    My wide body configuration would be a challenge on those very narrow sidewalks, especially the ones with trees or poles in the middle of them and with constant motorcycles whizzing between you and the cars on those roads. Scary! I hope your camera has a view screen for you that shows what's coming up behind you. Doesn't appear to be very pedestrian friendly there, but I'm probably wrong. I guess I'm just a country boy at heart.

      ​@kathysherwood3174 Yes! Can't wait! Also, FYI, if you guys do end up renting a condo in that building right behind us for a little bit, there's a Starbucks directly across the street! 😂 But it's still usual Starbucks and still stupid expensive. There's lots of other coffee around that's so good for a fraction of the price. Even in the little "Tao Bin" machines, for $1-$1.50 😂

    Here's my problems with Thailand, and why I still prefer Costa Rica over thailand. Maybe I'm wrong. (Just my brain spilling out)
    The Language. Thai is very hard. So is Spanish. But at least CR has some English.
    Time Zone. If you are timezone independant for your living! your the king. Most of us need EST, or CST. or 1 hour off. anymore than that and things don't go well. Visas. Its easy to just leave now every 6 months, or buy a place for $150K. Boom you can get residency. In Thailand its not as easy. Proximely to family and friends, I know that comes up alot and I personally don't care that much, but man its a 20 hour flight to visit old friends and family. Surfing, its hard to find good surf in Thailand I bet and I'm sure its not cheap to live anywhere near where you could. Private Schools/College this is still a big issue in both countries. Rent/Food. I'm sure both rent and food is cheaper in Thailand. But in CR you can find cheaper than in Canada or the US. Women/Dating. I'm married with kids but for Single Men in there 40's or older Thailand is a heaven from what I've heard. Shopping. I do like amazon and I also like shopping local. But for me I could give up Amazon No Problem.

    • @TheDufresnes
      @TheDufresnes  Місяць тому +1

      Have you been to Thailand?
      Language - A lot of Thais speak English, more than Costa Ricans
      Time zones - yes this depends on if you work online but people do make it work.
      Visa/border runs - Costa Rica is much easier now with the 180 day tourist visa, Thailand now has 60 on arrival and you can extend for 30. The new Destination Thailand Visa can get you 5 years in Thailand, multiple entry and you only have to leave once every 360 days.
      Distance from Family is definitely an inconvenience here.
      Surfing is boring! There are plenty of other options here for sport over what is available in Costa Rica.
      Their are so many Private schools in Thailand, plenty in Bangkok and even on Koh Samui and Phuket
      Rent/food - Waaay cheaper here in Thailand, you can find cheaper rent in Costa Rica but you will be living in a very rural area with no amenities around. Food has gotten way more expensive in CR not cheaper than either Canada or USA. We found stuff in Cali for less than CR. Thailand is a third of the price on most stuff.
      Shopping - Until you live in CR for an extended period of time you won't understand how annoying it is trying to find certain things you need and how inconvenient it is. After 7 years it got real old.
      Either way CR is better than North America but so is Thailand. They are similar in some ways but you can't really compare. Pros and cons to both when comparing to your current life.
