Madagascar

[Mac Mickmanus]

Has anyone been there and how does it compare to Thailand ?

Would living there permeantly  be an option or is it to impoverished to spend any length of time there ?

[Thailand]

May help.

I doubt if it has better and modern infrastructure like Thailand.

Been there to see the lemurs. Can't speak to immigration issues, but it's a pretty empty place outside of the resorts. Like, a beer bar or a store every 20 miles. The main town is an unappetizing, typical African sprawl.

 

From my van window, it didn't seem terribly destitute. The lemur-viewing experienced is very compromised by too many lemur viewers. Beautiful place, the definition of a one and done.
