It seems to me that before the First World War, borders as we know them today did not exist. And it would be a world that has become eutopian today to live without borders because the reality is very different.
But beyond these considerations, why does a person want to live like a recluse in Thailand, this country has many advantages but many increasingly serious defects and live in those conditions in secret always being afraid of being discovered until you are the first or afterwards you would be arrested, for me it makes no sense and it impairs my understanding.
