I do not want to create America. I just want to be able to chat with Americans from time to time. Especially when I first arrive. Getting knowledge from them would be helpful. Thats all. I do not celebrate holidays anymore, as I am 76, and most of my family lives in other states. I believe to each , his own. If someone wants to celebrate, that's fine. I am very open minded. When I am not at work, I enjoy my time alone. I have many Philippine friends here. Actually, in Florida, I have friends from all over. But I want to retire in Thailand. I want to explore the country. I have lived alone in Florida for the past 20 years. Be Afraid, I think not. What a weird answer. Sir..

I am going to Vancouver, stay two days to relax, then Am. airlines has a direct flight 9 hours to Bangkok.

I guess nasty hateful people are everywhere, not just in America.

You all have convinced me, I will rent from Airbnb for three months, and look around before I buy. I will hire a lawyer to help me with visa, banking, and when its time, to help me with condo purchase. I found a sea view place in Muang Pattaya to rent for $580.00 a month, for three months. It is on the upper floors. Thank you all for your input. You have been so kind to help me.

I wanted to stay below the 10th floor. That should be ok incase of floods?
