I live in Sakon Nakhon, a small town called Kham ta kla. It is peaceful and quiet. No traffic, no rush hours.
I am retired so have a fixed income.
Every several weeks I go to a city either by the sea or chiang mai or udon Thani. I am enjoying my life.
My advise to you would be to not make a major decision for 1 year. Because you are unhappy in the west, doesn't mean you will be happy here. Happiness is a state of mind and has less to do with your location as it does with your inner feelings.
You have a good education and so you have tools that you can use anywhere.
Have fun and keep a good sense of being. Good luck to you.- 4

Uber is great in Chiangmai. Cheap as chips.

Don't miss the bird park. It is awesome.
I wouldn't let fear guide me. All you hear on media is printed to make you afraid. Don't see many headlines that Father John built an orphanage. Fear sells. Probably worse in New York City. The natives don't hate us because we haven't gotten around to bombing them into the Stone Age.....yet.

I know of a fellow who almost lost his hand fooling around with electricity at his home. Be super careful!

I really hope that all the callous vermin involved in this heinous crime are prosecuted to the fullest extent. It takes a special kind of evil to do this crime.

Some quick math, 5000 divided by 365
13.69 years. She looks pretty good for her age behind all the paint.

What a perfect product!!! You blow it up and you have to replace it. Planned obsolescence at its grandest. We were warned about the military and the war industry and we didn't take safeguards. Now we are gutting health care and throwing more money at the pigs in the trough. The masters of war are never it's victims, we send our children and sacrifice them to the Gods of War. The last US president who served in the military was G. H. Bush and he left office 25 years ago.
The USA is by far the biggest seller of weapons of destruction in the world and we are selling them to the highest bidder, no matter if they are war criminals or not.
But keep your eye on the tangerine clown, while the band plays on.

The average age of Thaivisa members is about 70, maybe the wrong forum. Now get off my lawn you young whippersnapper.

I think I will walk. Thank you

I opened an account in Bangkok Bank, Phang Khon and was given a union pay card and I asked for a Visa card as I travel to the states and Europe, was told I could no longer get one, this may be problematic if you go to the states and want to withdraw your money from your thai account. Luckily I have a visa from Bangkok bank that is good until 2021. Also I saw someplace where they don't give Visa cards to anyone over 68.

Uber is eating their lunch and it is as it should be, times change, They are major polluters on Chiang Mae streets and one of the reasons I moved on.

Wherever you decide to live in thailand you will find your way. You can live at a lot of different levels. I have a friend who keeps a room on the hill above Patong and pays 3000 baht a month, small but you don't need much. Plenty of Thai restaurants and food stands for very little money, Good luck, follow the path that brings you the most happiness. all you need to remember is to wear a smile and not to think that you are somewhere that things should make a lot of sense. Read culture shock Thailand. Also remember that your standard of living is miles above the average Thai and you may look like a meal ticket to some.
I am in Isaan and I have a farm, I am surrounded by a loving Thai family, we have reciprocal relationship. I help them and they help me. They work hard and will share in the profit of the farm. I don't feel taken advantage of, my wife family are not drinkers and they don't smoke. I thoroughly enjoy my life here and every once in a while I go to Chiang Mai, the beach, Bangkok or Bali. Love my life here.

I am a recent migrant from ChiangMai, I am in Issan with clean air and no traffic. I go and visit chiang mai now. for a few days every couple of months and enjoy it more. Do you miss me? that could be it.Nahhh.

I used to be jolly, but after missing a few meals, I feel morose. But I have lost enough weight to be a thinner guy who is not smiling!!!! I am still ugly though.

Went to Spain and Italy, Brought back nothing but Cheeses and Jamon, family developed a fondness for it, so didn't last long. Have it sealed.

I guess you have health care. Your taxes will go down if you are rich but your quality of life will suffer with the regulations giving you clean air and water are discarded. You get what you pay for and you are paying for the F-35 boondoggle. Remember 2008 and what was left to clean up after.

I was going to go back to the USA for 2 months, but when Trump "won?" the election I cancelled my mainland trip and will visit my daughter in Hawaii, for 3 weeks. After that I am not going back as far as I can tell, becoming a bonafide expat. Up at the farm with a secure gate and the world on the other side. I am 72 now and I will leave it to the younger folk to sort it all out.

Cut out carbs and sugar, I lost 25k in 6 months, eat cheese and fats it will sate your appetite and do be careful, you can damage your knees with the steady pounding and extra body weight.

I give her 15000 for herself and I pay for the food. About what a teacher makes a month.
