and if that’s your choice, don’t complain (I’m not saying you did…I’m not scrolling through to check) about the queues while talking about how much money you’re adding to the economy.
did you actually read the article you posted? It explains why Thais are in so much debt. Spoiler alert: It’s not due to COVID shutdowns. It’s been an issue growing over time.
tourists are not the same as farangs living in Thailand. They’re two completely different beasts. Meanwhile, I’m not sure how the submarines are relevant to this discussion unless you just want to vent. If the latter, have at it.
I’m following this with great interest. Ideally, I would like to live in Cambodia. However, I need monthly “medical treatments” (actually, an injection I do myself in the States, but I’ve heard I need to have a doctor do in Thailand) that, within SE Asia, are only available in Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore. So far, I only have the name of a Thai doctor. I had been planning to live in Thailand, but some of the changes in the last couple years have me thinking Cambodia is a better option. The medical is now the one sticky point. I’m arriving in Thailand hopefully in October and will do more investigation once there, but I’m very interested to see what other suggestions you receive.
