Thailand is a wonderful place to visit, but it is wearing
on the nerves and the heat is oppressive. I had friends living
there who I visited. They were worn out by the time they moved
back to the states. Nearly all of them had been through being
sick or just flat worn out by the noise and heat. They were
missionaries and took in abandoned children in an orphanage.
The northern part...or the southern beaches are probably the
most livable. Ching Mai is wonderful...as are Pataya or Puket (sp).
Where is he going to live?
I am not 100% certain. I Think it was near Phuket, but more rural.

The world over, we tend to up the ante for visitors.
You saw what happened today with the 2 couples in somalia.
Texas is way better.
