Not being nosy. If you can afford storage, go for it. Your vehicle should not sit for extended periods of time, however.

 

If storage price is an issue, you will likely regret selling everything. 

 

Try LOS out for a year, then decide.

Flat battery. I had a car sit for 12 mths before.

 

I dont need furniture i think. Can sell it. Tools are useful.

 

Car rego costs though. Hard choice. 

How long did u stay in thailand?

Been here 8 months. Came from Latin America, where I lived since 2002. Regret coming here now. Love the food, can't stand the language. A group of Thai woman sound like a murder of crows.

 

Probably go back to Mexico next year.

Come for 3 months.

 

You'll most certainly will enjoy it.

 

Don't bother bringing anything.

 

Sell it and buy what you need once you decide to move here permanently. 

 

You only live once.

Between Mexico and Thailand.

 

I would pick Thailand.

 

But your from latin America so maybe that's why?

Nope, I'm a yank. Travelled LA after I retired, like Mexico's west coast the best. Food is not great but I love the language, am fluent, and as long as you keep your nose clean and avoid problems, things are safe. Visas never an issue, either. 180 days, go back, get another. I used to go to Belize and Costa Rica often. Like Argentina a lot.

 

And the women....no comparison.

I agree.

 

I personally prefer petite Thai women.

 

Latin America women tend have more robust features.

 

Either way it comes down to personal taste.  

 

I miss Mexican food!

Yeah, lots of signs in Mexico: Curves Ahead. 

 

I like their fiery passion; unbridled and ready to ride. Just gotta know how to break 'em in, and learn to sleep on your stomach.

 

Thai women tend to be inhibited, and you still need to sleep on your stomach.

 

Your mileage may vary....

Married now with a family.

 

Enjoy your ride!

I thought you like taking a risk , just do it, I arrived here

35 years ago with a small bag, 2 trousers  2 shirts , underware ,

spare pair shoes,and a shortwave radio , had sold businesses,

property , the lot , gave wife half ,she deserved it, and set off

for Costa Rica , the long way round , ended up in Chiang Mai,

loved it and have been here ever since. don't regret a minute,

Thailand has been very good to me.
