As a long term Hong Kong expat I can honestly say moving to Asia was the best decision of my life. Moved from UK aged 27 and been here for over a decade. Spent 4 months in uk back in 2019 and learned I had missed precisely nothing......Thailand, Malaysia and Bali are future options but one thing is for sure: I am never gonna finish my life in the West. The West is finished, at least for another one/two generations.

I've been saying this for years and love to hear it coming from you. People talk about reading books so much as if to make themselves look good just for asking what your favorite book is, assuming that everyone reads. I confidently say I don't have a favorite book. I don't read books. I search online for things that help me achieve my goal and that's it.

I never regretted anything about my year in Chiang Mai. Too busy enjoying life. I was a bit different from others. I was on a retirement visa but way too young for real retirement. So I took it as a kind of "gap year", a chance to try out living in a foreign country 'as if' I were retired. Highly recommend doing that, btw. There is no cut and dry way to do anything...and never too late to make a change.

Very good points. To reinforce your points.. Long Term Visa (1000_1300_USD/Yr), Motorcycle License (20_USD), Motorbike(1500_USD).. You are all set after that.. Don't commit to a long term lease. Thailand is very diverse. Travel all the places before settling on a town. Bank accounts are easy too.. Just get one. You don't have to carry cash every where. Saves you lots of time and post traumatic stress after misplacing your cash at least a few times. Its easy to move from town to town on a motorbike. With in 4 hr drive you will probably find a nice town to live. I recommend motorbiking across thailand. Ultimately yes CM in the winters and Ao Nang in the summers is my choice of locations. I don't like to live any where near touristy areas. Any where 10 min drive out of those areas are pretty good decent places. I love Thailand. Most importantly don't own stuff. Just live with as less as you can. This will help you keep mobile. Big back pack can be carried on any 125 cc for a whole day with no problems.

Hope you will eventually find that its start with you and wherever you are.

PS - I only say this because when i was in CM i saw people burn out / get depressed / go back home after their business failed, when in retrospect, the stress they would endure back in the west building the business would be fundamentally worth it, as when they finally did get to CM and live out their dream, they could relax & enjoy it.

Chiang Mai is too far from everywhere. You should have done a month in Kanchanaburi. No beach but has rivers and lakes and waterfalls as well as mountains. You can even visit a fake beach on the side of a lake. Bangkok only two hours and 100Bht away or you could take a boat down the River Kwai to Hua Hin and the Gulf of Thailand. Agree with you about all the self-help books. Vast majority of those authors are just grifters (they who can, do. They who can’t do, teach). Such books are worth as much as a set of weights, which do nothing but sit in the corner of your bedroom. No good buying tools you’re never gonna actually use. Learn to do something rather than how somebody else did something.

Now, in Lopburi, I'm paranoid about the damn house gecko trying to get into my apartment as I'm yelling at it, "There's no damn bugs in here to eat! Get lost!" Man, the only reptiles I like are turtles. The majority of them are slow moving, they don't have creepy scales/colors that make your skin crawl, and they're relatively friendly (besides the snapping turtles). Everyone I talk to tells me I should be more concerned about the damn monkeys and soi dogs. The monkeys are in a small part of town, and the dogs are all bark. I've heard the traffic in Thailand is dangerous, but, so far, I think it all depends on how you approach the subject of traffic. You have to be patient and cautious. As long as you're patient and cautious, I don't think you'll have problems in Thailand regarding traffic.
