I agree about the ED visa. It's not cheap because you are going to have to enroll in kickboxing lessons or a reak school that works with this program but your other option is getting married and having $20K savings.

agree with everything except for the name calling and telling people to leave the page part. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions. I’m with you and am fortunate to be in the same boat. But, not everyone has the same experience. A lot of it’s their own fault, some of it isn’t. We got lucky. Count your blessings.

Hey Greg,

I have married a Thai woman and we have a great relationship. We are partners, both work together and it's not always been easy but it's been good. However; I am in the minority. I made a video on Youtube about my friend from Australia. If you watch it, you will be better prepared. That being said, right now they are just letting spouces and family in. But, you could both meet in Japan which has favorable travel for Thais and Americans. Here is the video:

Yea, to be honest I have met so few expats that I would ever hang out with in my years of living in Thailand.
