udon thani my expat base in thailand

Sunday

Most know Thailand as the world's tourist Eden yet moving to Thailand can become an expat's paradise. Finding a well paid job can be difficult but for the fortunate expats who manage, a luxurious lifestyle is just part of the reward. A warm and welcoming culture, beautiful landscapes and a chance to experience truly different customs make living in this foreign land both endlessly interesting and settling.

While most expats cluster in the dense and crowded city of Bangkok, others realise there are two Thailand: Bangkok and everywhere else. Although less likely, some expats scatter across the northern regions, such as Chiang Mai, udon thani ,and enjoy a quiet and more traditional Thai lifestyle. More popular are the beach resorts of Krabi and Phuket, where tourism related jobs and popular beaches lure fortunate working expats and retirees.

Although the vast majority of expats live in Bangkok, there are obvious advantages and disadvantages of both rural and urban living. In Thailand these features are exaggerated as rural and urban environments are so dissimilar. Rural communities often lack modern amenities and urban environments are on overdrive, inundating expats with noise pollution and lack of space. It is difficult to find a balance."

but myself i would choose issan ie udon thani as my retirement base yes it as it.s problems without a beach but the sun still shines and prices are far lower then other Thai destinations
but above all the feeling of being more part of the community although a few years ago in udon you where still a novelty doing your shopping these days falangs are as thick as fog
