10 Best Countries in the World to Retire
10. Thailand Some people may want to stay relatively close to the US when they retire, perhaps sticking to similar time zones or prioritizing places with nonstop flights for family visits. But then there are those who really want to get away. Enter Thailand. The Southeast Asian country is by no means an easy hop from home, but therein lies its appeal—well, that along with incredible cities, kind people, and some of the best beaches in the entire world. Bangkok is a lively and frenetic option for retirees wanting to speed up, not slow down, their pace after moving abroad. The city's culinary scene needs hardly any introduction (Michelin-starred street food!), nor does its abundance of museums and temples. Chiang Mai is a nice option for city amenities with slightly more laid-back vibes. But really, you'll feel right at home no matter where you decide to live. Per the Thailand-based editor at International Living, 'Even after 25 years, it still amazes me how I've been accepted here.' Cost of living: You can get a lot for little in Thailand—as low as $1,700 per month overall. Of course, that depends on the type of housing you want. Three-bedroom homes in the suburbs of Chiang Mai start as low as $600 a month, while ultra-luxe condos in Bangkok with pools and 24/7 security jump up to $1,800. But with $12 internet bills and cheap groceries, you'll still be able to pinch pennies without even trying. Healthcare: The quality of Thailand's hospitals rivals (and often exceeds) anything you'll find in North America, and you can often walk in to see specialists without even booking an appointment. Expats don't qualify for public health insurance, so many either pay out of pocket or get private insurance plans for around $400 per month. Visa requirements: Thailand has two long-term visa options: The Non-Immigrant 'O-A' Visa lets you stay in the country for up to one year, with a possible one-year extension; and the Non-Immigrant 'O-X' Visa is good for five years, with a possible five-year extension. For O-A, you must have 800,000 Baht (approximately $24,745) in your bank account, or a monthly income of at least 65,000 Baht ($2,010). For O-X, you'll need 1.8 million Baht ($55,675) in your account and an annual income of 1.2 million Baht ($37,117). Both visas are only available for non-working people aged 50 and over. Dazzling beaches, world-class cities, and $9 healthcare—what's not to love? Originally Appeared on Condé Nast Traveler

Elise opens in Midtown: French-Italian food, creative cocktails and art-lined walls
The acclaimed chef behind Michelin-recognized Lyla Lila is breathing new life into one of Atlanta's most underappreciated spots for a sit-down restaurant. Driving the news: Elise, Craig Richards' new French-Italian restaurant facing the High Museum of Art, is now open. Zoom in: Located in the former Table 1280 space, the restaurant is serving up small plates (scallop crudo with melon and bronze fennel), pastas (tagliatelle with rabbit ragu) and entrees (halibut with ginger beurre blanc). Desserts include housemade gelati and sorbetti, a chocolate mousse punctuated with za'atar, and more. The wine menu favors French labels "from celebrated appellations to lesser-known winemakers bringing fresh perspectives to traditional styles." Look for a curated vermouth menu and creative cocktails from beverage manager Eric Potrikus. The look: Designers Smith Hanes Studio lightened up the Renzo Piano-designed space with brighter wood floors and added red and green colors to contrast with museum white walls.

Michelin-star chef created a burger for cats — but people are loving it, too: ‘Absolutely delicious'
Who would've ever thought that cat food is actually tasty? A Michelin-starred chef has created a burger made out of the stuff you would usually only serve to your kitty cat — and apparently, it's good. Alice Ostan is a renowned chef and animal lover who worked with London-based cat food brand KatKin to create a cat food burger — yes, you read that correctly. Advertisement The unexpected concoction might have you scratching your head, but based on how it's made, it does sound appetizing. Ostan took cat food mix — which consists of meats usually served to cats — shaped it into a patty form and then coated it in panko breadcrumbs before throwing on a cat food topper. From there, the chef smothered the burger in creamy ricotta, parmesan cheese, a lemon spread and KatKin's smoky bacon jam, according to What's the Jam. Advertisement 3 No one could ever suspect that this burger has cat food in it. Jam Press To look like the real carnivore deal, the chef served the kitty cat burger on a ciabatta bun with lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber and a drizzle of hot honey. Some lucky folks got a chance to try this cat-inspired patty — and they couldn't stop raving about it. Many said if they blind-taste tested it, they would've never 'guess[ed] this burger was made from cat food.' Advertisement 3 The brand prides itself on making cat food using real meat. Jam Press 'It tastes just like the meat I buy for myself,' raved another fan. 'Absolutely delicious,' said someone else. It's unknown at this time if this cat burger will ever make it onto a restaurant menu for the masses; however, there are several restaurants around Manhattan where customers can snag a delicious off-menu meat burger. Advertisement An upscale West Chelsea restaurant and members' club, the Crane Club, offers 12 burgers each night that are only served for half an hour from 5:30 to 6 p.m. — no substitutions allowed. 3 Hungry customers who got a chance to try this burger raved about it. Jam Press Caviar Russe is a fancy Midtown seafood restaurant that also happens to serve a tasty burger. 'My mom expressed she was really craving a burger to my dad, and not even to the server directly,' Caroline Maggs, 27, said. 'The captain, and now good friend, John, must have overheard us because about 25 minutes later, there was a small off-menu burger on a plate in front of her. She said it was one of the tastiest things she has ever devoured.' Society Cafe, a restaurant inside the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village, is another spot with exclusive burgers. The joint only makes four to six standout burgers each night. 'It's truly a labor of love,' Executive Chef Nicholas McCann said. 'It's not something we can produce in larger numbers without compromising the quality.'
