      Yea, there's so much to do, see, and enjoy there. I feel that I could spend the rest of my life in Thailand if I had a residual income to just live as a tourist staying in expat guesthouses and enjoying life. Wouldn't that be so nice?

    100% Bangkok gives you the best value for your money. My condo was $2,100 for an entire year. 2 infinity pools, nice gym, train stop right outside, and a 7/11 right next door. You can't beat it with a stick. It gets even cheaper if you go to places like Pattaya lol I see why people don't want to leave this place lol

    Bangkok at night rocks, it's the vibe, the tall buildings all lit up and even in the suburbs looking on to street scene with the lights from nearby buildings. The flights are super expensive at present from the UK, so I'm not sure when I'll get back there, hopefully this year. Girls riding side saddle on a motorcycle, yeah nothing unusual here lol

    In late 2019 I ended up on a motorcycle taxi twice in Pattaya and still not sure how that happened, maybe due to a language barrier with me. Both rides scared the hell out of me, but such fun memories. I haven't been to NY City yet, but so thrilled with Bangkok I'd rather go back there instead for the reasons you mentioned.

    You don't need to move country so often as there is a lot to do, see, and show off which can keep your costs down. Thailand is the kind of country I spent 2 months in on 3 different trips. Lots of backpacker guesthouses, things like rural nature reserve hikes, and a great expat social scene in guesthouses and bars.

    5:45 there is almost nowhere in Thailand you will find uncovered places to present. I have lived here for years, and it drives you crazy how many UA-camrs arrive and present places as if they are the first to do so, unbeknownst they are the 10th person to stand at that exact spot this month. It becomes tiresome.
