Do you have kids? If not and of you're above three coins (I suspect you are) you're ready latest next cycle.

Plus you could always start working part-time at a dive shop or teach English. It's what I did when I lived there. Pays the rent

Don’t have kids which makes things more flexible

Damn you lived there?! It’s just so risky in the minds of mainstream narratives. Guess I’ll have to pop through that bubble one day

Yes that was like 25 years ago. I guess a lot has changed since then in Thailand. Back thenmy Condo in BKK cosy me like $200/month and street food was like 20-25 baht.

But it's probably still a cheaper place than most western countries and the country, the people and the food are just awesome.

Maybe take a longer vacation there before making life-changing decisions? The #siamstr community could probably help you settling in when you do decide to live there.

One thing I can say for sure, some of the best time in my life was my time in Thailand

Been to Thailand one year ago, it’s a wonderful place. Going back in March

Favorite place on earth

Hi I'm native Thai living in Chiang Rai, Thailand north-west of Chiang Mai. A good private house/condo for rent in a city maybe 150-300$ a month and can be 1000$++ in some area, food aren't expensive here you can have good cheap meal for 2$ to luxury 5 star 1000$ a meal at the same street🤣 please feel free to ask #siamstr when you have a visit 🚀

I’m visiting Chiang Mai in March

Looking forward

Thailand is my favorite place on earth

What mainstream narrative? Don't listen to folks who don't know what they're talking about. People who write articles rarely have real-world experience.

The world is far safer than it's made out to be.

You’re right! I just mean that you’ll get looked at as crazy if you quit your job and move to another place
