If storage price is an issue, you will likely regret selling everything. Try LOS out for a year, then decide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
