it’s awesome! Cheaper that TH for me )and i was never a crazy spender), very friendly, open people, easy to get in touch with locals, sunny (depending on where you live) and yummy food.
It is, and as much as I love Thailand and my life there, at some Point I just had to choose a realistic, nice and sunny (and yummy!) option over my hope of returning soon.
For the first time in 3 years, not spending my winter in Thailand, same as my boyfriend. We decided to go to Mexico this year, it’s open to tourism, no requirements at all. Good measurements in place but no crazy panic.
Actually - I love it here and will see when I can afford to go back to TH. Still wanna go, but I think feeling extremely unwelcome all the time would get to me pretty quickly...
