Hello;
Re: “Resort complex to be built for long stay guests:
Thailand and Japan will join hands to build a resort complex on 1,500 rai of
land in the famous northern province of Chiang Mai to serve overseas long
stay guests. The project is part of a government policy to encourage
long-stay tourism, particularly in the senior citizen and retiree
markets.”
Please tell the people who had this idea about building a
place for Senior people to stay long term that it is the best idea they
could ever have.
All they have to do is come to USA and visit a few senior
citizens retirement communities and then use all those ideas when building a
long term senior community in Thailand.
I think maybe lots of USA seniors might want to stay in a
place like that in Thailand because Thai women are known for their
tenderness when taking care of sick people or normal people.
Also you could arrange for a different field trip maybe
once every one or two weeks and take people who want to go on short trips
all around Thailand just for fun.
I am age 55 and I live in a senior mobile home community
in California and it is a nice place to live, but I also remember my visits
to Chiang Mai and I really like your part of Thailand.
I might even become one of your long stay guests
depending on your prices.
I have thought of trying to do something like that before
but it takes big money to make that dream come true.
Make it a happy place to live and people will come. Maybe
have a Karaoke night once every week or more often if the guests want it.
Have local craftsmen teach classes for people who want to learn different
crafts or cooking, etc.
Let people vote on what the food menu they will be eating
every week.
Also it would be great if you had an indoor swimming
pool.
And allow the residents to go outside on their own or
assign a guide to go with them when the resident wants to go outside to
visit or shop or entertainment.
Arrange special long term visas for senior citizens who
might want to stay 1, 2 or more months.
If people can afford to pay for your services and you
make them happy, then they will want to stay permanently.
These ideas are straight from my mind as I am getting
older and need part time care and I love to travel and see and do new things
before I die.
I also believe there are many people who think the way I
do.
Also make your building just one story tall or have good
elevators with a back up generator, because older people have a hard time
trying to go up and down stairs.
Always have supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables
because they taste good and they are good for you. Never use cheap food to
save money.
Also have doctors give a check up examination to your
guests at least once every 3 months to prevent serious illness. Also have a
dentist do the same. Remember, the longer I live, the more money you make.
Also have an on site hairdresser, massage office, etc.
I for one could use a good massage 2 or 3 times every day
to promote better circulation and better health and to relieve my daily
aches and pains.
As you get older you get more pain all over your body and
a cheap way to help relieve this situation is exercise, hot tub spas, and
good massages. If that does not help, then get examined by a doctor and take
pain medicine.
Also have Internet classes and at least 8 or more hours
of open Internet time so guests can send their family and friends email.
I am sure I could think of other cheap ideas to help you
make your idea even better and better as time goes on.
The most important thing is to keep your guests happy and
well cared for all the time at a very reasonable cost.

I have been a member of the circus fans of America
association for about 45 years. There are only about 2500 of us now, mostly
“white hair”. Our motto is to fight anything that fights the circus. It
started when towns began to tax street parades. Our concern now is those,
not in the know, who are trying to ban all performing animals. I will not go
into the details of this now.
