Hello, all! My father & I are considering moving to Thailand. We've lived just outside of New Orleans for our entire lives (my dad lived in Florida & California for a brief period, but other than that, he's been here his whole life, & so have I). After our rent & food & other basic necessities are paid for, we have little money left over. Seems that in Thailand, we can rent a much nicer place to live in & have a good bit of money left over. We are paying $850 per month for a two-bedroom apartment right now, & it's not exactly pristine, know what I mean? Chiang Mai looks awesome, I've been looking at the houses for rent. Seems that we can get something very nice for a little over half of what we are paying now..?! One thing that concerns me a bit is whether or not there will be a good bit of English-speakers there. Does anyone know what that situation is like in Chiang Mai? Any feedback would be great. I'm looking at Malaysia, too....also looks nice, & apparently there are plenty of people who speak English.
