The vast majority of Thai pepole do not speak English well. There are excellent language translator app's for our phones that are worthwhile purchasing. Some are free. The expat ,the non native outsider ,should know some basic Thai even if it ... Read More

Cooking like a local in Thailand by Priscilla
Hello, Enjoying the local food of your expat country is great, but learning to cook the dishes yourself is even better. Please share what it's like cooking like a local in Thailand. What are some of the most popular local dishes that are easy ...
BK as an experienced consumer of Thai food rather then a chef I whole heartedly agree with you. Once out of Thailand and Southeast Asia many of the ingredients aren't readily available and some aren't available at all. Try to easily find ... Read More

For what I get for USD 100k in Chiang Mai province costs me nearly five times that in the USA and for me the food and lifestyle is much better here then there. I'd spend more in the Netherlands for the same. I know more then one living on Baht ... Read More

for me. I will choose Viet Nam or Singapore :D :kiss:
I choose Thailand because it fits my personality. If one is not forced to move to a specific country I would suggest visiting as many countries as you can and try sampling the country as a native would unless your preference is to live in a ... Read More

Not to add too much more extraneous information about stove tops but a stove with both gas burners and electric cooking elements is also available in Thailand. Not high end expensive or my wife would not have purchased it. More for a kitchen in a ... Read More

I think one can live here happily and successfully if one understands that they are in Thailand and not back home in their western nation. Don’t expect Thailand to adopt your ways. You're the outsider. With that said it is quite easy to ... Read More
