I think your monthly income is too low to 'Move' to Thailand , you can get an entry visa at a local embassy or 'Visa on arrival in Thailand'
Cost of living is good and well within your $900.00 range , but will not stretch to a 'Nice apartment or condo'
Medical care is excellent , cost of insurance will vary a great deal on your current disabilities .
Why do you need to carry a gun ? Area to live? Dependant on your needs and mobility .
Learning the language , not easy unless you are gifted towards languages , but not too difficult to learn passable wordage to help you navigate.
There are more knowledgable people who subscribe to this forum who can advise you on the state of affairs in Thailand at this time , but this will at least put you in the picture . Colin
