Squat toilet is healthier for the body, as it’s our body’s natural way to go to the bathroom. But it’s also more uncomfortable and uncivilized looking than western toilets. Most Asian homes don’t have those anymore, only public restrooms. I can see how it’s a scary way to go if you’ve never done it.

@Jim *******

let’s see if it actually last 5 years, and if it’s renewable after 5 years. The Thai government loves to change rules…🧐

Someone said you have to show proof of residency like a lease or utility bill from the county you reside in.

@Glenn ****

that was my understanding but everyone jumped on my throat saying it’s multiple 180 days within 5 years😒

@Tore ********

I totally get it 👍

I thought most major cities nowadays have great internet speeds. Maybe just me, but good internet speeds wouldn’t be on my top 10 list of reasons to move to Thailand…

Internet speed? Haha that’s funny if someone actually moves to another country for their internet speed…Try culture, weather, beaches, food, low cost of living, safer than many Western countries with more laidback lifestyle.

You don’t need a visa to visit Thailand as a US citizen. Thailand is very foreigner friendly country. You do need some cash, not all places take cards. Most Thai people use their phone app to pay but you won’t be able to because you won’t have a Thai bank account. Sim/data cards are easy to get at . Foods are plentiful and affordable. Download grab or bolt for car service, it’s more convenient and safer than taxis. Show respect to the people, the culture and the temples. Wear clothing that cover up, I’ve see too many westerners wear inappropriate clothing at temples. Thai people show respect by putting their hands together and bow. Thank you in Thai is: kop khun krap(if you are a man) kop khun ka (if you are a woman) oh and don’t drink tap water under any circumstances.

If you are happy living your own life, you wouldn't care about what others do. Apparently so many of you guys are quite unhappy 😭

You should at least start reading some news about Thailand and the new rules and regulations on businesses, if you are seriously thinking about moving here and opening a business...sounds like you are just trolling and probably will never move here or open any businesses 🤷
