Gareth and Joanna are a young retired couple living in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.
Chiang Mai has been our home for many years now … and we absolutely love it. We think that you would also love it.
Joanna and I are able to spend a lot of time ‘living the dream’ with our hobbies as we both love travelling and photography.
We have our children of our old age, 2 beautiful and affectionate boys (cats), Milo and Monty who give us great pleasure.
Our aunt, Helga joined us a few years ago, and is also able to enjoy this wonderful and blessed life.
My parents, Martin and Liz retired here 16 years ago, and still say it was the best decision they ever made. They still enjoy full active lives, and continue to ‘live the dream’.
