Ok. I get it. But unless his expenses at home cause him to use his savings to survive he still better off where he can actually have an income. I live in Australia unfortunately and my dream is to come and live in Thailand permanently, but without the ability to earn an income there, as much as the cost of living is way cheaper, I will only be able to sustain myself as long as my savings will last
Exactly! That's why I don't get why people are in such awe to why they do it. They are smart! They know that Thailand is highly popular amongst expats so they capitalising on it!
