Is Thailand really as heavenly as some expats claim, or are there hidden challenges?

Paul *********

Well said. It's so refreshing to hear others sharing their love of the country. It's hard to believe there are many who leave their own country to live here only to spend their energy criticising the place.

Love Thailand as I've spent most of my last 20 years there.
