Thailand has so much more to offer than the cities and tourist areas.
Northern Thailand, Isaan, and anywhere rural offers an excellent quality of life far from the maddening crowds, traffic, scams, air pollution and high costs.
Most people that relocate to Thailand never have a clue the beauty and naturalism of these areas, opting for Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket.
But the smart ones realize the best quality of life is here.
