Someone once said to me that if they were gonna set up a Communist state, they would use Australia as an example

yes

the King maybe the only person who could legitimately solve this current deadlock impasse; the majority would respect his decision; Whatever that may be.

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.

what you’re asking is a very individual thing; everyone has their own unique reasons for leaving their own country and travelling halfway around the world to start up camp in an unfamiliar situation.

I landed in 2014 and find that most people are here because of dissatisfaction with their home country; rather than a sense of adventure and challenge.

Whenever I needed to, I've always used an agent. And I've never had any problems.
