Sure, why not.
I’m going to retire to Chiang Mai, Thailand in about 18 Months.
Nice country, but I’m going to avoid Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok.
khao sawy every morning for breakfast!
Chain Mai is nice but I like Bangkok too.
Thailand is really a pretty safe place.
You’re not going to even spend one night in Bangkok?
I’ve got my eye on Khon Kaen. But we’ve got relatives there.
BTW, the scariest place I’ve ever been on the side of the road was a few years ago on the Friendship Highway, between Khorat and Khon Kaen, when the airconditioning in our car broke down and the whole windshield was fogged during a driving rain storm. We were no more than 5 feet off the road, visibility even with a clear windshield would have been very limited, and monster trucks were whizzing past us every few seconds.
