Seriously? Blaming the president for Visa rejection because you didn’t supply the documents required? Yes, I had mine denied too but I simply asked what documents they needed and gave them every bit they asked for. Boom! Visa approved.

It’ll help you learn to live more minimally for sure. Having done it for nearly 5 years already we feel like we’re prepared to move abroad and not miss so many “things.” We’ll still keep a small shed on some property we own in Arizona and we can keep some things in there but we’ll see after a year or so what we still want to keep and maybe bring back to Thailand at some point.

I just saw your other comment about eventually moving to Hua Hin. We really like that area and a bit further north in Cha-am. That breeze you get daily down there really helps make the heat and humidity more tolerable.

I’m curious if I’ll be able to bring a cutting from a very beloved family plant. Not sure it’s possible since I haven’t checked into it yet. But I hear ya on the attachment thing. My husband and I sold our house in 2019 to move into an RV full time and travel the US. So I’ve already purged a bunch of stuff. But I still have “stuff” I’m having a hard time thinking about letting go.

Excellent question! My husband and I are also from the US and planning to retire there later this year.
