still wet behind the ears testing the waters out.

need to get away from this "foreigner enclave" that i settled in for ease and for lack of knowing a better place.

problem is 6 degrees of separation. guy in the building next to you chats you up at the restaurant, then you find out he lives in the same building as the guy who goes to the gym. The guy who goes to the gym is like an old lady who chats to everyone in the gym. next thing you know, you have anybody and everybody who is a felang shoving themselves in your face. 

like to maintain some privacy and living close to too many foreigners is a bad idea for me. 

need to change things up. 

 

 

Be careful going out into the wild.

Though if I was on trend I'd say

Basically enjoy yourself but be respectful to others.

What’s the best way to live in Thailand?

Simple question:

SIMPLE ANSWER: Make sure you have enough money for you and your dependents to enjoy your lives, otherwise you'll end up a nasty, miserable, moaning AN forum member. 

 

If not, stay wherever you are, Thailand doesn't want you 😡

The OP posts a positive topic, and most people respond positively. Yet you give the OP a thumbs down and follow it up with a negative comment just to remind everyone why nobody likes you. What is wrong with you?

Westerners shouldn't live in Thailand.

 

If you must you should live 1) In  a bubble with other farangs.  2) In  a bubble with your family from the west.

Yes Donald

Much depends on the age of the individual.

 

1 1/2. Not rural with land which means cutting grass but not urban big city with traffic etc. So a small house in a small provincial town with a few bars and restaurants. Access to nice motorcycling roads would be a bonus.

A couple of places I would avoid - 1). Living in shop house by the side of a busy main road in Patts , Bkk or any major town - all that noise and traffic fumes , no thanks ,

2). In the back of beyond near the border with Myanmar . Ok , might be quiet with nice scenery , but it`s too difficult to get to and inconvenient for shopping trips or visits to immigration etc .

Rent Free.

Very best way.

 

No such thing as a digital nomad. These are just backpackers with a laptop.
