Leaving Thailand 2024

[Hummin]

I'm surprised "I'm coming" have so few votes. If this was 10 years ago, I believe that one would been much higher.

Very interesting thread ,thankyou to the OP

I guess we all have our choices why we don't live in Thailand 

Some go back to their home country for medical reasons eg free health care etc 

Some just get bored at living in Thailand and doing nothing all day and prefer to visit a few times a year 

Some still have family in their own country they can't leave it friends 

Or belong to social groups 

 

Some live in government supported housing and were they to give that up they won't get again

I had not planned on but now the United States has been returned to a patriot President, Trump, I just might return and bask in the glory.

What is different between "American type " & "Australian type" ???

What I saw in California Americans are very tense. They worry all the time.

They also have good reason to it: of 20 Cards in accordion wallet only 1 has something left to use. Rest are permanently full tilt... and 30% interest running 24/7. Cash? Only one torn up $ 20 bill "in case". Of what?

 

Aussies? They come relaxed, smiling and rent V8 Hot Rod at LAX. Put top down and let it rip! Every light is like LeMans start. They enjoy life. Hell to worry how to pay the trip later!

Only thing they ever complain "No Vegemite", what ever that poison is.

That's a valid reason

Healthcare in Thailand is one of the best

hummin doesn't do clickbait. 

 

Why then does he link it to his YouTube channel? YouTube is click bait.

The OP is not about " A discussion about the pros and cons of living in Thailand"

No. It has a sinister title - Many foreigners are leaving Thailand

So, immediately you think - Now what? Tax? Poor education? Immigration whims? The heat? Corruption? Bangkok traffic?

As I said:- We've been discussing this since ThaiVisa heydays.

But it cost a fortune when you have free (paid by tax) Healthcare and social security in your orign country. It is decent in the Nordic countries, and even better if you have an additional private insurance securing you a full package in 7 to 20 days and no waiting line. At 56 I pay 25 000,- baht a year.

Only 6 people indicated they are on their way to Thailand, in spite of the fact that 20,000 + DTVs were issued since July.

Why do you believe I link to my YouTube channel? It's just by coincidence he showed up in my feed after the bar begging thread, and I linked it to my topic. He have not left yet, but I have

Maybe the younger generation or newcomers do not bother looking up forums? I didn't look up forums before I already traveled a bit, and I found a few because of visa questions.

Many may have same problem as I do:

Bullet belt getting empty, or shooting blanks, thanks to decades of generous shooting... 😉

On second thought, you might be right.

There might be something more sinister going on. 

A lot of expats leave Thailand and then come on here and try to convince everyone else that Thailand sucks.
