Sunshine International Expands as Thailand’s Top Retirement Brand 

Under Andrew Stocks’ leadership, Sunshine International is redefining retirement living in Thailand, offering luxury resort-style communities with world-class amenities for expatriates and retirees. 

Sunshine International, a leading retirement resort and residence provider based in Hua Hin, is rapidly expanding under the leadership of Andrew Stocks, a British entrepreneur with a vision to revolutionise retirement living in Thailand. 

Having lived in Hua Hin for 16 years, Andrew, 54, founded Sunshine International to address a gap in retirement living options. His inspiration stemmed from a personal experience with his grandmother, whose dissatisfaction with a traditional nursing home motivated him to create a hybrid model—combining the comforts of a luxury resort with essential support services for retirees. The concept quickly gained traction, evolving from a 24-resident resort into a rapidly growing brand serving hundreds of expatriates. 

“Retirement should not feel like a loss of independence or dignity,” Andrew said. “We wanted to create places that feel like hotels—offering services like restaurants, fitness centres, and 24-hour medical support—to ensure retirees feel secure and cared for.”

Sunshine Prestige: A Landmark Retirement Residence 

The company’s latest development, Sunshine Prestige, is currently under construction in Hua Hin and is set to open in 2025. Touted as Hua Hin’s most prestigious retirement serviced residence, the resort will feature: 

  • 56 private pool villas
  • 64 apartments and penthouses
  • 72 Oriental residences and suites 

Among its premium amenities are an international restaurant, spa, fitness centre, and 24-hour medical staff. Residents will also enjoy access to an executive lounge offering beverages and snacks throughout the day. Designed as a ‘lifestyle investment’, Sunshine Prestige promises a seamless blend of luxury, security, and community for retirees seeking an unparalleled living experience. 

Expanding Across Thailand 

Beyond Hua Hin, Andrew envisions Sunshine International expanding across Thailand, with new projects planned for Chiang Mai and Pattaya. As Thailand continues its rise as a top global retirement destination, he aims to provide retirees with the option to live in the cities they love while maintaining the high standard of service and care that Sunshine International is known for. 

“Thailand has so much to offer retirees—from its warm climate and affordable cost of living to its welcoming culture,” Andrew said. “We plan to build more resorts over the next seven years to meet the increasing demand from overseas retirees moving to Thailand.”

A Commitment to Excellence 

Despite the challenges of managing operations across cultures, Andrew credits his team’s adaptability and dedication for the company’s success. 

“I love to set challenges that scare me—because if they don’t, they’re not big enough,” he said. 

Andrew believes that the market for retirement living in Thailand is just beginning. With Thailand’s appealing lifestyle and competitive property prices, more expatriates are choosing to retire in luxury serviced residences that offer both comfort and security. He predicts that Sunshine International will expand to include three to four more resorts within the next seven years. 

Setting a New Standard in Retirement Living 

Sunshine International’s unique approach has resonated with retirees worldwide. The company offers both rental and ownership options, catering to a diverse international clientele. By blending luxury, service, and care, Andrew has redefined the standard for retirement living in Thailand—creating communities that support and inspire residents in their golden years.
