This is really on point, especially so for those of us who have been here a long time. 

 

I am quite content here and though it has been a long long time, when I did go back for visits, I missed my Thai family and friends.

I'm not one of them, but I'm sure some of the disgruntled expats would counter with "the Thailand I moved to doesn't exist anymore"...

This is also true... I was in places like Phuket in the 80s... I thought Samui was over-touristed in the year 2000 - I went to Koh Chang 2002 and 5 years later people told me it was not nearly the same... 

 

It makes travel often disappointing.

I have to agree with you on that. I've only been living in Thailand for 5 months but I'd prefer to never go back to the home country, and plan to die here. I am much happier and can actually afford to do more than just exist like I did back in USA.

I live 6 months a year in thailand..thats enough for me.Thats let me keep my benefits in my country.

I meet some foreigners who moved permantly to thailand,and many of them regrets the day they need help from their embassy in Bangkok.If u dont pay tax to ur country of origin dont expect they will help u.

agree - European summer in Europe, and winter in Asia... perfect compromise - best of both worlds.
