ExpatOilWorker Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Thailand sure have some post card scenic places and having a Thai partner, Thailand is in many ways the best place to live, but if you could pick anywhere in The World, where would you live? Having watched the Tour de France for the past weeks, I must admit the Alps and Pyrenees region of Southern France looks amazing attractive.

landmonsun Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Hong Kong would be my ideal city to base myself out of. It has incredible scenery, diversity, and quality of living. But it is also one of the top five most expensive cities in the world. I could be happy in BKK, KL, maybe even Guangzhou or Shanghai, though the latter gets too cold for me in winter. Not sure I'd like to settle in Jakarta or many other places in SE Asia though. They seem a bit slow for someone used to a global city. I like Tokyo but again, the winters would wear on me. I do like San Francisco and L.A. but too expensive. NYC is grand but again too cold. Edited July 28, 2014 by landmonsun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 five years until I retire, still trapped in the rat race in the US, I read all the complains about Thailand on TVF and I think, " man what would I give to be you" If I could be any place in the world, I would be in my little corner of paradise in Khon Kaen, with my banana trees , my garden, my in- laws ,taking a walk at the night market. hanging out at the dam, and happily paying the 200 baht to the cop for speeding. Heck.... now I am home sick for Thailand again, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidieunimaitre Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Polynesia. Lived there before, but too expensive. The beaches, flowers, people, local and imported food, traditional and modern music, wine, the dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zierf1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 If not Thailand, then Indonesia. Such an exotic place. Far more authentic and not as touristed compared to Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nidieunimaitre Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Zermatt We went to Zermatt 2 years ago, during a Europe trip. The Matterhorn IS impressive, but what else is there? - I mean, apart from Japanese and Korean tourists, all following their guide? For mountain scenery there is Norway, and if you want food aswell (...), there is Austria. What makes you like Zermatt so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancnx Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 The trekking in the summer and the skiing in the winter. Cheese fondue washed down with fendant from the valais. My visits there were in the 70's and early 80's. No doubt changed a lot, but the treks over the peaks in the summer most memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
