    Thailand is great for expats and foreigners. I´ve been there many times, also living there for a short time.(in Bangkok)
    I loved it as I was there as an insider since I used to married there. Just a few added details about Thailand, a farang is a white person not a foreigner. And if you buy house in Thailand you need to rent the land it´s on, meaning that the owner of the land can take it back (you loose your house). So be careful of this

    Don't be shy to bargain a price but don't be a bargain at a ridiculous price way low than half of the price. Just glance over for what is posted in the area to know that you are paying at a regular price. There are so many vendors to choose from. A warning is to avoid criticizing any Royals and staying away from Thai politics and periods. Bangkok is not my choice unless you are craving nightlight excitement and people.

    i heard 260$ for a full time who lives elsewhere. maybe that was rural.....oddly, the part at the end that says farang will NEVER be totally accepted kinda ruined all the good stuff before that; maybe it's already understood,,,,but the way that you said it sounded weird, like a warning or chasing us away

    At one time, I was focused on making Thailand my retirement destination, but in recent years, I’ve heard about how many Thais treat foreigners as ATMs. I’ve heard about abuse from immigration and the police. Laws have been enacted which make life difficult and expensive and sometimes impossible for expat retirees. Foreigners are taken advantage of everyday in Thailand and you are spot-on about the Farang situation. I’m looking elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll ever have the pleasure to enjoy Thailand. 🇹🇭

    Thailand isn't inexpensive any longer. You can still find some good home rental deals, electric prices are lower as are internet/WiFi. If you are of retirement age you have to put approximately $25,000 USD in a Thai bank and even though you do this and get your visa, you are still required to do a 90 day report at immigration. A pain in the ass. Beer and alcohol is double the price of the states, so is cheese, salami's, wine and so on...I speak Thai pretty good (Thais think I speak it very well) so I do well in local stores and markets and pay less than a tourist. One of the biggest misconception is that Thais are laid back and loving people. Get on your motorbike or in your car and you will experience some of the rudest and violent people in the world. Don't get me wrong, there are many wonderful Thai people. I'm in Phuket for six years, lived in Bangkok and Jomtien Beach. I have over 20 years of living in Thailand and first came here over 30 years ago. I know this country and Thai people very well.

    • @orawancarlile6192
      @orawancarlile6192 2 года назад +2

      You have chosen to be in a tourist trap. So, that's what you got. The locals learned attitude toward "Farangs" from the lower classes of people. The southerner Thais are more selfish due to Islamic influences. And each area of the country is not the same, don't make an assumption that we are all the same. Each region has its own culture and dialect spoken.

      @Jerry Springer When you are in Rome, behave like a Roman. Unfortunately racism is only in your head as a foreigner. Thais do not judge about race only the Westerners.
      We watched how they behave.
