I was born and grew up in Germany with turkish roots. In the beginning of Covid (June 2020) I had enough of the nonsense and left Germany, bought an apartment in Turkey and planned to live there.

Came to Thailand end of December 22 just to stay 3 months. Somehow I bought the 20 year elite visa and am stuck here 16 months already. I like it here but also miss a lot of things I love about Turkey.

Considering to purchase a condominium here in Thailand and living here during the European winter. But I can’t imagine staying here forever. It never feels like home, you’re always a stranger/farang here because of not looking Asian, while in Europe or any other western country it feels more like “home” because you look like most foreigners and most traditions and style of living is similar.

Hope it makes sense.

in 16 months here and still don’t know

All the same. In the profile they writing “looking for true love” and when you ask “how much” they reply with 1500 baht 😆 Others date a new foreigner every week to get freebies and stay in nice condos.

Elite Visa is cheaper than girlfriend/marriage.

If you apply for an elite visa it can be a problem. They can reject you even for one day. They stating that if you have overstay, don’t apply for the elite visa.

Just do border bounce from Bangkok to Cambodia and back with a visa agency service. 12 hours. 3500 baht. You get 30 days and can extend another 30 days for 1900 baht.
