leosuntime Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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 comments? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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..................

Neeranam Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomSand Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted January 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2014 Why not do the same in Cambodia? Also much easier to make that legal there so no worries about the man raiding you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

wym Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showbags Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bina Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dotpoom Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
