Some expats move abroad mostly for positive reasons of attraction to the new country.

Others are more motivated by escaping from their home country (or wherever else they're living).

 

But there is no doubt that describing any country in ONE WORD is challenging and arguably silly, useless, and prone to stereotypes.

 

But that's the dare here.

 

Will you play?

 

The main ask is about THAILAND, but if you want to add your home country, even better.

 

Remember -- ONE WORD ONLY.

 

For Thailand ... 'Afterlife'

 

3 : a period of continued, renewed use, existence, popularity beyond what is normal, primary, or expected

 

For the Mother Land:  "Opportunistic"

 

USA, if nothing else, it's truly a Land of Opportunity ... IF ... YOU apply yourself.

 

You don't need a 'diploma'd' education,  rich roots, or large financial investment.

You can either retire at a very early age, or make a sh!t load of money.  UP2U

 

I hinted at this before but as this is a Thai forum, if you're going to play this at all, please give us your one word for Thailand and if you feel so inspired optionally add your one word for your home country.

 

But the main idea is about one word for THAILAND.
