Thanks to the sane and respectful answers. It's good to see there is at least one more real response over the troll responses. No idea why losers stroll through here all day to make fun of people. What sad lives.

Tourist Visa is 60 days and not difficult to get. Visiting is only 30 days. You need a visa.

You need to be CERTAIN that you like Thailand and the available food and healthcare and getting around. Just because it's a cheaper life doesn't mean you will love it. Also, if you are not used to excessive, constant heat then you may want to look elsewhere.

Nicholas Softley Or old men who assume anyone younger is dumb. There was an older guy that was making fun of a question on the rise in electric bills in Bangkok, which I noticed as well. And he thought it was as simple as "you morons, you lay for what you use. To pay less, use less." But I pointed out to him we all know that which is why we don't ask about the rise in bill every month. We ask when it's unusual and this is how we learn by observing. He was like "ah, never thought of that". People who can't see beyond simplicity sometimes miss the nuances of a legit question.

I wish these pages could automatically delete any member that does a laugh emoji at a legit question about a visa issues...WHICH IS WHAT THIS PAGE IS FOR! What are you people, like 5 years old? We all know you are the smartest of all time. We get it...

@James ******

Exactly. I don't even look at them very long. I leave them completely alone. They usually mind their business. In Pattaya I had a whole pack of them follow me to my car though and the leader was barking. I was ready for a fight that day. Luckily they gave up.

Did you approach it or try to touch it? The ones in my area are like people. They will roam around you but like to be left alone. I try not to interact with them.

@Paul ******

Yes, this is another concern 😅

@Vinny *************

Yes. I am American and I can never imagine driving here. Scares the life out of me.

@Martin ********

I keep warning my wife she will need to chill when she drives in the US one day. If she drives like she does here she will piss a lot of people off. 😅
