Living in Thailand

[ronster]

Any crime I have read about or seen is usually for a reason . If you do your own thing and don't interfere with others business then you should have zero problems.

Obviously people breaking into property can be a problem with people being poor in certain areas or wanting cash to get wasted instead of working like most people. But if you live in the right area and take precautions you should never be broken into either.

If you offered me a choice of any city/town in Thailand Vs any major UK city to live then Thailand would win every time . UK looks like a warzone most days 😀

ancient? older than that even!  But almost daily I learn something else about people and this country.  Guess it is true that one is never to old to see something new.

My wife is a dual passport holder British/Thai. I am keen to come and live in Thailand after spending the last 20 years in the UK

Do yourself and your family a favor; Consider Spain!

I'm going to check out many places and 90% sure will start spending winters there.

Welcome!

Not so long ago I made a 360 mile trip in UK. I didn't see anything even remotely looking like a war zone.

I feel a lot safer here than back in the UK. People here, unless they are nutters, are very calm and mind their own business.

 

I recommend you live in the south as the air is quite good. Most foreigners in Bangkok and anywhere north of it seem very stressed out. Pollution is terrible.

People everywhere, unless they're nutters, are very calm and mind their own business.
