Visit for Retirement Plan

10 years ago
I am from the US and I will be coming to Thailand in June 26--July 13. I will be traveling with my girlfriend. We want to explore the possibility of retiring in Thailand. A couple of years ago, I was in Phuket and Bangkok. I enjoyed the experience immensely. This June-July, we are planning to visit Phuket, Bangkok (briefly), then Pattaya and Jomtien Beach, then Cha Am District and Hua Hin District. We want to get some sense of what these areas feel like---even though we have a limited time to travel. Can anyone suggest cheap places to stay, preferably on the beach? We are not looking for western type hotels---just a small room to sleep. Also, I would appreciate comments on what would be valuable to see in Bangkok, Jomtien Beach, Cha Am District and Hua Hin District. We are trying to travel cheap, and we want to see the real country, what it is like to live there, not just see the tourist areas. also, I love the food, so (cheap) food suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!
