not everyone in Thailand grows up in poverty ππI've seen a lot more areas in the US poorer than Thailand and there's many nice places and people living well here ,the days are over of blowing that US trumpet ππ»
but life ,safety and happiness is far better in Thailand ,the US no longer has the pull to asians it had years ago ,if they could go work anywhere now they would choose Germany,UK ,Dubai all above the USπ
I'm retired at 53,so I can't show working online and no income ,only savings that I live on,so does that make DTV Vida impossible to get and retirement visa better option ?
many countries are like that ,I lived in Cambodia for 14 yrs and it's way worse and then in Indonesia for 3 yrs and drove all over the islands and they are awful and the roads terrible ,I find Thai Roads very well organised ,as good if not better than many European roads,but yes the bad drives ,and that's not all,are very bad but still better than so many other countries ,but at least the road system here is very good π»
Your thinking is way too deep,you probably listen to too many podcasts/social media and conspiracy theories ,your giving yourself unnecessary headaches ,"life is short",so keep it simple. It's an interesting world and humans are just animals that occur all the complications of survival,so travel to enjoy ,not to complicate ,there is good and bad in every country and every person ,I've travelled the world and the Thais posses probably the best happiness and completeness of any of the cultures ,it doesn't make them perfect,as there's no such thing ,but there's no need to come here looking for problems ,when there's so many positive things here ππ½πΉπ
