Well why not indeed
Many of us at some point think of leaving our home country. A few years ago I left the UK for many reasons most i will explain below stick around
The urge to find an peacefull location to spend the rest of my life - The opportunity to live a happier and more relaxed lifestyle.
Not happy with the way things were going in the UK - This for me was various reasons, - stress of modern living, high taxation poor weather. People just dont seem to say hello to one another, or even be polite. When you're in the "rat race" day after day, it becomes too easy not to notice what is happening around you.
This is something that seems to be the norm in today's world.
For you to still be reading this far, you also must have at some point had a similar idea. To turn this into reality, just read on through these pages and see that it is actually possible to carry out this dream and do something more tangible with your life.It may be beneficial for you to take notes as you browse though the different sections, thus making it easier for you to ask your own questions later

deciding To Become an Expat
Not an easy decision - When you have spent the majority of your adult life (and probably whole life) in the country of your birth there will be so many questions which need answering.
So many things to give up at home:
Things I wanted to give up least - Good food and real ale. (Coming from the UK, the real ale was the hardest decision for me!) Things I wanted to give up most - Expensive housing costs crazy fuel prices, travel costs in general, high taxation.
We often imagine that "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence". But -if you don't go and at least have a look, you'll never know!
So for you to have somewhere in mind that you would like to emigrate to, you'll need to have visited enough times to capture your interest and also to inspire you live a better. Life

We are talking about something which requires extremely careful thought. You must have had enough experience of your prospective new country to give you the confidence to even consider this momentous decision.
Read more about the exhaustive planning required and some things you could possibly overlook:
Getting rid of a large portion of your belongings and starting in a foreign environment, is not exactly the easiest thing in the world.but it.s far from the impossible believe in yourself
So, the more research you do, the easier the actual act of relocating will be.
Sure, if you move to South America, Europe, anywhere Down Under and numerous other countries throughout this big beautiful world, you'll most likely get by. But when you become an Expat in Thailand, we are talking strictly “alien” - as defined by the Thai government (but friendly alien).

Were talking about a country and culture that not only dates back to the 12th century, but is the only Asian country that has never ever been colonized by anybody (the Thai perception). Now that's not to say that there haven't been those that tried to impose their influence. For whatever the reason, thankfully they did not succeed. I say that because I am the one that can enjoy this beautiful, peaceful and reverent society.
