I’m currently in my 6th year living in Thailand, having grown up in South Australia and then spent a few years in the eastern states (of Australia). I moved because my (then gf, now wife) had been away from her home (Thailand) for ~10 years and wanted to come home for a while. I worked for a remote company at the time, so it was no problem work wise. I’ve since started my own company and work independently but still remote, so no issues there. The low cost of living is nice, but I definitely appreciate some of the western cultural/lifestyle aspects more now that I’ve lived here. I also appreciate things like government more now - people often claim Australia has become a “nanny state” due to regulations - Thailand is a perfect example of what can happen when government says “eh fuck it do what you want”. I realise that won’t mean much to those who haven’t lived here, but that’s the whole point of this thread, isn’t it.
