If it’s senior-style resorts or retirement resorts you’re after, there are five primary locations you’ll want to investigate: Phuket, Koh Samui, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai.  If you prefer the ocean and beaches, the first four will suit you to a tee, literally: they are also golfers’ paradises.

On the other hand, if you’re more of a mountain person, who appreciates history, culture, religion, and the arts, you will find an abundance of retirement resorts in the Chiang Mai area, some close to or within the city, others in gorgeous mountain settings.  You will certainly find many places that meet your particular needs and tastes.
