Oscar Wilde famously said that 'with age comes wisdom'. Fortunately for him, FB didn't exist back then 🤣🤣

no country (most people want to be in) has easy visa requirements. At least in Thailand you have some options. Ask a Thai person how hard it is just to visit the US?

I moved to Thailand with my dog 6 months ago. We had a very smooth transition with customs, no bribe or threat from anyone, we did have to wait awhile, and saw other people also take their pets without any issues. There are many animal lovers in Thailand, soi dogs and cats are still an issue but many many rescue groups work really hard to take care of the street dogs, they also help with surgeries and adoptions. The vets here are just as well trained and qualified as the US. My dog has lived in 3 different countries with me and he seems to love it here. Sounds like you had a terrible experience with your dog in Thailand, but I don't agree that Thailand is a place where all people treat animals poorly.

"The news are grim" in EVERY COUNTRY. The world is becoming more hostil and people with more mental health issues. My friends and family are afraid to go to schools and grocery stores in the states.

2 months is hardly enough time and experiences to share your words of wisdom. Surface interaction can all be great until a real situation happens and people start to show their true colors. In Thailand as well as other countries (speaking from experience of living as an expat in Europe for 5 years) Also Thailand is NOT a third world country. 🤦

It might affect you from getting certain long term visas in the future.

It was cheaper in Portugal but now with inflation in Europe maybe it's not that cheap anymore 🤷

@Sara *****

like this.

@Richard ********

not that cheap...vintage cheddar cost $7.00 per block. Twice as much as where I came from.

I wish I had brought some good cheese with me. They are expensive here, even the basic kinds. You should be ok, the worst they can do is take it from you. Though no one checked our bags or asked if we had anything to declare when we came in.
