My plan.

- go to a small mountain village

- buy a secluded bit of land off a farmer

- live there for 5-10 years very quietly

- grow fruit, vegies and raise chickens

- if I wanna go back to the west go pay my immigration 20k or whatever

Hippy !! .. No seriously ... up to you !!!! ... It's good to have a dream , and better to live it !!! ..... Wish you luck on your adventure.... CHOKDEE

When you go don't take your laptop. Better if you don't post....

Worked for me ! Although I dont have chickens, unless they go on the bbq.

Do not feed the trolls.

You will get seriously bored very quickly! But hey, if you don't try it you will never know .

If you just woke up this morning and thought about this, consider thinking again. It sounds great, in the hills, remote (even hiding....... ), new adventures, etc.

Fantastic! Until the novelty wears off. I live up-country, by no means remote, and have lost count of the number of people who have had similar notions. It works for some, but doesn't for most.

Think about it carefully..................

Good dream, wish it could do it

What could possibly go wrong?? Report back in 5 yrs.

If immigration find you before you get to the airport, you'll end up in a not very nice prison cell until you get deported. However, I have known people to do it but they all have a get out of jail free card.

I have no family that wants me or cares about me

I have no friends at all

Every day im alone...

Sounds like a plan. Go ahead, do you feel lucky?

I thought you are going to Vietnam and you wanted to know the price of Gold Baht.

Now you are going to the mountains.

Next will be the moon.

Stop trolling.

Troll TROLL trolololol

the thaivisa boys club's FAVOURITE word is troll

get a grip on reality, people think, people communicate and then people act

you people are a headache for others

You'd need rice.

Do you know how to grow rice?

IF you didn't know already then you might starve whilst learning.

Also when the locals learnt they could take back "your" land with a 5 baht call to immigration, do you think they wouldn't ?

Why not do the same in Cambodia?

Also much easier to make that legal there so no worries about the man raiding you.

That's no reason to put your self in a position where you have no legal rights & and, as I suspect, not enough land or husbandry skills to keep yourself.

There's NO hiding from the authorities as a foreigner in Thailand, they'll check up on you every once in a while for sure, even if only by word of mouth. If they think you're up to anything sketchy more directly and frequently.

So being illegal is pretty stupid if you have a choice about it, the guys that get away with it have a cover story that fits into a well-worn pigeonhole so the BiB don't give them another thought.

You'll still need cash income.

And can't buy the land anyway.

Great idea.

But remember it takes a while to grow the fruit and the veg to be self sufficient.

Make sure you have running fresh water, then can wash and everything for nawt.

Take hundreds of books with you and spend the spare time reading, you will fall asleep easy at night after all the days work, even afternoon naps in the shade by the river as you doze off reading one of them books.

Oh my.......

even to live with nothing, cost some money.

So, unless you are rich, dont forget to apply for a job...

You can't own land as a foreigner.

Yes you can , just don't tell anyone, find some land and just settle down, then hope for the best .

No.

I think perhaps you don't understand the meaning of the word "own". Not a good business model when planting perennials.

if you are seriously asking, then maybe u have some doubts:

what happens if you are ill (malaria, dengue, dysentery)

food? farming is not easy and subsistance level farming isnt either, unless u can live on very little

u cant own land.

drinkable water may be a problem depending where u are

a lone foreigner nowadays might attract house robbers etc

immigration problems

money problems

easier , if u feel the need to get a way, is to go to a wat, as a foriegn monk or monk in training, there are many programs, if it all appeasl to u then u can extend the time. after all, the lifestyle u are asking about is practically the same at a wat (temple), or forest temple... food is provived as well as sleeping quarters, there are poeple around if needed but not if u dont want, but still safer in long run...

By god, nothing like a monk in a temple life.

He can sleep in when he wants, eat what and when he wants, does not have to listen or take part in endless rants.

It could be nice if it's peace, quite and "getting away from it all" is your objective. If, on the other hand it is a case of trying to get away from oneself the the geographical change probably will not help.

Could you not just organise a self-induced coma and save all that hassle?

Sorry to hear that dude.

I suggest if this is the truth, go and do it, you've got nothing to lose.... well you may have a few things to lose but if I was in that situation I would go for it and see what happens. Do whatever makes you happy and good luck!
