ChiangMai has embraced no less then 10,000 foreign pensioners Who have made the decision to reside here permanently. But Chiangmai has many unresolved issues,including insufficient public transportation,public utilities and social assistance systems,which make it surprising that so many elderly foreigners--especially the ones from countries with better public service--have chosen to live here. However,we can't let the problems go unresolved any longer,because we do not drive foreign residents away.
