recharge_roam 5 месяцев назад

I’m not an expert in real estate, but I think there are provisions for “owning” condos under long term leases that are granted. As far as I know, Private land ownership is not allowed for foreigners…needs to be registered under a Lao citizen’s name.
