How do people know if moving to Thailand is the answer for them?
There are many factors in Thailand that tourists never get to experience.
Living in Thailand the rest of your life has it’s own set of issues.
Besides qualifying for a proper visa and having enough income to live in Thailand the rest of your life, the weather, the culture, the language and medical insurance all play in big part in whether westerner’s can survive here the rest of their lives.
The only advice I can give is if you are seriously considering moving to Thailand the rest of your life, come rent a condo or AirBnB for 3 months and see if this is where you want to spend the rest of your life.
When you are living the daily grind in Thailand, it is no where near the same experience as a tourist with a pocket full of money.
In the first 90 days, you will get experience with many aspects of daily life that will help you to make a decision long term.
Moving 10,000 miles away from your homeland is a huge move.
You do not want to move and find out a year later Thailand is not for you.
Try Thailand first, try to live the same daily life as you will live when you move here permanently.
Get a taste of if Thailand is 100% where you want to be the rest of your life.
That is the smartest decision you can make for your future.
