Who can predict what happens in the next 5, 10, 20 or 40 years?
The answer is no one.
Yet 10,000’s expats each year are ready to pull the plug on their current life in their home country for the experiences they experience being a tourist with a pocket full of money.
Thailand is only a place for those that DO NOT NEED to EARN MONEY in the country.
If you HAVE to work and earn money, you will never save enough to retire, if you make it that long, before having to return home due to lack of finances.
Have seen it 1,000 X times.
Tourist experience hooks the expat where they think living in Thailand forever will be a dream; until they realize it is not free and has to be paid for.
Taking a menial job as an English teacher will get bored quick with the long, long hours and low pay.
Sooner or later you will realize that is not the life for a young person.
Trying to be a farmer?
If Thai’s that have been farming their whole lives cannot make a financial go of it, why do expats think they can?
Money is extremely hard to make in Thailand.
Ask the 10,000’s of Youtuber’s who do not make enough to support themselves.
Any location in the world worth living in cost money, Thailand is no exception.
Money to buy you enough happiness to get your through to death.
That is the reality.
30 or 40 years is a darn long time.
Thailand is only forever, if you afford it.
Plain and simple fact.
