      Phuket for snorkeling, Chaing Mai for night markets. I don't know if Bangkok is still terribly polluted like it was in early 2000s.

    Thank you for the video. One thing that you didn't mention was the safety. I'm doing research on retiring overseas and my top priority is safety.

      95 Fahrenheit several days in a row in May. It’s a good town tho, just climate wise it may be more moderate than southern Thailand
      But you’re also land locked, and still relatively warm.

An Americans experience in Thailand will be different than Philippines(for example) because of English, culture, and Tagalog is a lot easier to learn than Thai. But from what I’ve seen American men aren’t likely to become best buds with ur average Thai or Filipino, independent of language competency.
