Popular Post bkk6060 Posted July 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) It is 12,000 expats to establish the rankings of the 53 best places. They must mostly be from the US because Mexico is a crime ridden dirty dump from my visits. And, the major tourist areas are US prices or more, much more expensive then Thailand. I would never live in Mexico or even visit it for that matter, I think it is a filthy poverty stricken corrupt dangerous hole not even close to what Thailand has to offer.

Would be enough if the government would do a lot less against ex-pats. The Visa could be made a lot better in a 1 hour brainstorming meeting....there is so many obvious things.

From the sad emoji, I can guess that there is at least one Internations member out there. Neck beard and craft beer at the ready, although a few years on, I bet he can no longer fit into his skinny jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
