The Problem

A lot of retirees
feel forgotten.

You worked your whole life, and now the routine that gave your days structure is gone. The culture back home doesn't prioritize community for older people the way it used to. You might be eating dinner alone most nights, and not know who to call if something goes wrong. That's not just uncomfortable — it's not the retirement you earned.

About
Reggie Cuffey

Hi, I'm Reggie.

I served 22 years in the military, so that world is all I knew. When my time was up, I came home, but home didn't feel like home anymore. People were rude — nothing like the respect I lived inside for two decades. What I didn't realize yet was I'd brought something else back with me: PTSD I didn't even know I had.

I talked to a friend, and he recommended Thailand. I'd been before, but never thought about living there. But this time was different — I landed, and I knew this was it. Everything slowed down. People actually showed up for each other. Back home, older folks didn't get out much, didn't explore, didn't really live — here, that's just normal. So I started building that for myself, and a few dinners turned into a real community.

Word spread. I've personally helped 35+ people relocate to Thailand, and that grew into a community of 500+ people living life on their own terms. Now I'm living my best years, and I get to help other people do the same.

Meet Nana

My Wife.
My Trusted Partner.

Nana Kaewyongkot — De Luxe 18 Real Estate

Nana is my partner in life and in this work. She handles the visa side of every relocation — the paperwork, the process, the details that overwhelm most people trying to do this alone. As Managing Director of De Luxe 18 Real Estate, she scouts areas, shows you condos, and handles lease and visa filings directly.

Between the two of us, you're covered from the emotional side to the legal side. Everything is taken care of.

Community

When you move to Thailand, you're not doing it alone — unless you want to be. I've built a community of over 500 people here. We meet every single Wednesday. You don't have to join. But it's there, whenever you're ready for it.

Giving Back

My Part in
The Bertie Foundation.

The Bertie Foundation

Thailand gave me my life back. The Bertie Foundation is how I give back to this country — because I don't just want to benefit from being here, I want to be part of it.

Because when a place gives you this much, you don't just enjoy it — you protect it. You pour back into the community, the people, and the country that made it all possible.

FAQ

Common Questions
Answered.

Because I've already made every mistake so you don't have to. I'm a 22-year Navy veteran who made this exact move myself, then spent years building the playbook — trusted visa contacts, vetted housing, and a real community — for the 35+ people I've personally relocated since. You're not piecing together advice from forums; you're getting a tailor-made plan from someone who's lived it, plus a crew already waiting for you when you land.
That's exactly what the community is for. You arrive into a ready-made crew of people who've made the same move and are living their best lives. Wednesday dinners every week, group events, and genuine friendships. Loneliness isn't part of the equation here.
Most of my clients live comfortably on $1,500–$2,500/month. That covers a nice condo, food, transportation, and entertainment. Couples often spend less than they were at home. Your exact budget depends on your lifestyle — I'll break it all down on the Roadmap Call.
The Relocation Roadmap Call ($299) is a 60-minute 1-on-1 where we figure out if Thailand is right for you — what city, what visa, what budget, what timeline. It's for people who want clarity but are comfortable executing on their own. The Done-For-You Relocation ($2,000) means I'm with you every step — from planning through landing, housing, visa, and getting fully settled. The $299 Roadmap fee is credited toward the $2,000 package if you upgrade.
It varies by person, but most clients go from first call to landing in Thailand within 2–6 months. The biggest variables are your visa type and how quickly you can wrap up things at home. We'll map out a realistic timeline together on the Roadmap Call.
Not at all. English is widely spoken in shops, hospitals, and restaurants across Thailand. You'll get along perfectly fine. That said, picking up a few basics is always appreciated by locals.
That's entirely your right — and it does happen. I'll never pressure you to stay. Most people who relocate with a plan and a community find the adjustment goes better than they expected. But if life changes, I'd rather help you make a good decision than a desperate one.
There are several options — the Thailand Retirement Visa (Non-OA), the LTR (Long Term Resident) Visa, and others. Nana handles the full visa process and will match you with the right option for your circumstances.
