Anyone thinking or have moved to Bangkok? Give me your raw feedback about it. I make about $80K/year after taxes. I’m single, 37 and really wanting to experience life living abroad.

Same for me with the above however, I make about $70K/year after taxes. take home with a kid I would work at the Embassy and looking for International British Schools the child is in elementary. My big question is can I live comfortably, do we need a car if we live downtown?

Just go wherever you'll go within 2 years you'll be bankrupt and lost all your savings 😂😂😂😂

I mean I have $700k in liquid-able investments. I don’t think I’ll lose my savings with guaranteed income

What visa you gonna qualify for? Because the days of simply border hopping in Thailand are looong gone. Same with the days of just showing up at the airport early the day you fly out of Thailand forever and paying a small fine. Never mind the ever increasing fees and minimum deposit for residency visa.
DESPITE what social media and YouTube tell you The government of Thailand and the Thai people don’t really want anymore western, Korean or Japanese expats driving up the cost of living and gentrifying their country and their generally horrible behavior. Unless of course those foreigners can pay.
