Many pluses to Thailand. Fantastic food. Lovely people. Medicine. Cost of living. Technology. Relative political stability. Convenient and easily connected Bangkok airport.
Blazing tropical heat in the south, milder climes in the north.
The problem would be if too many Americans, and left-leaning Americans, moved there.
yeah, I was just talking to my friend in Thailand. he said DO NOT MOVE TO THAILAND. it is a dangerous place for americans, especially in the north. The pizza, burgers, and steak is causing massive health problems for expats. Stay away - you have been warned!!!
I love Thailand. The free market on steroids. Women driving mopeds with babies on their laps...1 person per square foot selling everything known to man!
