Why do expats choose Thailand as their place to live, work, or travel?

Hi guys, I’m her teammate and I want to ask you something too.

My post still doesn’t get approved, so I decide to comment a question instead.

Here’s a question : What do you think about Thailand’s Visa inquiry?

Thank you for helping me, I’m really grateful.

I have holidayed in Thailand for twelve years, the last five years have been for nine months of the year

The people are so friendly and welcoming.

The last few years I have seen the smiles diminishing as the strong Baht has kept thousands of tourists from making the journey.

Also the country has been run by the military, this was put in place by their late king whom the people worshiped.

The appointed new king, who took over when his father died in 2016, spends so much time out of the country, the people are naturally annoyed at him trying to rule Thailand whilst living in Germany, this has added fuel to the present unrest in Bangkok.

My Thai partner who lives in Thailand has told me that suicides are at an all time high, mainly males who are unable to find any work to support their families

Tourism is the main industry in Thailand

Tourism creates so many jobs for these poor people who rely on the industry

Until the King accepts his responsibility for the running of the country I'm afraid Thailands tourism will be carry on going down.

When I first went there 12 years ago the Baht was 68 for £1, now you're lucky if it reaches 40 to £1

The corrupt police force is another factor in the downturn of tourism

Personally I adore Thailand, but even a blind man on a galloping horse can see the days are numbered for Thailand to get anywhere near to thriving country I experienced just over a decade ago

I still hope to get out there in the very near future, but I'm also glad to know I have my home in the UK, just in case

I came here first on the QE2 in 1985 working ship went to pattaya and i hated it and vowed never to come back.

3 years later my friends brother dissapeared from contact only a vague letter he was on an island off Phuket.

Eventually found him on Koh Yao Noi and fell in love with Phang Nga bay. Love the quirks of Thailand

Ive lived in northern Thailand since 2014. Originally came here as an intern for an English Digital Marketing company and stayed after the 4 months was up because:

* I fell in love (and still am)

* I bought a condo which was great value

* I felt a freedom like I had back in Australia in the 70s

* I needed to learn to relax and stay calm and stop focussing on work

* I wanted my money to go further and not get eaten up in stupid taxes (like in Australia)

* I could take a day off and goof around and not feel guilty

* I wasn't constantly worried about money as the cost of living is low

* I wanted a simple life

Thailand is far from perfect. But I feel I've added another 20 years to my life by moving here.

Came on holiday, stayed. Refreshed at how although there are laws for everything like every country here most of it is ignored and folk just get on with life. Not a police state like so many places like USA and Australia with UK trying to catch up.

I came to Thailand because I wanted to leave my home country (USA), I wanted to explore the world a little and Thailand had the best prospect of support myself. I taught for a couple years then started working online. I like Thailand. I am always happy to return to Thailand, people here are great. So now I stay in Thailand and travel the region. Covid has restricted travel, but Thailand is still better than the US.

I didn't choose it. It chose me.

Can you tell me which project and why..

I looked at the list of insignificant developing third world countries scattered around the globe and picked this one.

Once you get past these peoples' aberrant behavior pawned off as 'culture', it's not too bad a place to be..

Believe me, there are far worse places.. :O :P

Warm weather people love motorcycle ..

What's the project?

Ladies 😂😂😂😂

Wonderful Country, great People. You show respect and you receive respect. Nobody hassles you and I love to smile and the Thai People Love to smile. My Wife and Beautiful daughter. To many more reasons to list. All positive.

i suggest when you go there avoid foreigner just stick with thai you will learn fast

My wife ,the culture ,weather the people rich in tradition and strong beliefs, the peace also I like the open minded non judgmental atmosphere. I would Rank Thailand as a Dream destination

Nice weather, low taxes, nice people.. Thought I'd.try my hand at teaching but man oh man. Not easy dealing with bosses.

One of The 6 Countries That i went to in my round the World Trip and Main Goal was to Dive /Snorkel with Whaleshark And Thailands Phuket Patong Delivered this Within a Week of Being in the Country Totally Out of The Blue and Was Then Captivated by Similan and Surin Island That why and On My Return to Uk Work Said any off Could Live Anywhere in the World we Wanted to do and Would pay for the Flights as Well SOLD

Via working in Cambodia, then worked, in Thailand for 4 years. Married to a Thai... Busy with a UK spouse visa application 🔧😢¥€$... For her, to come here, where l now work & live.

The Thais hate farang you will always be second class and if you are ever in dispute with a Thai don't bother you will never win.

It's a land of opportunity, if you know how to navigate around the downsides and bureaucracy.

I rest my case !

The ladyboys !

It came naturally....1 week holiday...1month holiday....3 month unpaid leave...etc...etc

Not so much a choice as more of a continuation of a "good" lifestyle

Fresh fruit and food in abundance.clean air .lovely people

I met my wife on Thai cupid and fell madly in love with her. I'd live in Siberia if thats where she was !!!

Amazing weather, food, people, culture, religion/philosophy, nightlife, cost of living, opportunities, health care facilities... Did I mention the weather and food 🤩🙏🏽

No cold weather, cost of living, good food, easy travel,
