I have lived on the beaches around Thailand, but I enjoy visiting them for holidays now, more than living there permanently, as I get older I do not have the drive to kayaking, diving, climbing as much I used to do and I never was rhe guy lying flat out at the beach.
I still like to work tho, so my options is better back home where I come from, as well fishing and picking Wild berries and mushrooms.
Quality food is an another reason why I choosed to relocate back. It is not only a few things, it is the whole package adding up.
