Work Abroad

Although things are cheap in Thailand, things actually work. The infrastructure is good, the people are friendly and there are loads of expatriates living and working there. Few people speak English well, which can be a drawback but you can get by on around $500-800 a month and enjoy a good lifestyle year round. The heat is terrific but you can always work at night and sleep late.

With the new military government visas have become a problem. In the past you had to make a border run each month but now they’re limiting that option to a maximum of 3 months. Check out enrolling in Thai language schools to get yourself a student visa.

Try Bangkok if you like a city vibe, Chiang Mai for something a bit quieter and there’s an easy life waiting down at the large collection of islands that draw so many travelers to Thailand.
