Expensive = paradise

Cheap = shithole

for the most part yes
i think the main issue is many people think cheap = good
expensive = bad

just because you can't afford a good life in NYC it doesnt make it a bad city
and on the opposite side, having 2k in thailand doesn't make it the best country, it's still a shit city but you can afford upper class there

the way to analyze it is, if you had unlimited money, which place would be the best?
thailand would rank very low

seoul

or shanghai. but i already plan to move there

only reason i don’t live in seoul anymore is cuz you need to pay $50,000 minimum to get a decent apartment to rent. sure you’ll get the money back when you leave but fuck that

based

the military has always held the power in thailand (backed by us gov). the new party tried to change the status quo too fast. as long as the old system keeps allowing for cia to ship weapons to burmese rebels in the north, and not swaying too much to chinas side, it will be business as usual. if not, expect color revolutions

 

[AlexBrown84]

you can see the same characteristics in myanmar too. except myanmar isn’t developed so while thailand has cia funded ngo color revolutions, myanmar has active conflicts.

also look at the size of the american consulate in chiang mai. fucking gigantic. and it’s not to process visas lol. same with laos. i drove past the american embassy in vientiane and its giant. both hubs for spy operations in the region, with chiang mai specifically targeted for myanmar

and why keep myanmar in conflict? so china can’t build infrastructure to the indian ocean

there's lots of tail risks in countries like thailand, thats why you dont see 8 and 9 figure entrepreneurs moving there
it's business as usual until some day it goes wrong, you lose your thai visa because military doesn't want foreigners anymore and your thai condo, currency and investments go down 50%

myanmar pdf are close to beating the junta but what's the aftermath?

just the cost of doing business in the region

 

[14passport]

again we are back to no perfect city, figure out what you like and which tradeoffs are you ok with
do your own research, try different cities for a few weeks
forget about everything else and be happy
