Great Novelist
bkkbully;8546386 said:I've been living in Thailand, (based in Bangkok) but work all over Asia since Jan 2013.
I pay 215 dollars a month for a 1 bedroom condo in the heart of the city. That comes with gym, pool, lounge, internet, and electricity.
My water bill for the month is never over 6 dollars.
I speak the language fluently. I'm working on Mandarin next.
I'm a 45 min flight from some of the most beautiful islands, beaches, and mountains in the world. Those flights are about 60 bucks roundtrip. Took my girl on vacation to Koh Samui for 5 days and everything was 300 dollars (food + drink included for the both of us).
You can expect racial bullshit all over the world. Asians are racist too, mostly towards other Asians though. No one really cares about what White people think here. In every Asian country there is a derogatory word for "white" or "white devil" and people use it freely.
There are a lot of us folk over here though, we have FB groups and meet ups all the time. We throw parties, help network, etc. Overseas you truly feel like another Black American is your brother / sister and you all look out for each other. It's very collective thinking. For some reason once you get back on American soil its back to individualism.
Immigration here is a pain in the ass though, especially when you're doing it legally. The country is so corrupt on every level, it makes it difficult to do the right thing, or its difficult to understand what the right thing is. We Americans think our government is corrupt? Thai politics, cops, lawyers, will do it in everyones face and no one bats an eye because corruption is normal. That's why so many mafia bosses or ex-hit men come to Thailand and switch their names, buy new passports and live under the radar.

@2stepz_ahead , where in Switzerland are you? french or german side? I was there a few years ago but didn't really like it. Found Swiss people to be some of the most boring motherfuckers I've ever met. I'll be around in the spring again, hitting Antwerp, Berlin and then hitting Geneva

they have a coup here almost every 2 years. Thailand holds the world record for the most military coups in a nation. I've been here for at least 4 of them

as an expat you cannot purchase homes or land. You can if you marry a Thai. but as an expat you can only purchase a condo/apartment.

Its a possibility, but I'm thinking long term. It might be a disadvantage to be isolated like that.
